Nio person is left in charge of the | blayground and the gates are left cpen to the public at all hours of the day and night, the petition said. The petitioners asked that proper persons be provided to regulate the use of the playground and that it be not left onen to the public except under proper supervision. Injunction Is Threatened. Attached to the petition was a communication from Judge F. B. Hun- gerford, counsel for the petitioners, asking that the councii take action. He said the signers of the petition would seek an injunction unless some proper method of conducting the play- ground is found. The communications were referred to the board of public safety and the public amusement commission. The report of the board of finance and taxation regarding appropria- tions for 1915-16 was laid on the table for a week in accordance with a char- ter requirement. Squabble Over Salaries. When the report of the salary com- mittee regarding increases for the assistants in the office of the city engineer came up Alderman Marwick spoke against it. There was no ob- jection to the raise of Carl Hagist, first assistant, from $720 to $900 per year but he thought John Dunn, the second assistant, should be increased from $420 to $600 instead of to $480 per vear. Alderman Parker, chairman of the salary committee, remarked that he understood the assistants were work- ing as apprenticés and were in reality learning a trade which in itself was of great benefit to them. If they are working as helpers he believed they should receive a laborer’s pay, $12 per week. Councilman Paonessa, a member of the salary committee, was against an increase from $420 to $600. On suggestion - of Councilman Chamberlain, City Engineer Hall was heard from and he said he was in favor of the rgises and thought David Ellison, the third assistant, should receive at least $45 per month, A yea and nay vote on Dunn’s crease to $600 was lost, 15 to 13. Alderman Jester moved that Dunn be increased form $420 to $540 per yvear. Councilman Coyle called for a yea and nay vote and it was car- ried unanimously. Ellison’s salary was established $480. in- at O’Brien’s Increase Passed. A resolution was presented calling for an increase in salary of Assistant Sanitary Inspector John O’'Brien from $780 to $900. By a peculiar coincidence the vote was 14 to 14 and it was again up to Mayor Quigley to break the tie on this same matter. He voted in favor of the increase and it was carried, 15 to 14. Change in Building Code. There was lots of oratory on a pro- posed amendment to the ordinances which would prohibit the construc- tion of the cellar of a house so that the under part of a sill should be less than two feet above the contact grade. Alderman Lawyer wanted it made one foot and Alderman Parker eighteen inches. Building Inspector A. N. Ruth- erford explained that the purpose of the measure was to prevent unfit and damp, cellars. The amendment as orig- inally offered was carried. Alderman Lawyer as a last resort vanted it reported back to the ordi- nance committee and Councilman Paonessa complained that he could not hear Alderman Lawyer's speech. The latter's nmewest suggestion was buried, he being all alone in voting for it. Inspector Rutherford was called on to explain an amendment to the building ordinances regarding the construction of ceilings and walls in stores as explained in yesterday's Herald. He said the more up-to-date construction was suggested to prevent the spread of flames in case of fire. One of the requirements was that no wainscoating be more than five feet in height and Councilman Chamber- lain haad i amended to specify a | wooden wainscoating. On suggestion of Corporation Counsel Cooper a further regulation was added, viz. that all wainscoating shall ha\'easub: stantial fire stop behind it. Alderman Jester registered his dis- npnr_n\'al of an amendment that would | Feaulre work ‘to be “started , within { three months on all Dbuildings for which permits were issued, He wz\m;ed it made six months, but the threé months regulation was carried. The City Court. The special committee appointed to draft rules and regulations for a city court presented a majority and ] nority report, 4 Councilman Danberg explained that the main difference is that the ma- jori‘ty report favors having the judge, assistant judge and clerk of police lcourt act’ in those respective ca- pacities in the city court. Present System Loose, : Judge Cooper said he did not an- ticipate a minority report and would be pleased to hear from Judge Hun- gerford. The latter said there had been for a long time a combined po- lice and city court, the latter having Jjurisdiction in civil causes from $100 tc $500. This city court has fallen into disuse and.it has not been en- mi- any stomach mis- this minyte, and rid h trouble and indi- couraged by the judge of the police court. Justice cases of $100 or less ‘have been heard by justices of the peace, between forty -and fifty month and ten. or fifteen coming to “TIZ” FOR SORE, TIRED FEET---AH! “rI1Z” is grand for aching, swollen, sweaty, salloused Feet or corns.

