ST INCREASE FOR
POLICE, F|REMEN,
PLAN Of D0RSET7
Present Pay Tempts Officers
to Take BribeS, Says
Councilman.

An ordinance to increase the sal
aries of police and firemen 81 a day
will be introduced by Councilman
Walter r. Dorsett at city council
meeting, Monday night. he said to-
day.
"The present police investigation
has led me to believe that only
through increasing the compensation
of policemen may the necessary
higher type Of personnel be
achieved" Dorset explained.
Dorsett also planned to introduce
an ordinance to abolish all sign
boards within the city limits, as a
move toward city Identification.
Believes Pay Low
Dorsett said the compensation of
Indianapolis police and firemen is
lower than in other large cities. He
pointed out that both police and
firemen received only $4.25 a day
their first year on the force while
the pay Is $3.50 in New York.
The board of safety now contem-
plates adding 100 policemen to the
force.
There are now approximately $40
policemen and 621 firemen.
Less Temptation
"If policemen received adequate
pay, there would be less temptation
to receive free cigars, cigarets and
even money bribes from those who
seekto evade the law" said Dorset
Dorsett said the ordinance would
take effect Jan. l.
AS a member Of the majority
faction Of city council, Dorsett will
probably be able to count on five
votes in support of his ordinance.
