SALARY NATTERS 'ENDEDIN l][lUNfiIL Adjustment of Meriam, Faselle's | Reached—10,000 Voted Urged by Mayor Paonessa to de- clare themselves on the salary sit- uation and make known what they are willing to pay for the positions of city engineer and for street sup- erintendent, the common council lust night ended the dispute by fixing a wage of $4.250 a year for Engineer Philip A. Merian, and $2,200 a year for Supt. Eugene Faselle The council had previous! ed a recommendation its salar adjustment commitiee that Merian be paid $4,500 and that Faselle re ceive $2.500. The salary of Park Superintendent Clyde Ellingwoodl was fixed at §$3,000 a year by unanimous vote. When the committee’s report was put to a vote by acclamation, Coun- cilman Samuel Sablotsky asked that “yea and na ballot be taken Those voting to pay Merian §4.500 a vear were: Mayor Paonessa, Alder- man Nair and Zapatka, Councilmen Samor: Wilson, Murphy. y and Greene. Those Who oppesed were: Aldermen Falk Judd and Johnson, and Councilmen Haynes, Huber, Whitman, Mack, Ziegler, Warner, Goddard, Parker, Anderson, Conlon and Boyle. After the resuit of the vote made known, Mayor Paonessa took the floor to say: “Gentlemen: Its time you took a stand and said what in your opinion these jobs ought to have. The ~orporation counsel says the council shall fix the sala engineer. 1f you don't be- .500 is proper, say what you but by all means straighten tonight Mayor's Words “Is it the desire of the common council that I, through the board of public works, drop Merian. 1f it is, | all right, you have the majority. but 1 tell you the city will be the loser. Be men! There's enough of you here and you're old enough; have some gumption about you!" Alderman J. Gustave Johnson w in favor to vote for a $4 and Alderman Nair was mind. Alderman Judd surprise that the committee shonid come back with a recommendation | once turned down by a large vot and he expressed satisfaction with the wage fixed by Johnson, making it plain that he would vote for an| increase if Merian proves his worth A resolution was prepared by Act- ing Corporation Counsel Mortimer H. Camp and was unanimously ap- proved by the council. The Faselle Matter Action next came on the recom- mendation of the adjustment com- mittee that Faselle be paid 32,300 While moving adoption, Councilman Sablotsky charged that nine of ten of his colleagues have their minds alrendy set on political lines. Hu peinted to Faselle's success in sav- 3 the city money on oiling this and he defied anyone who 1710 to vote against the increase to int out a legitimate reason why eir vote is fo be so. He attributed the anticipated opposition to ties and a desire to embarass present administration Alderman Johnson again suggest- ed a compromise fignre, $2.200. This he said, 15 a fair considering the brief period of municipal the incumbent has seen. Alderman Jud: made it clear that th discussion of what positions 1a- selle had previously held was not prompted by any desire to cast dis- credit upon the man. but to show that these jobs did not give him training as an executive and handler of men. Much of the discussion about the Faselle salary had been with reference to his past employ- ment, claim having been made that he was a sweeper at one time and at other times had held subordinate jobs. Faselle produced a volume of written recommendations and state ments from previous emplovers to show that he was a skilled me- chante, ¥ reject- was this out poli- the wage rvice Concrete Pavements Stay Smooth as Built ‘| the city Councilman James P.
