Predicts Flood of Petitions, Councilman BEichstaedt, for the sal- ary committee, said that the present salary ordinance was made so it would be impossible to recommend changes when requests are not made at the January meeting. He said he did not think the council has the moral right to violate this ordinance and if it is overruled the council will be flooded with requests for more pay, he predicted. Councilman Landers moved that the salary ordinance be repealed. Mr. Landers was out of order and # was ruled that the sal- ary committee had not presented a genuine report, since it was verbal. Mr. Eichstaedt then. presented the resolutions to increase the corpora- tion counsel’s salary $600 and that a $100 increass each be granted to the deputy eity clerk and the. clerk: lution was then tabled temporarily.

Butchers Object to Contracts. Myer Dunn, Edward Dunn, A. Sher- man, I Steele and H. Maxen, peti- tions, representing the New Britain cattle dealers, asked that the con- tracts for buying hides at the mu- nicipal slaughter house be awarded to the East Side Hide and Tallow company of Hartford. :Referred to the health board. In this connection the health board asked permission to grant the contract to Nathan Cohen of Ansonia. Mr. Cohen’s contract calls for a payment ¢f $200 per vear 10 the health board. It also provides that the Ansonia man do.the janitor service at the slaughter house. Su- perintendent T. E. Reeks presented & new and more satisfactory contract with Mr. Cohen, giving' the city the right to end the contract with a sixty days’ notice. Alderman Paonessa questioned the financial /stability of Mr. Cohen and said hé thought the contract ought to be granted to the Hartford firm. Further debate was cut off when Councilman Curtis moved that the health board be per- mitted to enter into this contract if it sees fit. On the other hand, the board can change its mind and recom- mend another contract if it .so desires. r. Paonessa said he would like ‘to insist on a surety bond and this reso- lution was passed. The garbage col- lection contract was awarded to Swanson Brothers for $5,600 per year. Swanson Brothers will post a surety bond of $5,600. The Health board’s proposed ordinance to prevent chil- dren from digging in public dumps was adopted. The council also recommended an ordinance giving the park commis- sion the right to care for the new south end park. ‘The council voted to award the street sprinkling contract to the H. R. Walker company. The rate is the same as last summer, A petition from Emil Hagist et al. for the rebuilding of the Monroe street sewer west from . Madison to Linwood was referred to ‘the board of public works. So was a petition to spend $600 for the grading of New- ington avenue from East ta Chapman streets. Increase for Dr. T. E. Reeks. Alderman V. B, Chamberlain intro- duced a resolution to increase Dr. T. E. Reeks’ salary as superintendent of health from $2,500 to $3,500, The council members united in praising the work of Dr. Reeks. This matter was temporarily tabled for considera- tian later, as was a petition from Al- derman Jester et al., to increase the salary of the city comptroller from $1,000 to $1,200. It was explained that the work has increased one-third in the last few years. i . Curtis Opposes Salary Grah, " ‘ Councilman Curtis said. therg - ‘are lmemy good officials who deserve {salary raises, but he thinks the city ought to go slow. He said that the salary list shows salaries only of $58,000, when in reality it totals about $90,000. This is because in several boards the salaries come out of the appropriations. Mr. Curtis said salaries should be fixed according to the value of the office but not accord- ing to the individual. When it was suggested to make the building in- spector’s salary $2,500 instead of $800 and ‘the inspector devote his entire time, Mr. Curtis said that in Bridge- port | the building inspector gets $2,000 and has much more work to do. He said that in New Haven the building inspector gets $2,500. An- other statement of Mr, Curtis’ was that in the last three years the city has increased individual officials’ salaries $15,000 and it is time to stop and go slow. The third warder dis- claimed any personal feelings in the matter, but said he {8 thinking of the best interests of the city. He