Tt proved | & a deep and dark mystery which the usual alert and efficient minds of the committee members were unable to | colve. At the last meeting of the lary committee when the final rec- ommendations for salaries were pre- | pared it was learned t there were | es asked for two members of ty board. These in s | were for $200. The increases asked for | raises from $1,000 to $1,200 and from 00 to $1,000. The mystery then developed for it was stated by the chairman that these two officials were receiving these amounts already. How they were being paid $200 beyond iheir regular salaries has not been found out yet. The chairman stated #t ho would investigate the matter secretary, | Put his report has not as yet been | hieard, One member of the committee Reprosentative Hall, asked how it was that the city comptroller paid the money without the proper permission. Mr. Hall remarked that Comptroller Curtis was very careful in the matter of paying city salaries and he did not see how that item escaped his notice. Asked by Mr. Hall if the common council was opposed to increasing salaries, Alderman Paonessa answerod for himself that he was not opposed when the city had the person of the right caliber and worth. He expressed | | the sentiments of the other council | o members present. Alderman Curt mentioned the matter of the nurse employed at the town home to care | for the city's poor. Her ry is $480. The entire committee laughed when they heard the salary paid, for it was | understood that she is a professional | nurse. The committee was of the opinion that the salary was small for a person having a profession. The matter of the money befng paid will he brought up at the next meeting. Assessors arc Discnssed. The next matter discussed was re- ! garding the Teduction of the number of assessors from three to two.
