men and teachers was because these
groups were not covered by the
classification act.
Not only do the police and firemen
have their wages temporarily re-
duced, but they are prevented from
getting the one day off week allow
ed them in the new salary bills until
December. 1t is impossible for the
Commissioners to grant the day off
without more men, and the defeated
deficiency bill carried the additional
men required.
Pay Saving In Prospect.
When the second deficiency bill
passes in December it will carry $685.
$50 less for the District than il it
had passed before adjournment last
night.
This represents the salary that
would have been paid to 165 new
policemen and 115 new firemen be-
tween July and December. These ad-
make the two forces large enough to
give each man one day off a week.

bill finally passes. but the District
will save the wages they would have
received if appointed now.
