"Thls is not a new principal

While approving the pay raises

ranks are inadequate tr. attract a

The Commissioners recommen-
dationS, the result Of a study Of
the bill made by District Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan, are embodied
in letters sent to Senator Arthur
Capper and Representative Fred
N. Zihlman.
$500 for Superintendent
The salary of $500 provided
in the bill for the superintendent
of police, Donovan believes, should
be cut to 5000. Other decreases
advocated, are: $4,000 instead Of
$500 for assistant police super
intendents and $4,000 instead Of
$4,5OO for inspectors.
The recommendation approves
other police salaries proposed.
captains. $4,000; lieutenants,
$3,O50; and sergeantS. $?,750.
Cut Chiefs Salary
Under the Donovan plan the
chief engineer of the fire depart
ment and several other officers
would receive lower salaries than
those proposed in the bill.
The chief engineer would re
ceive $4,000 instead Of $500,
deputy chiefs $1,000 rather thar
$500, and battalion chiefs $4,000
instead of $4,000. The amended
plan suggests $4,75O instead Of
$500 for the fire marshal and
q similar salary for the Superin-
