SALARY INGREASES Gowncll Gommittos Sits on Pe- titions From City Workors Attorney Emil J. Danberg, clerk of the eity and police courts, re- quested the commen council com- mittes on salaries at the meeting last evening, to take the necessary staps to place the stenographer in the effice of the court on the regu- lar city payroll at a salary of $1,200 or thereabouts, and reduce his own salary from $2,600 to $2,000, or in- crease his salary to $3,000 and have | him continue to pay the stenogra- pher, He said he had given con- | sideration to the matter of payment | for elerical amsistance and belleved either of the suggested arrangements | would be satisfactory. At present | he pays the stenographer from his | own income, but he seldom gives her | work that does not pertain to the city and police court. In addition to his malary, he recelves fees for naturalization papers and for com- piling reports on police court cases | involving violations of the motor vehicle laws. Judge F. B, Hungerford, speaking | in support of a salary increase for | Mr. Danberg, told the committee the clerk’s office is eonducted very ef- flejently and if the clerk and sten- ographer ‘should leave for other work, it would be well nigh impos- | sible te replace them. He said every | detall of the work of the clerkship | of the court is properly attended to, and the only reason more is not heard of Mr. Danberg is that he is t0o modest to assert his ability. Judge Hungerford gave figures | showing & steady increase in the| number of cases returned to the city | court during the past several years. } In 1937, there were 1,064, exclusive entirely of the police court cases. Counciiman Bamuel Sablotsky en- livened the session while Tax Col- | lector Loomis was being heard by | declaring that the committee mem- | hers should not concern themselves | rith the salary and wages of factory cmployes while considering requests | ¢ for inereases in the compensation | of eity efficials and employes. “What difference does it make if Lil Jones or some other factory office girl is getting such and such a salary?” he asked. “If the girls whose pay we are eonsidering are deserving of mere money, let's give it to them, and if not, tell themr so, but stop this talk about the pay factory peo- ple are getting. ~We hope conditions will not always be as they are at present in the factories.” Councilman Gibney asked Council- man Sablotaky whether the latter or Tax Collector Looris was requesting the salary increases under discus- sion, *'Oh, you are going to tell me what 1 shall'say?” asked Coundilman Rablotsky. Counéliman Larson raised a point of ordep and Councliman Maxon stoppéd the tilt by telling | Councilman Sablotsky he could air Iis views om the salary question at a later time. Loomis Praises Assistant Tax Collector Loomis urged that Mrs. Mae B, Jackson, deputy collec- tor, be given an increase from $1,- 500 to 1,800, 8he is a very capable | deputy, he said, but her salary does not compare with those of some fe- male employes in factory offices ‘whowse responsibilities are not greater than those of the position she fills. “A dishonest girl in my office could put me out of business in a week,” he mald, “Mrs. Jackson does her ‘werk as well as it is possible for any human being to do it, and T believe her smlary should be increased.” He alse spoke in favor of increases from $20 to $33 per week for Misses Mar- garet Jackson and Evelyn Anderson, clerks in the office. Mr. Loomis told the committee he was pleased when he learned that sub-committees were to make a per- sonal inspection of the various of | two prosecuting attorneys and Judge | | Saxe replied that thero was a dif- | ied the |and they pay two per cent of their Privates—1st year Vacation—14 days pay. Sickness or Injury contracted performance of duty, full pay. Police Board Increases gregate more than the salaries of e two officials, A letter was presented from Judge Henry P. Roche, who was un- able to attend the meeting, express- ing the conviction that the two posi- Chairman R. W. Chamberlain of tions should have higher salaries at- [the police commissioners sald the tached to them. Judge Saxe was board was “unquestionably unani- asked by Councilman Warner |mous” in recommending the follow- whether or not he felt that New | ing salary increases: Chief, from §3.- Britain's police court should have (700 to $4,000; captain, from $2,800 to $3,000; lleutenants, from $2,600 to $2,750; sergeants, from $2,350 to ,450. Chiet Hart is capable in every respect and the exoellent ezprit de corps in the department is due to his leadership, the chalrman said. Captain Kelly is a competent officer of high intelligence and his faculty for handling complaints from irate residents, especially on the telephone, is commandable. The chairman said he has frequently been complimented for having & man of Captain Kelly’a ability and temperament in charge of the desk. Everyone having busincse with the captain, whatever its Lature may be, is assured of prompt and courti-ous treatment, the chairman sald. Rela- tive to the lieutenants and gergeants, the chairman said he and the other commissioners felt thd duties and responsibllities of the ofices merited more salary. He pointed. out that the sergeants’ pay is only 44 cen! more per day than that of the po- licemen. Totching on the chief's salary, the chairman said he often wondered, even before he was connected with the tity government, why the fire chief was pald more than the po- lice chief. He has yet to find out, and it is his bellef that the salaries should be equal at least. Relative to a clothing allowance for officers and members of* the department, the chairman sald the board of finance | and taxation will deal with this fea- ture of the department budget. TRACK ACTIVITIES 10 START TONIGHT Record List of Entries to Com- pete in Games in Brooklyn. New York, Jan. 7 (M—With & record entry list of 700 athletes, Columbus Council, Knights of Co- lumbus, will formally open the 1928 indoor track and field activities to- night in its second annual games at the Twenty-Third Regiment armory in Brooklyn. Many runners of note who will represent the United States in the Olympics this year are entered in the meet. Of special interest will be a half mile special for the Mayor Walker trophy which will bring Lloyd Hahn of the Boston A. A. into action. Be- sides being undefeated last season, Hahn established several new rec ords and defeated Edvin Wide in a race that' was within a fraction of @ second of the mile record. Hahn's competitors mile sprigt will be Phil Edwards of of New York University, national junior half mile champion; Bernard McCafferty, New Jersey scholastic star, Johnny Holden, Eddle 8win- burne and William Sullivan. In the Olympic sprint serfes, with races at 60, 80 and 100 meters, Bob McAllister, Kari Wildermuth, Bob Wise, Larry Rawlings, Walter Blau- berg and George Mittelsdorf are en- tered. record at 10 meters while Wilder- muth is the national 60 yard cham- pion.