did not think, he admitted that he has acted wisely in favoring some previous salary increases, The time to &top this salary grab is now, Mr. Curtis sald. Building Inspector to Get $2,500: On motion af Councilman Landers the council ‘recessed for minutes while the salary and ordi- nance committees made up a report on the building inspector. The re- port, as presented by the ordinance committee, provided that the building inspector shall devote his entire time \to the pasition. % Mr. Curtis moved that the ordi- nance be amended sp that the in- spector shall not be connected with, cr interested in, any other business enterprise. The motion was not sec- onded and the ordinance was passed. The salary committee reported a salary for the building inspeector, fix- ing the salary at $2.200 with transe portation. Alderman Albert Ander- son moved to ‘increase the salary to $2,600 without transportation. Mr. Curtis moved that this salary, and all others not in force but now pending, Le held up and referred to a special committee of five men. Councilman McDonough suggested an amend- i ment to the effect that all salaries be taken out of the council’'s hands and placed in the hands of the finance board. It did not meet with favor. Regarding referring the salaries to « special committee of five, Messrs. Spencer, Andrews, Chamberlain and Mueller objected and Mr. Curtis with- drew his- motion. % The question then reverted again to the motion of Alderman Anderson to increase the building inspector’s solary to $2.500. On a yea and nay vote on this the amendment was ac- cepted by a vote of 22 to 5. Those voting “yes” were: Jester, Anderson, ‘May, Falk, Stadler, Chamberlain, Mc- Cabe, : Olson, Odenkirchen, Paonessa, |. Gould, Dehm, Steiper, Tomass {1lverson, Gorback, lar, Wall, - Spencer. MWMI no”™ gy were: fifteen | Curtis, Landers, Owsiak, and Eichstaedt. . A resolutiod by Mr. Andrews for the city to spend $1,200 in the July 4 celebration at Walnut Hill park was tabled for investigation. A reso- lution from Alderman McCabe to in- crease the salary of the chairman of the water board from $1,000 to $1,- 200 was temporarily tabled for sub- sequent action. Would Pay Councilmen Too. The salary committee reported that for moral reasons the salary increases should not be allowed. It was tabled. Councilman Curtis, who had stren- uously opposed al salary raises, in- troduced a resolution, sarcastically, providing a salary of $500 for ‘all councilmen.. It provoked a general laugh, but Mayor Quigley rapped for order, complaining that the members were making a farce of the council. The member had already done that themselves by the aptitude for boost- ing splaries, some member remarked in a stage whisper. Cooper Gets But $2,700. Taking up the previously tabled salaries it was voted to raise the sal- ary of the assessors’ clerk from $750 to $850. It was also voted to in- crease the salary of the deputy city clerk from $1,200 to $1,300. The plan to raise the corporation counsel’s sal- ary to $3,000 from $2,400 met with instant opposition. Councilman Cur- tis moved to amend the recommen- dation, making the salary $2,700, an increase of 121 per cent. Alderman Paonessa seconded the motion. Coun- cilman Landers argued for the $3,000 salary as did Alderman Jester. Coun- cilman Dehm ‘opposed the raise strenuously. “When a man draws up an ordinance and don’t know what he does I don’t think he's worth mach,” the first warden said. On a vote for the $2,700 amendment the measure was carried by a vote of 14 to 13. Those voting “yes” were An- derson, Stadler, McCabe, Gould, Dehm, Steiner, Iverson, Spencer, Cur- tis, Richards, Olson, Owsiak, McDon- ough and Tomasczwak. Those vot- ing “no” were Jester, Chamberlain, Paonessa, May, Eichstaedt, Folk, Mueller, Andrews, Wall, Odenkirchen, Merriman, Landers and Gorbach. It was then voted that Judge Cooper’s salary will .be $2,700 and not $3,000 as recommended by the salary com- mittee, or $3,400 as recommended in a previously received petition. Councilman Curtis moved that in- stead of increasing Prosecuting At- torney G. W. Klett's salary to $2,000, as previously voted, the council cut the salary down to $1,800. His plan was not considered and it was voted to maintain the salary at $2,000 and all other previously reported raises were also passed.
