The reports were adopted, as were six others which have already been published.
 Alderman J. Gustave Johnson. chairman Of the ordinance commit tee, had the committees report relative to restricting the sale and use Of fireworks and firearms after January l, referred back 10 the committee. Councilman Boyle asked the reason for referring it hack and the alderman replied that it needed rewriting and "better teeth" to which Councilman Boyle rejoined that the wording Of the proposed ordinance was such that he had his doubts Of the probability of it's be- ing upheld by a court.
 salary Raises Rejected
 When the joint report Of the ordi- nance and salary committees recom- , Deputy Building Inspector Thomas B. Fay and Assistant Clerk Mae But Ter Of the building department was presented. an amendment was pre- sented, bearing rhe signatures of AL derman Johnson and Alderman Jo- seph Mlynarski, chairman of the sal ary committee. The amendment. which was adopted, placed the two positions on the general salary list and left the salaries a s35 and SIS per week respectively instead of in creasing them to $375O and s2O.
 Alderman Johnson said it was con- trary to the practice of the common council to vote salary raises except at the January meeting, and also the depressed condition of the times should be taken into consideration. Councilman Boyle wanted 10 know how 1t happened that the two con- mittees recommended the increases. and Alderman Johnson replied that Alderman Mlynarski was not present when the salary committee met, and "a few members voted the in creases." The ordinance committee had nothing to do with recommend ing the amount of salaries to be paid, Alderman ohnson explained. the function Of the committee be- ing merely 10 create the positions by ordinance.
 Councilman Folmbcrg said he was named acting chairman of the salary committee at the meeting, and the members present were guided by the recommendation of the building de- pertinent representatives Mayor Quigley remarked that persons hay ing jobs should be thankful to keep them without having their salaries increased" On the vote to adopt the ,mepdnent renort Coupcilnpen Nal
