 It is known that the tiremen's s petition for an increase in pay will be presented and on the basis Of the recommendation of the fire con- missionors, a raise Of s3.50 a week will b" suggested for the regular mon. This will mean an additional appropriation for the fire depart ment of S4.j5o for tho coming year and it is believed that there will be no opposition 10 the increase on the part of the city council. The police VII also as'; for an increase, accord ing 10 members Of the department. and it is probable that the police commissioners will follow the lead Of the fire commission in recommend ing an increase of $50 a week.