The pay, $2 per day, is poor and none of the' justices is enthusiastic about presiding. the same officials for the police and city court, he said. The judge of po- lice court receives $1,500, and it proposed to make his salary $2,500. An increase from. $600 to $1,000 is also proposed for the assistant judge and these, with increased salaries for the clerk and assistant clerk, would bring increases in salaries up $2,000 a year. In all it would be a cum- bersome system, Judge Hungerford said. Under the minority report, the speaker said, the only official would be a judge at $100 a month. thought this would suffice, as, if a clerk were needed the judge could engage his own stenographer and pay her from 'his salary. Would Play Second Fiddle. Judge Hungerford did not think that it followed that a good criminal judge would be a good civil judge. The police court would take pre- cedence over the civil court because of @he greater business and no civil cases could be tried in the morning. Th would work a hardship on the principals and witnesses in tne civil cases, he id. He did not expect a judge under his plan would be re- quired to devote his entire time to the civil court, but would give it his preference. Councilman Landers wanted to known how the lawyers stood on the proposition and Judgé Hungerford re- plied that most of the lawyers with whom he had talked favored the mi- nority report. “When lawyers can’t agree it's hard on the council,” remarked Mayor Quigley. Corporation Counsel Cooper. “Lawyers never agree on anything,” replied Corporation Counsel Cooper. He continued by saying that he was satisfied that either plan would ac- complish the purpose of the move- ment in favor of doing away with justices’ courts, to dignify the court in small cases. The reason he fa- vored the majority report was because Judge Meskill of the police court is able and has the esteem of the com- munity. Another point is that the machinery of the civil court as rep- WHY CHILLY WEATHER BRINGS RHEUMATISM Says Skin Pores Acid Remains in Blood.

Councilman Danberg described the present system of justices’ cases as “utterly rotten,” and he urged that some action be taken. Councilman Landers asked Cooper what he thought of Hungerford’'s objection, that cases would suffer because of pres- | sure of police court business. Judge Cooper replied that it was not a se- rious objection as on the majority of days the police court sessions are short and would not interfere with civil cases. i Alderman Parker was of the opinion that it was pushing the coun- cil hard to ask it to take immediate action it would return only about $300 in fees to the city.

The report of the board of compen- sation on the Putnam street sewer was tabled until the next meeting for further information. Alderman Shine believes someone is blocking the de- velopment of the street. 4 Counell-Won’t Reconsider. Councilman Landers moved that the council reconsider its action of the :last meeting when on his initiative | it was decided not to change the num- | ber of asses S.. He said he had heard from rious sources that the minority “put something over” on the majori and he did not wish to be { regarded in that light.

It was doubtful whether the chemist would do all city work, including making analysis of city wa- ter for the water department, .and the matter was referred back to the ordinance committee, Again. ordinances was Public Market Wanted. Councilman Landers urged by res- olution that the mayor appoint a com- mittee of three to consider the es- tablishment of a public market by the mayor. It was adopted. No Permanent Plumbing Inspector. Councilman Landers brought up the ‘matter of creating the office of a per- manent plumbing inspector at $1,200 per year and he expressed approval of the idea. The salary committee has already fixed the salary and this report was takén from the table. Alderman Parker moved that the { recommendation be adopted and re. | ferred to the ordinance committee. Councilman Chamberlain inquired whether a competent man could be engaged at $1,200 a year and Su- perintendent Reeks of the health de- partment replied in the affirmative. On a yea and nay vote the report was rejected, 20 to 5. New Walks Ordered.

Seek Damages for Injuries. Judge W. I cation, asked the committee Mangan, by communi- the council to refer to on claims the case of his client, Mrs. Mary E. Barrows, who, it is said, was injured by a fall on an ice walk this winter. Formal notice of her injury was served on the coun- cil on January 4.
