Alderman Kapsch offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, the Special Laws of 1891,
Chapter SO, Section 10, Can Act to
Establish a Municipal Court in the
City of Ely as amended by the Ses-
sion Laws of 1915, Chapter Sc, Sec
ton 8, places the salary OF the Judge
of the Municipal Court of the city of
Ely at 81 10000 per year, and the sal
airy of the Special Municipal Judge
at $500 per day with proviso that
he at no time shall receive in one
given month more than the amount of
the salary of the regular Municipal
Judge.
And Whereas, the council of the
city of Ely feels that the salary of
both judges as set by the Legislature
in 1915, is now entirely too meager
and not commensurate with the duties
of the respective Offices
And Whereas, since 1915, when the
previous salaries were set, the city OF
Ely has enlarged quite considerably
both in area and population, with a
corresponding increase in the respon-
sibilities of the Court and Judges.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved by
the City Council of the City of Ely,
Minnesota, in regular session on
March S, 1929, that they favor, urge
and ask that bill be drafted and en-
acted amending the required sections
of the present laws relative to the
Municipal Court at Ely so that the
salary of the regular Municipal Judge
thereof be raised from $4,000 per
10 n ND Iof
the salary of the Special Judge of
the same court receive 500 per day
for each day that he sets in court
with the same proviso as in the for
mer laws, that he never receive more
in one month than the amount Of the
regular Judges salary, and
It Is Further Resolved, that 1t Is
the sense of this council that copy
of this resolution be sent to each Of
the Legislators from this District &C
companied by an urgent request that
such bill be drafted and presented
to the Legislature for approval.
Alderman Kapsch who offered the
foregoing resolution thereupon moved

Alderman Tauzell, and upon being put
to vote was adopted by unanimous
vote as follows:
Ayes: Aldermen Olson, Tauzell, Ban
ovetz, Veranth, Homer, Kapsch, May

Gil to employ one special police OFF,
Ger for the months of March and

that the council approve Of the ap-
pointment of one special police officer
for the period stated. Carried.
