Clerk of Asscssors' Board, The resolution Miss Richard clerk of board SEES0 was first considered. the mation of Councilman Covle As- Otto Rengtson and August Burkhardi were given a hearing the matter. Mr. Burkhardt said that a year ago, Miss Richards had sent in a similar petition, but, that owing to the fact that {he assessors also asked for a raise at that time, it was turned dewn. Mr. Burkhardt explained that the clerk of his beard wag very com- petent in performing her duties which are difficult, if not more so, than those attended to hy any other clerks on the floor. He did not think that she was receiving falr compen- sation for such exacting and accurate werk as is required in the assossors’ cffice. He offered to go out and get the office. and of the of as- seszors | there was a brief recess while he did i thoraughly ! board found it | a salary his return he explained what was required of Miss Richards. He told that a male clerk is employed in the Hartford assessors’ office hut. by virtue of the fact that he has a unumber of assistants, his work is lighter than that which Miss Richards performs. Even so, he gets of $1.500, Tt was the opinion of Assessor Otto Bengtson that the petitioner has the most important clerkship in the City hall. He could not remember a single instance in which she has erred dur- ing the eight or nine years she has bheld the position and the petition for an increase was justi- fied. O'Brien’s PPetition for $1.000, Upon the motion of Councilman Conlin, the petitions of the hoard of health were heard before action was taken on Miss Richards® petition. The request of the assistant sanitary inspector for an increase of from $780 to $1.000 was first read, then Health Superintendent T, Reeks was given an opportunity voice his sentiments. Dr. Reeks told that Mr. O'Brien nas been with the health department for four vears and is becoming very valuable to that body. When the new health board began duties he was recelving $12 a week as salary from the health board and $3 a week from the common council for inspecting dumps and doing work of that na- ture when called upon. The new necessary to ask for o, pon E. to ‘ the entire time of this employe, and, | 1y, as a consequence, the council decided that his salary was to be $15 weel- There is some misunderstanding among a number of the council mem- bers, the doctor sald. regarding this ! matter, and some are of the opinion | that | been Mr, raised.

It was his opinion that, il Mr. O'Brien were to resign now, the city would not be abla to zet a man of his experience and ability for less than or $30 a week. It was a case of recognizing efficiency, he felt. H. S Tallard. chairman of the said that it was the unanimous oninion of the board that Mr. O Brien was justified in asking for an increase in pay. ‘hig effort entitled him to reward Councilman Uno Johnson asked Dr. Reeks how many hours Mr, O'Brien put in daily and the doctor replied that the petitioner 1 no regular but worked from about § in the morning nntil & at night, doinz much night work in addition to this.

