MAYOR CHALLENGES
 K|RkHAM'S OPINION
Paonessa and Corporation Coun- sd Going to the Mat
SALARY RULING DISPUTE
Executive Wants to Know Why Council Was Not Required to Pass On Remuneration of Several City Officials in Past.

In a letter to Corporation Counsel John H. kirkham today, Mayor Paonessa asked If it was his final decision that the salary of Chair man James J. Watson Of the water board must be fixed by the common council. and If so why he has not insisted that this provision of the law be adhered to in the past.
 The mayor asked that early an- swer be made and in the meantime he is withholding his approval of the councils resolution fixing Mir. Wat sons salary at sl.o0o. The amount is the same as that paid w L. Hatch. Watson's predecessor. and is satisfactory to all concerned, but the mayor is of the opinion that to ap- prove will be to set a precedent which will require future action CT salary questions which he regards as unnecessary
 Discussing the step taken today the mayor declared that he regarded IL iilVHt sll e'IlS' that l1lSlslellCt ci common council approval should come just at this time and under existing conditions. hence this ques- tion as to why similar action was not taken in the past.
 ! Judge Kirkham's ruling was based on the ordinance which says that the salary of city employees must be fixed by the common council whon- ever vacancy occurs MT. Watson succeeded Mir. Hatch last week.
 If the corporation counsel was correct in his stand. the mayor pointed out today. it would be nec- essary for the common council to fix salary for the chairmen of the police. fire and public works boards the clerk of the fire board members of the board of compensation and assessment and of the public works board and numerous others. These positions are now being filled by men appointed by the present admins tration and the new appointees are drawing the salaries of thsir pre- decessors without any council ac- ton thereon.
