The police officers at the present time, with the exception of the City Marshal, receive a salary of $80 per month. This amount it is proposed to cut to $70 per month, in order to economize. The ¢ Trustees held a committee meeting last evening for the purpose of considering the tax rate to be fixed at their meeting Monday night. They agreed upon a rate of $116, ‘and while all the items of the tax levy 'have not been determined upon definifely,” that will be the figure formally established by them.
