THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1903. CURRENT COUNCIL NEWS OF IOWA. BLUFFS. FIREMEN TO GET MORE PAY Bentiment of Council is 8aid to Be Unani- mous on the Bubjeot. INCREASE 1S RESTORATION OF OLD RATE Compliance with Request of Wounld Mean an Increase of $1,020 Per Year in the Ex- penses of the City. There {s little doubt but the petition of the members of the fire department for an increase in their pay will be granted when the city council makes the appro- | priation next month for the maintenance of the depariment for the ensuing twelve months. The request of the firemen is not in fact for an increase, but that their pay be restored to what It was before the reduction in 1892, The pay of the mem- bers of the fire department was reduced to the present figures in 1592, when times were hard, and now that times are pros- perous the men feel that it should be brought back to the old scale. That the firemen will get what they ask seems cer- tain, @s all of the aldermen interviewed on the subject have expressed themselves as favorable Besides the chlet, there are eighteen men in the fire department, including the captains of the four hose houses. The eighteen men aw recelve $60 a month each, the pay for the captains and regular men belng the same. The council ia asked to raise the pay of the fourteen regular men to $66 a month, and that of the four captains to $70 a month. This would mean an increass of $110 a month, or $1,320 for the year, exclusive of whatever increase may be made in the salary of the chief, who now receives §76 & month. The pay of the chief of the fire depart. ment is much lower than that paid in other cities of a similar size to Council Bluffs. It has been suggested that the chief of the fire department ought to recelve the same emolument as the chief of the policé de- partment. The latter receives $100 & month, as well as fees from the superior court in his capacity of city marshal. It is con~ tended that the dutles of the chief of the fire department are as arduous, if not more 80, than those of the chiet of police. To increase the pay of the chlef of the fire department to $100 a month would be a raise of $300 for the year. This added to the proposed increase for the regular men and the four capains would make a total increase of $1,620 for the year, which would have to be taken into considertion in determining the appropriation for the fire department, N.

Calfee’'s statements last evening at the Broadway Methodist church when delivering his pulpit opinion on “The City Government.” Following this statement Rev. Calfee read the portion of the city ordinance defining the duties of the Ag: o | Rey. Calfee, in a series of what he terms “pulpit opinions,” has criticised the mu- nicipal administration, which Le claims is not enforcing the laws in the manner they should be, Last evening he took the po- sition that while by did not expect the city officials to be reformers, it was their duty to enforce the existing laws. He sald the city government showed plainly that it was incliped to afford protection to that class which he designated as the “de- spoilers of our youth/ This el he sald, was not entitled to consideration in comparison with the respectable element of the community. Rev. Calfee then enumerated a long list of those he classed as despollers, mentioning at the head of the list saloon keepers and gamblers, He sald the city government ought to suppress slot machines, raffles, the playing of cards for money or prizes, sensational literature, the sensational and oftimes ob- scene billboards and last, but not least, the Bunday night theater, Horses Burned in Barn. Fire completely destroyed the barn on the premises of Charles M. Crippen at 2406 West Broadway yesterday morning. Two horses were incluerated and ode so severely burned before it was rescued that 1t 1s expected to dle. Retween eight and ten tons of hay were burned, as well tour sets of harne The flames were discovered at 4 o'clock, but it was 10 o'clock before the firemen were able to leave the place, owing to the difficulty In extingulshing the quantity of burning hay. The barn, which s a total loss, was owned by Thomas Rishton and was partially insured. With the exception Men | Paul's church, and in place of a regular sermon addressed the congregation on (he subject of dlocesan missions, belng an appeal for assistance in carrying on the mission work of the diocese.

Calfee, accompanied by a newspaper man, visited the New theater and witnessed “Pickings from Puck.” What the reverend gentleman's opinion of the performance was he declined to state, but he appar- ently seemcd to enjoy ‘it and laughed heartily at times at Willard Simms. When 1t became known that the pastor of Broad- way ‘church was fn the audience he natur- ally became the center of attraction. He is expected to give his opinion next Sunday evening from the pulpit of his church. Throws Up Maii Contract. James F, Nevins, who has been carrying the mails between . the postofice and the railroad depots, yesterday threw up his contract and as & temporary arrangement Postmaster Hazelton secured E. Minnick and son to do the work. It is said that Nevins threw up the contract because the goverument fined him $62 for mot keeping his wagons in repair. Nevins took over the contract from A.