It would be an ideal system, however, Judge Saxe said, and he hopes to see it in operation eventually. Murphy Speaks For Firemen Councilman James P. >Murphy, | who was one of the signers of a solution in the common council to | give the captains, lleutenants and privates in the fire department an increase of 50 cents a day, amaunt- ing to between $15,000 and $16 000, said he felt that the firemen were deserving of consideration as they had not recelved an Increase in wages In several years. When an advance of 50 cents a day was made it actually was not an increase, he said, because their pay had been re- duced by that amount yhen the two platoon system went into effect. Councilman Murphy said he was surprised that a committee of fire- men was not in attendance, but the | salary committee Informed him that | Chairman C. J. Dehm of the hoard of fire commissiomers had indicated that the board might not look kindly on the appearance of a committes of firemen before a council commitree, after the commissioners had reject- firemen’s petition for the Chatrman Dehm did | not say the commygssioners would | reprimand or punish the firemen's committee for appearing before the | salary committee, but had indicated | that the commissioners might resent Therefore, the salary committee ald not ask the firemen’s commit- | tee to attend the hearing.

Every Big Ten school had a successful prelim- inary season in which a number of “finds” were reported among soph- omores. These discoveries, together with veterans of last year, formed the basis of optimistic reports emanating from every campus, Michigan, in meeting Northwest- ern at Evanston tonight, will face one of the real threats of the Big Ten. The Purple team has display- ed a powerful offensive in practice games, The Chicago Maroons, traveling to Bloomington, Ind:, to play Indlana, haje one of the few strong defensive 1il ps in the conference and In- diana, always & potential champion, should receive plenty of opposition. Purdue, meeting Illinois at Urbana faces & team recently returned from a Paclfic coast trip and undoubted- ly tired. The Boilermakers will have no set-up, however, as Coach Ruby's quintet has displayed strength, ‘Wisconsin, which plays Ohio State at Columbus, faces an uncertain line up, but was not overly optimistic, Ohio State has four sophomores who have shown considerable ability fin early games but whether they will be started tonight was uncertain. Jowa and Minnesota will battle at Minneapolis in the other Big Ten contest.

Reports had been current that the status of the champion would ceme into the discussion of the annual meeting of the golf assoclation today at which Bobby was down for a post on the executive committee, having been nominated recently. “The action of the United States Golt assoclation approving the gift to me of a home by my friends has been brought to my attention. This action confirms my umderstanding of the amateur rule,” Jones said in & statement after the meeting. “At the time the gift was tendered and accepted I had no thought that it was not entirely proper. § have Isince had opportunity to consider jthe matter more carefully and have reached the conclusion that the in- terests of our great game will be best served if I do not retain the home.” Friends Surprised _Atlanta, Jan. 7 (M—Friends of Bobby Jones were taken by surprise at his New York announcement that he would decline the gift of a $50,- 000 check made him by his friends and admirers here for the purpose of building him a home.
