CITY TO NAME
5 CLERKS FOR
MERIT BOARD
Council EnactS Ordinances
Creating Positions for
Record Keepers.

The appointment of five clerks,
who will keep the records of the
merit system in the fire and police
departments. is expected in the near
future following enactment by City
Council last night of two ordinances
creating the positions and establish =
ing their salaries.
The ordinances. as introduced
originally, called for four clerks in
each department at salaries of 500
month. After a heated debate III
caucus the ordinance was amended
/ to provide for three clerks in the
police department and two in the
fire department.
An ordinance proposed by Edward
r. Healing. Republican council
member, calling for an increase of
/ Is per cent in the salaries of police
and firemen. effective Jan. /, 1886,
was introduced and supported by
! two speakers. Fred w Baer, Wash
| ington, president of the 1nterna-
/ tional Association of Fire Fighters,
said such an increase had been
granted in many other cities, be-
cause of the great increase in living
costs
ROthermel Urges Increase
Walter c. Rothermel, president Of
the South Side Civic Clubs central
committee, also supported the meas
ure although he said he spoke mere
ly as a citizen and not as an official
representative of his organization.
He advocated the raise because OF
the precariouS position of the police
and flremen's pension funds brought
about, he said, by the lower salaries
in effect in recent years.
The police traffic safety campaign
was aided materially by the passage
of two ordinances, one approprlatlng
$500 for the purchase of 10 new
motorcycles for the police depart
ment, and the other appropriating
$500 for new traffic warning signals
and other improvements which
would assist in safety promotion.
Patrolmen Martin O'Brien and
David Curran we're awarded $4,000
each as a salary settlement in their
reinstatement to the force after
charges against them in an entrap-
ment case had been dismissed by
the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals.
Acting under suspension of the
rules the Council approved contracts
made by the Health Board for the
construction of the Flower Mission
Hospital for tubercular patients.
Park Board Gets $4,000
The Council also authorized the
purchase of parts for new pumper
for the fire department. A truck
will be built from these parts at the
department shops, thus effectlng a
great saving to the city.
Other appropriation ordinances
gave $4,000 to the Park Board to
buy materials to be used on projects
where the board is cooperating
with the FERA, and allocated funds
derived from the state gasoline tax
to the various city departments.
An ordinance was passed, after a
public hearing, restricting River
view-dr, from College-av. to 63rd-st
for single dwellings only.
Several other ordinances were in
troduced, one of them providing for
designating the location of restau-
rants in the City Market.

speaks On q. s. Constitution

Atty Francis S. Doudna was the
speaker at the special chapel pro-
grams held at the Pennsville and
Chesterhill high schools last Thurs
day afternoon, the occasion being to
call special attention to the i'm
portance of the constitution of our
country. The American Legion in
all sections of the United States is
sponsoring the careful study of the
greatest document ever written, and
Malconta Post, "a, has again Sc
Iected Atty Doudna, adjutant Of
the Post, to deliver addresses to
various gatherings of public spirit
ed citizens who are interested in
giving generous publicity to our
constitution. Mr.. Doudna stated
that although about 5000 amend
ments to the U. S. constitution have
been proposed since 1889, only 21
have become a part of that docu-
ment, and one of these 81 has al
ready been repealed; and this fact
alone shows that our constitution
has powerful stability and perma-
nency, to be able to thus endure for
more than 148 years, with only Il
changes.
