New Delay in

New delay in revision OF the city
tax roll was encountered Monday
evening when city council reached
a stalemate on reconsideration Of
employment of two field workers

but since then members OF the
council raised the question as to
whether one should be put In
charge OF the field work and given
1925 a month.
The new plan was opposed by
the Salaries committee on the
grounds that It was an unfair in
crease under the city wage scale,
especially since IL was planned to
use a man now employed by the
city for the work.
AS an. impasse was reached
council voted to lay the matter on
the table until the next meeting
when It was hoped more members
would be present.
