 Reported opposition to an in crease in the salary of building in- spector failed to materialize when Chairman Frederick G. Hausmann of the salary committee informed the council the charter requires con sideration of the inspectors pay at this time. Those who announced themselves prepared to fight a boost from S2,700 to S3,500 said they were moved not by opposition to the amount, but because salary increase petitions must come in during the month of December, according to the charter. Councilman Hausmann read sections of the charter showing that every salary must come up for consideration whenever these has been a vacancy. The resignation of E. J. Hennessy created the vacancy which brings the salary before the council, it was explained.

TAKES NEW FLING
 AT 'RAILROADING'
SablOtsky Again Raps Board of
 Public Works

The board of public works seems to have no respect for the mayor and no respect for his committee" :" Councilman Samuel Sablotsky de- clared last night when he criticized the commission for the third time in as many meetings for presenting recommendations not contained in the printed reports.
 Councilman Sablotsky is leading q movement to require advance mo- tice of all recommendations com ing from boards. Several days prior to each meeting, council members receive in the mail a printed copy of each boards recommendations, but the public works commission all most without exception supplements its reports on the night of the meet ing. Sablotsky claims this pro- cedure amounts to "railroading" and as a member of the mayors committee to revise council pro- cedure he hopes to have recom- mendations so offered tabled.
 The sixth warder took exception last night to payment of bill of S2,600 to Joseph Battaglia, con- tractor, who has completed a job for the department of public works. The bill did not come before the finance committee, but was signed by the chairman, Alderman Walter Falk. In reply to questions, En- gineer Williams said the money rep resents a 5 per cent installment due Battaglia under a contract already approved by the common council. Falk declared the bill could have been paid without reference to the committee since it previously re- ceived the council 0. k. as a part of the contract.

LEAVING MUCH TO DESIRE

A jury differing, apparently, in
their conception of duty, from that
which gave a verdict on the Waltham
carbarn murder, rendered a verdict
on the Staying Of a worthy police
man, Officer Comeau. Fortunately
their verdict is not the last to be had
for these young thugs, who i'm
mediately following the killing of
the policeman set about robbing Il
house, and then home to sleep
soundly with the guilt OF murder
hanging over them.
The jury appeared to think of the
mentality of the criminals, rather
than of the fate of the officer, his
family or the protection of society
from such hare-brained menaces as
these immature specimens OF low
and perverted mentality. The effect
on society of this verdict is bad, bad,
too, in the impression it makes on
similarly depraved specimens at
large. Deshon being found guilty of

connected with that for which the
three were abroad that night, the
other two go clear, so far as the
killing is concerned. All three, by
their own admissions. were con-
cerned in theft and breaking and
entering all being armed. We hope
the same jury does not try them on
those charges.
1t Is very apparent that youth
like these should, for the good Of all
| concerned. be segregated and kept
from association with the public
until they undergo a change for the
better. They may not be eligible to
an idiot asylum, but there is more

A WORD ABOUT CONGRESS

The present Congress cannot do
all that Is needed to be done, ana
may be expected TO do some things
1t should not have done, for Con-
gress is composed of mortals, sub
ject to mortal mistakes and desires.
When 1t goes home for few months
there will be few to wish 1t back.
However, when 1t does come back 1t
may have crystallized some opinion
into conclusion.
Then It may be convinced 1ust
what II should DO to obviate. in SC
far a. legislation may do this-a
matter Of grave doubt recurrence
of strikes in the coal mines. 1t has
chosen the usual commission method
and dare not accept what the COM
mission brings in the way OF fnd-
ings. It has made no Roadway
toward departmental reorganization
how we'll the bureaucrats know

requests of the drys, or approved
the bills the drys have introduced.
Though Muscle Shoals, the French

radio control may have to wait, al
though there is thought to be a
chance for the last two, this has

House Built Near Tee
Is Hazard" On Course

Pierre. S. D.. June 1S.-(P)-The
34-stroke par of the Pierre County
Clubs golf course has been raised
one stroke because of the obstinacy
of recluse who built himself d
house on the links.
The hermit had lived for years In a
shack on the Missouri river bank, but
when the city acquired the river
front for park it drove him out.
The golf course is situated on a
sub division laid out eleven years aso
and cut into lots. Nobody built on
any of the lots, and the country club
acquired them for links. Many of
the owners lived In distant states
and had all but forgotten the prop
erty.
The recluse recalled that among
his few worldly possessions was a
lot on the golf course. He located it.
and hastily constructed a hut. The
next day golfers found it looming
thirty yards from the tee of the fifth
hole, squarely blocking the greer.
The owner asked too much for the
lot. So the house will stay, the golf
ers will use a mashie from the tee,
and par for the hole will be five
instead of four
