them in the same salary class with

today by the Chamber of Commerce,

A special committee of the chamber,
headed by Robert n. Harper, will ap.

sioner, and Harry NJ. Crandall.
The movement for increasing the
commissioners salaries was launched
al recent meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce, following a plea for
more adequate remuneration made
publicly by Engineer Commissioner
Bell, whose term of assignment with
the local government expires in July.
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee will base it's arguments on
the ground that it was originally in
tended that the salaries OF Repre-
sentatives and Commissioners be the
same and that whereas the compen-
sation for the Federal officials has
been increased to $4,000, the pay of
the Commissioners remains at $500.
although their duties and RESPONSE
bilities have increased tremendously
in recent years.
