COUNCIL MEETING Several Aggrieved Officials May Ap- peal From Decislons of Salary Commiittee—After Raise Agaln. The council meeting of Wednesday night should furnish much excitement from the continuours buzz of comment going on in the city building at the present time. The last meeting of the salary commiittee of the common council wil be held this evening and tomorrow may see some of the mem- bers of the comirittee with several more enemies. There are many peo- ple who believe that the salaries of the city employes should not be placed upon a level basls but should be placed upon the basis of efficiency and merit If one clcrk does three times the work of another clerk the hard working clerk is entitled to more money. This seems to be the thought of the employees, but the | trouble which would develop would be that each employe would think his or her work was the more efficient and meritorious, There are several who think that the salary committee has not inquired in detail as to the merits of each case, and that things are belng taken for granted and ac- cepted without the necessary amount of legitimatz investigation.
