A large | chunk 'of the concrete base was knocked out and the iron covered pro- tection to the lighting apparatus was also somewhat bent.

PAY {Alderman Dehm and OCouncilman Rice Take Initiative Against Re- ported Plan of Oity Dept. Should any move be made on the part of the salary commitiee to re- duce the wages of Street Superinten- dent Joseph Scheidel in connection iwith the creation of a new position in the pubMe works department, strong opposition is likely to ulse in the common council. The board | of public works was authorized by | the common council at its session Wednesday evening to appoint a general superintendent with a salary of $2,600, the appointment to be ef- fective April 1. In that connection | it was announced that one draftsman jwould be dropped from the depafrt- 1 | ment’s payroll and his salary of $2,000 be given over to the new posi- tion. The appointee, Charles B. Cadwell, is to be retained as a mem- ber of the commission and his stipend for that service of $200 will be added to the draftsman’s pay. The remainder of the salary, it was explained, is to be made up by re- ducing the pay of Superintendent Scheidel. Since he now receives a salary of $2,000, the reduction nec- essary to make up the difference would effect a decrease to $1,700 per annum. Alderman C. J. Dehm and Council- man Henry Rice, both of whom are first ward vepresentatives in the council, have openly disputed the Jjustice of cutting the pay of Supt. Scheidel and announce that they will oppose the measure if it comes be- fore the council for action.
