Largest Amounts
For Heads of
Departments
Ableson Only One
to Register
Objection

Virtually every city employe will
receive a salary increase during the
next fiscal year as result of action
taken Monday evening by city coun-
Gil on recommendation OF the salary
committee. With only John Ableson,
alderman Of ward three, voting
against the sweeping salary In

get. Only protest from other alder
men was that department heads
received greater increases than
those who worked under them.
Members OF the salary committee
explained that the increases are
due to advanced cost Of living.
The largest individual increase
was given T. Fred Older. manager
OF public utilities. whose duties are
expected to be increased by city
expansion. Last year he received
$500 a month and an allowance OF
$50 for his car. Next year his salary
will be 1925 a month and he will be
allowed s35 for use OF his car. Hsr-
vsy c. Holmes. city clerk, who re-
ceived $205 a month last year will
receive S225 next year. 1t was point
ed out that neither man had asked
for an increase and that both had
been omitted from salary advances
in previous years.
Miss Elizabeth Fenker, deputy
clerk, received an advance of from
$3.50 to $40 a month; Miss Magda-
len Blum, bookkeeper in the clerks
office, from s120 to $3.50 a month;
Miss Roberta Van Voorhees,, clerk.
