CROWLEY BROS., ST, measurements 191 MAIN TEL. 1199 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, YECEMBER 13, 1016, SEEKS MORE SALARY IN PLOMBING DEPT Asks That His Pay Be $1,600 Instead of $1,200 Plumbing Inspect- Thomas Quinlivan that he be granted an increase in salary and transportation fees was favorably re- ceived at the monthly mecting of the health board at 5 Dr. George Bodley recommended that the council be asked to grant the sal- ary increase and Dr. H. T. Bray sec- onded the motion. Others present at the meeting were Chairman H. S. Tal- lard, Dr, Burdette, D. Radcliff, Dr. Arvid Anderson, Dr. T. E. Reeks, Ed- ward P. Burns and Dr. Charles R. Witte, Dr. Reeks read Mr. Quinlivan’s pe- tition for a salary increase as the plumbing inspector was unable to be present himself because of the seri- ous illness of his father-in-law, James ‘Wolfe. Under the present conditions Mr. Quinlivan receives $1,200 per an- num and transportation fees of $300. He requests that his salary be made $1,500 and his expense account be raised to $400. This is what the council salary committee recommend- ed at first, but which the council cut down after some debate. Dr. Reeks explained that Mr. Quinlivan is a par- ticularly efficient man, yet his pre: ent salary is less than that of an ordinary journeyman plumber. Reporting for the plumbing com- mittee, Mr. Burns said that a journey- man’s license had been granted to J. H. McDonald and Raymond €. Mil- ton. Frank Nair and F. A. Shaffer have been granted master plumbers’ licensep and a sewer layers license has been given to Fred Marchoni. Dr. Reeks reported for the slaugh- ter house committee. The building will soon be ready for use. It will cost between $145 and $160 to In- stall electricity and a telephone must also be installed. It was voted have this done. Board Practices Economy. Chairman Tallard explained a plan whereby the board will save the city $750 a year, he said. It would be necessary to hire a man at $15 a week to keep the slaughter house clean and sanitary, Mr. Tallard said, but he has received an advantageous contract from a hide concern which would make this unnecessary. For the privilege of using twenty square feet of city ground near the slaugh- ter house for the purpose of con- structing” a small house where they can place any hides they may pur- chase, they will provide a man to keep the two places clean and san- itary. As this would be covered by a bonded contract the clerk, Dr. Reeoks, was empowered to enter into such a contract if the corporation counsel approved. itor will be engaged.
