NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH §, 1922, e TAX RATE OF 20 MILLS ADOPTED (Continued From First Page). them, we can take up that question ,Whenever the necessity arrives, I hope it will never arise, ' Adjustment lor Teachers. “Tt Is sald that the teachers can- not be cut; that they are working under contract, All right, the teach- ers up to recent years were not prop- erly paid, so it will be possible for the city to continue them along for 4wo months at the present scale and !h!‘h‘ adjust. I am certain that the 8chool board will be agreeable to an adjustment. “In the interests of both the city and the employes, 1 ecarnestly hope that this body will go on record as tavoring a 20 mill tax.” Chamberlain In Favor, President 1. 8. Chamberlain of the board of finance and taxation, spoke & few words in support of the Hart amendment. He afsured that there was not grave danger of losing the services of teachers through cutting, since similar reductions will be made throughout the country. 'The State of Connecticut will find it necessary to do so, he asserted, and cities and towns must pare expenditures close- ly or break their backs with taxes, The next speaker was George A. Quigley, three times mayor of the city and now a candidate for the re- publican nomination.

Yet, 1 do not feel that we should act on the salary question; this is not the proper place to consider it. Teach- crg’ salaries are entirely in the hands of the school board; general salaries, police and fire, are up to the com- mon council, and this is not the place for a settlement of wages. Scores Manufacturers. “Mr. Hart has taken up the ques- tion of wages. He says it has taken too much time, that a big corpora- tion would have disposed of it in half an hour. Perhaps 50, but thank God, all big“employers of labor are not manufacturers! If the manufactur- ers hadn’t issued so much watered stock and cut so many fat melons, we would have prosperity today! Police Not Overpaid. “Surely the police are not over- paid. The policeman must be both efficient and honest. Pay him enough and he will be honest; give him the proper working hours and conditions and he'll be efficient. It's easy enough for the manufacturers to talk of pay cuts. They can reduce the wages of their employes and turn them into the street, then we pay for them through our charity depart- ment.

Teachers Also. “Regarding the teachers: New DBrit- ain has a fine system and an excelient staff of efficient instructors. If we reduce salaries of teachers, other cit- jes and town will be bidding against us and the efficiency of the school system will be endangered. Sees No Need For Cut. “There is no immediate need for 2 cut. There has not been a proper study of the wage situation. 1 do not question that some of the em- ployes could be cut 40 per cent., some should be increased, and some should be dropped entirely. However, 1 feel that this amendment cannot properly come before the City Meeting board.” Councilman Hart then introduced an opinion from former corporation counsel, Judge James E. Cooper, stat- ing that the action of the City Meet- departments to adjust wages, and was in favor of a complete settlement by | the board. He pointed out that the| salary committee had madg just such a suggestion to the departments sev- eral months ago, but that it w: ductive of no action. The councilman went on record as unqualifiedly op- posed to a cut.

He charged that the manufacturers had cut their help, and have now come to the city to cut the wages of municipal employes so that this may serve as an argument for putting further cuts into effect. Gill Just a Rentpayer Alderman John F. Gill, introduced himself to the body as a “common or- dinary rentpayer.” He credited him- self with nerve for opposing the cuts when they are favored by the “big men,” yet he felt he had adopted the proper stand. Discussing at length the conditions of business, Alderman asserted that there would not he so many merchants going to the wall if the manufacturers had continued a decent wage for their employes, Gill Quotes Scripture “Councilman Hart approached me the other night and told me 1 was ignorant,” Alderman Giln stated. “Perhaps T am.
