Various improvements are necessary before insurance rates are lowered, he asserted, and the national board of fire underwriters recommends them to the city government. The common council passes on them when they come from the fire com- missioners, but Chiet Noble has nothing to do with putting them into operation, he said. $27,000 Salary Increases Sought The salary increases requested amounted to approximately $27.000. The largest individual item, that of the fire department increases, was not allowed. Some of the female clerks in city hall were favored and others were turned down. Specula- tion was rife today as to the fate of the committee’s report when it goes before the council at the meeting January 16. Alderman W. R. Falk of the Sec- ond Ward, who is on record as op- posed to a general upward revision ‘of the salary list, was in attendance during part of the meeting. As he ‘was leaving the room, Councilman |8ablotsky urged him to stay. “A man who is going to run for mayor /next time ought to be interested enough to stay through the meet- ing, Walter,” the councilman said. “Well it you run, T will,” the alder- man replied. “I'm not going to run,” Councilman Sablotsky said. ‘Nelther am 1,” the alderman answered. .
