TKa At ... ... iiio mj(ur meu announceaxnattne board was organized and reaHv for mo tions. . . - Alderman Wittkowskv the board resolve itself into a commit tee of the whole to discuss the salaries oi cuy cmciais. Aldermen Maxwell moved to amend by resolving that the board go into secret session. l'he amendment was lost and the original motion was put and carried. - On motion of Aldermen Dowd, the board went into the consideration of the salary of clerk Alderman iiutler moved that the sal ary of the city clerk be fixed at $800. Alderman Scott called for the ayes and noes. The vote, after seme dis cussion was taken and resulted as fol lows: Ayes, Aldermen Butler, Smith and Ward ; noes, the remainder of the board lost. Alderman Schenck moved that the salary be fixed at $600. The vote on this motion resulted: ayes, Aldermen Smith, Grier, Ward, Butler, Schenck; noes, the remainder of the board lost. Aldermen Dowd moved that the clerk's salary be at $500. The vote re sulted as follows: Aldermen Ward, Butler, Schenck, Gordon, Dowd, Smith, Garibaldi, Rigler, Grier carried. The salary of the marshal was next taken up. Alderman Scott moved that the sala ry be fixed at 3 per cent, on collections. Alderman Maxwell moved that it be fixed at 2 per cent.. The vote was taken on 3 per cent, and resulted in adopting this rate. The reporter failed to get the ayes and noes. On the subject of the salary of police men, Alderman Scott moved that the salary be fixed at $40 per "month throughout the year. Alderman Garibaldi suggested that the salary be $35. Alderman Butler suggested $50. The vote on $50 resulted : ayes Alder men Butler, Ward and Rigler ; noes the remainder of the board. Lost. l nesum ot $40 was then voted on and carried, the only negative vote be ine cast by Alderman Gordon. When the subject of the salary of the mayor came up, his honor called Alder man scott to tne cnair and retired iroin the meeting. Alderman Rigler moved that the sal arvbemade $500: Alderman Schenck thought it ought to be $800, and Alder man Wittkowsky insisted upon $300 and "the honor." On this point there was considerable discussion. Alder man Wittkowsky urged that the duties of the office were light, and that the salary of the office should not consti tute its attraction. Alderman Gordon thousrht it should be at least respecta ble. Alderman Wittkowsky1 informed him that the mayor of the city of Lon don got nothing lor holding tne posi tion and discharging its duties, and that he freauentlv spent a hundred or two thousand dollars to get it. Alder man Dowd favored $500 because it whs time the struggle for the office should cease, and that when a man spent mon ey to be elected he should be the loser and not the gainer tnereny. in repiy to this, Alderman Schenck said it was a little unfortunate tnat tne reduction should be made after an election in which neither of the candidates had spent any money that they should be made to sutler tor sins commiweu s year or two ago. Only Aldermen Jtsutier, vvara, vor- don and Schenck voted tor $800, and t.hp. motion1 was lost. The vote was then taken on $o00 and passed unanimously with the exception of Alderman Schenck, who refused to vote so for small a sum. Alderman Grier moved that the sala ry of street commissioner be made $40; Alderman Maxwell favored $35. The vote was taken on $40 and carried, Al dermen Maxwell, Garibaldi, Gordon, Schenck and Scott voting in the nega tive. After considerable discussion, tne pay of keeper of the colored cemetery was nxed ac vo ana no iees.. The vote on the pav of the keeper ot Elmwood cemetery, was taken between $500 and $400, resulting in a tie. The mayor voted for $500, thereby fixing the salary at that amount. On motion of Alderman Dowd the board then went into the ejection of officers. C. C. Hort6n, CV. Alexander and C. v m rriMi in u'ih iniiiiiiiAiiru a ifi iviL i : ... . n i n t fii rnr 1 1 i marshal.
