part of council and departmental
heads. 1t was deemed wise to
take the city out of the rut into
which it had been forced by the
depression era.
In declaring the salary increases.
councilmen declared they were
guided by the length of the time
the employe had been in city en-
ployment and the value of the
individual to the city. Those who
received salary raises were to be
told they would remain in effect
as long as the particular depart
mental expenses did not increase
and the efficiency continues to
increase. There was no genera.
blanket percentage for the IN
creaSeS.
The general fund entries on the
budget include the following: adj
ministration salaries. $l0,310; adj
ministrative office salaries and eX-
penSes, $4,500; administration sup
plies, $3.50; general expenses, $4,-

demption and interest 500, ,439 25; ;
police department, $35 ,26250; health
department, $12,835. The total for
the general fur,i, $77,074,25.
Departmental expenses were as
follows: street department, $50, AS;
sewer department, $10,115; fire de-
partment, $24,893; water depart
ment, $45, 5,290; park department,

P. Palmer, Roy Dupont, T. J. Har-
riS, w. S. Heating, R. r. Voyles,

made possible because an addition
al patrolman was not appointed to
take the place left vacant by the
resignation of Ben Cox several
months ago and by increased eff
cheney, according to Police Com
missioner Gordon Scriven.
Fire department salaries were as
follows: Fire Chief Tom ReamS
S210; Jersey Birchfield and c. c.
Ferguson, $3.50 each; Clyde Lott

came to town with Democratic in

polish off his Indiana University law
course with postgraduate work at
Georgetown University.
They had no idea that when his
course was completed he would re-
