 For New Crab CannerY

7:30 p. m. by Mayor Dalgity. The councilmen present were A. Sorset. F. c. Hanford, George Sumption and George M. Bidwell with F. Anger man and A. B. Anderson absent.
 Minutes of two meetings held in September were read and approved as read following which Councilman Bidwell rose and made the following statement:
 In regard to raising MT. Wellon's S salary to s195 per month. want to go on record as opposing the same and for the following reasons:
 First, the salary of $175 per month paid him was sufficiently high.
 Second; his salary was set at this figure by the council for one year ending next April
 Third his salary does not come within the scope of the NRA as he is receiving more than $35 per week.
 Fourth: there is no good reason for raising his salary now, when the city is in such an embarrassed fi- nancial condition.
 'I therefore make a motion to re- consider and cancel the raise made to him and leave his salary as it was agreed by the council for one year,
 His motion te have the matter re- considered was lost as no second was forthcoming.
 Tax Penalties
 Ole Gunderson who was present at the meeting entered a protest against the penalty imposed upon him in connection with the payment of his taxes. He stated that he was out of town when the taxes became due and that it would have cost him $15 to come to town to pay them. When this protest came up for dis eussion before the end of the meet ing. that part of the tax erdinanee was read by the clerk in explanation that the Council could not discrimin- ate in favor of anyone and that the refund of this penalty was not possible
