He pointed out that the work of the office took up a large amount of time and that there was no city in the state that paid as small a salary as is paid by Bemidji. He stated that during the past year over twice the sal- ary of the attorney was saved by sev- eral court actions. Upon a vote of the council it was decided to leave the salary the same as last year. Treasurer’s Salary Reduced. The only other change in the sal- aries is that of the city treasurer. The city treasurer formerly received $35 a month and the bond was paid by the city. This year the ecity treasurer’s salary is raised to $40 a month but he must secure his own bond. The cost of a bond per year is about $80, so under the new sal- ary the city treasurer will receive $20 less than last year. Judge Gets $1,300. The salaries of the city officers are as follows: Judge of the municipal court, $1,300 per year; clerk of the municipal court, $30 per month; city attorney, $70 per month; city treas- urer, $40 per month, city clerk, $100 per month; janitress of dormitory, $10 per month; drivers of motor truck and janitors, $75 per month; chief of police, $80 per month; patrolmen, $70 per month; city en- gineer and street commissioner, $100 per month; water clerk, $65 per month; librarian, $40 per janitor of library, $15 per month; city assessor, $500 per year; health officer subject to bids; boarding pau- pers subject to bids. Runners for Truck. Alderman Miller showed members of the council plans for sleigh run- ners for the front wheels of the fire motor truck. .He explained that the truck could not be run now on ac- count of deep snow; that a team was being hired at the cost of $35 per month and that it costs one dollar a day to feed the team, making a total cost of $65. He suggested that the city buy a set of runners for the truck which he estimated would cost about $25. Upon Alderman Mo- month, | ! ' THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER berg’s motion Alderman Miller was instructed to secure such runners for the motor truck. May Build Bridge. A resolution was passed to be pre- cented to the board of county com- missioners requesting a return of tax levy under a provision of the Dunn law, the fund to be used for the con- struction of a bridge across the in- let of the Mississippi on the road to Nymore. The amount to be return- cd will be about $5,000.

Another Wonderful Recafiry From Kidney Trouble For nearly nine years I was a great sufferer from what my doctor said was Kidney trouble and my blood was out of order; enduring all that time excruciating pain in my back and across my bowels. I was drawn down so that I could only walk with my hands on my knees. My doctor said he could do nothing for me. I tried many kinds of medicine but all to no avail. A friend told me about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and as I had tried everything else that I heard of, I bought a bottle of Swamp-Root and it did wonders for me. I prize it higher than any other medicine and I shall recommend it to my friends. I wish to add right here months I began to straighten up and am now sound and well, and feel like I might live a long time yet to tell what your medicine has done for me. Yours very truly, T. C.