The matter of ralsing the salary of the plumbing inspector from $800 to | $1,200 in the event of his being re- quired to give up his entire time to | the office, was then considered. Chair- man Fdward Parker explained that the only thing the salary committee | could do would be to recommend the increase in case the inspector’s hours | \vere changed by the proper body. In explaining the request for the $400 increase, Mr. Tallard stated that the work of the plumbing inspector warrants his giving up all his time to it. He felt that the city would profit by making the change because, while the inspector now puts in about four hours daily for two-thirds the amount of the proposed salary, he would then | give more than double that time to the work at proportionately less pa Replying to Councilman Paonessa, who asked if there would be much work for the plumbing ingpector next summer, Mr. Tallard sald that a| close’ scrutiny of numbers of tene- ment houses will be required. Pay Sufficient For Good Man. Alderman Shine brought up the question as to whether the board could get an efficient man as plumb- ing inspector to put in his entire timne | for a salary of $1,200 and received the answer that the board has re- celved numerous applications from plumbers in this city who are con« sldered first-class workmen. Councilman Coyle ventured that the health board must have looked into this detail thoroughly before deciding to ask for the change. He said that. before Dr. Reeks was appointed su- perintendent of health, the majority of the people wondered if a capable man could be secured to fill so re- sponsible a position for $3,500. Tho people of New Britaln are now con- gratulating themselves upon their good fortune in getting so efficlent and consclentious a servant he said. Tt would undoubtedly be a similar case with the plumbing inspector, he thought. It was the opinfon of Councilman Paonessa that a good man could be secured for the salary under consid- eration. Councilman Wagner said fore taking action on the he wanted to be sure that the sum of $1.200 would he sufficient for a man who was to give all his time to the work. He thought the board | ought to guard against a petition for | another raise in about six months or so when the plumbing inspector may have found that he could not afford to work for that figure. Stating that the health bhoard undoubtedly looked at the from all angles before appearing, Councilman Coyle moved that the hearing on the petition be closed. Debate on Clerk’s Salary. Returning to the petition of clerk of the board of assessors, Al.! derman Shine motioned that the in-; crease be granted. Before it could | be put to vote. Councilman Conlin | was upon his feet. He said that there was a question in his mind as to whether this was the proper time ta be recommending an increase for this clerk. He reminded his col- leagues that the charter revision committee is considering changes in, the board of assessors which, e thought, might make some differencc with the duties and subgequent ary of the clerk. He wanted go on record as opposed to the crease at this time. Councilman Coyle sald it question of whether or not Miss Richards deserved a raise and that | the matter should be treated indepen- dent of the charter revision com- mittee. Present Pay Suflicient. Mr. Wagner voiced his objection. saying that, in his opinion, the voung | lady was getting good pay for the work she was doing. He did think her position was one of re- sponsibility as, he said, the asses sors and not the clerk, are respon- sible for the work of thelr board. There are hundreds of school tencl. ers in New Britain who are workine for much less than she sald Mr. Wagner, and they that be- | petition, had matter the sai- to | in- | was a is getting, would | in not INTERIOR DECORATIONS Please be advised that this is work that can be done all through the winter.

Defending his motion, Alderman Shine explained that there was ab- solutely no comparison with the work of school 'teachers and that of the assessors’ clerk. The former, he said, get four months’ vacation each year, work: shorter hours and put in only five days a week. He thought the committee would do well raising the clerk’s salary and sav- ing for the city so capable a ser- vant. Recommend Increase. it was his vote that killed the ition of Miss Richards last year, the sense of a statement made by Councilman Paonessa. At that time, he was opposed to increasing her pay, but since then, he has changed his views, he said. An amendment moved by Council- man Conlin to the effect that the matter be tabled until such time as the charter revision committee has taken action of the proposed change in the board ‘of assessors, was de- feated, and Mr. Shine's motion to rec- ommend the increase was passed. $9000 For Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Coyle then moved that the sanitary inspector's salary be in- creased, as requested. During a sub- sequent debate, Mr. Paonessa stated that he was in sympathy with the motion, adding “It'll be killed in the council anyway. There's no need of our being so spunky about it.” An amendment that the matte be tabled, which was offered by Mr. Wagner, was defeated. following which Mr. Paonessa moved that the committee recommend an increase to $900, and not $§1,000. This amend- ment was passed, Chairman Parker casting his vote to break a tie, City Hall Clerk’'s Salary. The matter concerning the city sal- ary list was then considered The letter which Mayor Quigley received from the chairman of the City hall commission follows in part: “Dear Sir—TI find that the city sal- ary list, which is an ordinance of the common council, does not provide for the $200 salary of the clerk of the City hall commission, This item of salary has. in the past. been handled by tie rendering of a bill by the clerk of the commission and has been passed upon as one of the incidental cxpenses of the same. eems to me that this salary be paid by vote of the council should be part of the records of That pe uality NO PREMIUMS Mabers of the Highest Grade Turkish and Egyptian Oigarettes inthe Nerid ARBOURYI Rug and Drapery Co.

Table Plumbing Inspector's Raise. Upon the motion of Mr. Conlin, the petition regarding the change in the plumbing inspector’'s pay was tabled. Chairman Parker then read Deputy Clerk Hargreaves' petition for an in- crease in salary of from §$1,200 to $1,500. and a recent letter withdraw- ing the same. He explained that, the corporation counsel on the mm-\ since the petition had been present- ed to the board. it would be neces- sary to make a report to the coun- cil. Tt was voted to inform the coun- cil of Mr. Hargreaves' withdrawal. As the last business of the session, Chairman Parker read a communica- tion from Councilman May who. be- ing unable to attend the meeting, wished to go on record as opposed | to all the increases.
