Tvery- 2PNad increased §5 at least, he said. Fireman John Connolly also spoke in favor of the increase. "On motion of Mr. Beloin the po- licemen were given a hearing. Chair- man P. F. King of the police com- mission spoke first and read the fol- lowing table of salaries d else- where: Hartford, first year men, $3.02 1-2 per day; second year, ; third year, $3.57 1-2; fourth year, §3.85. It is this wage that the local men sought. New Haven's com- parative figures are $3, $3.25; $3.50 5, while Waterbury. the ond and third year men get $3.50 and $3.75 respectively nd in Meriden the rate is $3, $3. and $3.57. He also asked for the creation of the office of police licu- tenant and recommended the follow ing wages for officials: Sergeants, $1,595; lieutenant, $1,760; captair 1,870; chief, $2,200. In Waterbur and Hartford these comparat wages are $1,560, $1,642, $1,733 and $3,000 and $1,815, $1,980, §2,475 and 1300 respectively. Officer Clarence Lamphere, speak- ing for the increase, said that the cost of wuniforms had increased double over what it was a few vears ago, while Officer H. C. Lyon said that it now costs twice as much to have a pair of shoes soled than it did. Sergeant W. C. Hart spoke in favor of the increase and so did Of- ficer William O’Mara. Chief W. J. Rawlings, who was also present, spoke in favor of his own increase as well as the others. He praised the police department and said that it is second to none. In his argument { for more money for officers and men he called attention to the the purchasing power of only half o what it w To a ques n from Mr. Beloin, Chairman King said his board ex- veets to ask for two new policemen this vear. Mr. Sullivan asked hin if the board intended to promote a man to the position of lieutenant. On being assured that such w the in- tention he remarked that it “has been the custom to take of police.” Woods Tells What He Does. Assistant Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods was next given a Said Mr. Woods: “I feel it is I asked for a raise and T feel entitled to it for various This is a city of 60,000 people we have to deal with all kinds people and all kinds of crime. The office of assistant prosecuting attor- ney is not an office where one makes friends, but enemies, and ofttimes a man has to do his duty and prose- cute people he has known for vears, or even friends of his. Also, the po- sition is not one that brin I am and of and I am disbarred from practising in the police court or in inal court where cases are continued or appealed The two heaviest months of the r are July and August and Mr. Klett alternates be- tween these two for his each year. I prosecuted 293 cases in August last year and nearly 40 on cne Monday. We began at 8:30 o'clock and continued through until 1:45 p. m without five minutes stop. During the rest of the year I am on the jump all of the time. When Mr. Klett is out of town the respon- sibility of the whole of the police de- partment rests on the assistant pros- ecutor. He Investigates hundreds of cases. During the last week of July I had almost 100 cases. During the year the assistant is called into court to prosecute from time to time in the morning and when Mr. Klett has cases in Hartford or has business elsewhere which compels him to leave the city T to do the work.

Clerk Emmett is a very car an whese duties are long and who i very efficient and he should get an in- creaso from §1,200 to $1,600, Mr. Humphrey said. He also explained | the work being done by other engi- neers employed by the hoard and the spoke a word in favor of inc the salary of the stenographer board of public works office. She has been long in that office and is ded as cfficient. Althoug board did not see fit to allow her all she asked, Mr. Humphrey thought she was entitled to receive a wage simi- lar to that paid other stenographers in the private corporations and was what the hoard recommended. At the urgent request of Mr. Sulli- van Mr. Humphrey spoke of his own work, but said the petition for an in- crease of from $200 to $500 was not at his solicitation. He did not seek it for himself, he said, but thought that whoever succecds him will earn that money. Mr. Sullivan asked him just what his duties are as laid down by the chavter and much cussion en- sued, during which Mr. Humphrey quoted: “and he shall personail so far as possible” * * work is “That puts me,” Mr. Humphrey ing why he goes about the city to personally inspect work done. Com- missioner J. A. Downes spoke & word in favor of the board of public works employes and said Mr. Humphrey should get the raise asked ‘not so much for the money in it as for a testimonial to his ability.” Chairman August Burkhardt of the board of assessors spoke words praise for the clerk in his office and is is in- ¢ sce, done. it up to | work and that of the other two asses- who are part time men but al- ays subject to call.
