MATRON LOSES JOB;
 CHILD, LAW SAYS
Married Girl of IA Can't Work
 10 Hours Daily

Mrs. Joseph Blanco of this city Is perhaps the first married woman in the state of Connecticut to lose her employment through operation of a state law which prohibits the em- ployment of persons under the age of 1s for more than eight hours a day.
 Mrs. Blanco is IA years of age and was only recently married. For some time she was employed by the Cor bin Screw Corporation under the be- lief that she was IS years old. The factory officials learned this week she is but 14 and since her lob Is one that requires 10 hours of work each day it was found necessary to dispense with her services.
 As far as local employers could re- call this is the first instance of a married woman coming under the law governing the employment of children.

such facilities as telephones and offices. are receiving salaries which are considerably higher than that of the corporation counsel of this city.
 In reviewing the various duties connected with the office Judge Kirkham said that much work is ontailed by the office of the board of public works. The city is gar nished at least once a week and this causes much additional work to fall upon the corporation counsel.
 Assistant Corporation Counsel M. H. Camp also spoke briefly, outlln- ing the work of the office of the corporation counsel and reiterating several of the statemepts made by Judge Kirkham. ;,
 In reply to Councilman Rodman Chamberlain's question of what he considered a salary commensurate with the duties of the office Judge Kirkham said that $5,000 would be a fair salary. He said that although the work of the office has been dou- bled during the last five years the salary has not been increased since four years ago. When asked by Councilman Bradley if the work of the office would require one mans full time Judge Kirkham replied that to do the work properly devo- tion of his full time would be neces- sary.

 Although the policemen and the firemen petitioned for increases, the former for 10 per cent raise. and the latter for an increase, of 50 cents day, they were not included in the li5t of those recommended for in- creased wages. However, 1t is likely that when the report comes up for action by the common council an effort will be made to include them in the list of increases. In most cases the increases granted were not as large aO the increases asked but in almost every instance an increase was granted, probably the largest be- ing those of Dr. Pullen and Corpora tion Counsel Kirkham.
