Mayor Weld approves the fire board proposal 10 create q nosition or third deputy chief, which would be filled by Master Mechanic Ed ward C.. Burke, and feels that the office should be approved even though Burke's salary is not in creased.
 Today's declaration was the first made by the mayor since the fire board opened it's campaign to make Burke a deputy chief. It introduces new thought into the discussion since the establishing Of a chiefship without a salary boost has not here totore been considered, the commits Sloh"rs having made il plain to the salary committee that higher pay was one of the two important con- Sideralions, the other being q de sire to vest more authority in the office Of master mechanic.

Change in Proposed Lay out Avoids Payment of
 Heavy Damages

To avoid payment Of damages in the amount of s1O,000 to the South Congregational Church Ecclesiasti- cal society, the board of public works has changed the layout to eliminate work at the north corner of the church property and has re- moved what is believed to be the only obstacle which has stood in the way of wider Arch street.
 The new layout will be referred to the board of compensation and as- sessment for appraisal of damages and benefits. and the report of that board is expected to be returned in time to include an item in next years budget for the street opera tiOns.
 Owners of properties which are to be affected by the street widening have offered their land without claim for damages in excess of benefits to expedite the work of the com pensation and assessment board. Honeyman building at the west en- trance to the street abuts on a side walk placed four feet back and will servc as the line for developing the new layout.
 The south church will not ask orlponsation for two feet of land which will be cut from the Arch street side of It's property.
