 salary Petition Astray
 Tn spite Of the fact that the pc tition to increase the mayors salary from four 10 five thousand dollars and those of the city counclmen from two hundred to six hundred dollars did not reach the council for action al the meeting last Tuesday evening, it is understood that it will be ready for action at the adjourn ed meeting 10 be held later in the month.
 There is considerable speculation ,,I,- |, .aj last Tue esday, as it IS well known that the matter of increases for the two officials has been discussed for several weeks, One prominent resi- dent mentioned yesterday that pos sibly one reason which delayed the petition was that, were it known for a certainty that the question of sal ary increases was to be put up to the voters al the election on Monday. October 3, there would be numer- ous candidates seeking the berth. However, the fact that all names of '0o LaqualdaS no pleV % ol sa!IBu had to be filed prior to noon today, the holding up of the petition until after today would discourage others from announcing their candidacy.
