Cduncilman King asked if he knew how much time the chief spends at the firehouse or if the chief sleeps at his own home dur- ing any specified time. Commission- er Kranowitz answered In the nega- tive. Satisfied By Chief. The commissioner stated that the board is well satisfled with #he man- agement of the department under the direction of the chief and if there are any storfes to the effect that, the de- partment is deteriorating in any way the board has yet to hear of it. The board does not favor any change in the salaries of any others in the de- partment. He state@ that the board did not care to discuss the two-pla- toon system at the present time, but the members of the board are abso- lutely opposed to any reduction in the pay of the firemen. Asked concerning the pay to the chairman of the board, Commissioner Kranowitz stated that the board feels that the chairman earns his money, Police Commission. Chairman P. F. Kifig of the board of police commissioners stated that the board has studied the salary ques- tion' and although they members re- alize the fact that there is not as much money being paid for wages now as there has been, the board does not think that the present time is propitious for any reduction in the pay of the policemen. He stated this, he said, because he:was not unmind- ful of the fact that the pay could not be expected to always be as mgh as it is now, but on the other hand the board had taken into consideration that the officers on the force had been willing to work for low pay when the pay in other lines of busi- ness was very high. In many in- stances, he said, the officers had lost money by staying on the force, and from government statistics, it was dis- covered that the pay of the police- men ‘had not increased according to the scale of the cost of living. Does Not Favor Reduction He, himself had told some of the officers that the police department would be a good place to be on when the wages were being reduced, and tor this reason; he does not like to grasp at .the, wvery .#rst .opportunity which presents itself to reduce the pay of the department. Commis- sloner Stephen Robb briefly supple- mented the remarks of, Chairman King. i 4 Board Of Public Works Chairman E. N. Humphrey of the hoard of public works stated that in the opinion of the board, the em- ployes in that department were not overpaid. On the other hand, the board recommends an Increase of $500 for the city engineer or an in- crease from $3,500 to $4,000. The place he now occupies and the work he is doing could not he filled for less than $6,000 or $7,000. Raise For Engincer The man who held the position of city engineer before the present in- cumbent took the job was paid $5,000 and the present engineer had accept- ed the position at the salary of $3,- 500 with the understanding that his salary would be ralsed if he proved that he could illl the bill, Explains Pay For Members When asked why it was that the members of the hoard were paid while the members of the other boards of the city gave their services gratis, Mr. Humphrey stated that the work they were required to do called for much time during the day and the inspections of the streets and sewers ire necessary and cause the members to neglest their other personal duties. When asked if the city could get along with a ge: al manager which position is at present filled hy C. B. Cadwell, Mr. Humphrey replied that Mr. Cadwell is now assisting the pres- ent engineer in work that was former- ly done by the city engineer and the engineer was busy with other matters. City Clerk And Health Depts City Clerk Thompson said that in his opinion the employes in the of- fices should not be reduced but at the same time he had no increases to recommend Dr. I'rank Zwick lL.ce, ct spectively of the he. swered questions re in their departments.
