RECOMMEND AN IKCItHASK OK SALAHY.
Mr. Sebum submitted tbe report of the
fire committee. Tbe report contained the
result of the annual inspection and a
recommendation for an increase of tbe sal
aries of drivers and tlllerman te $50 per
mentu. -i ne report was auepicu.
'Mr. Schutn introduced the following or
dinance, which was referred te the finance
cemmittee and reported affirmatively :
An ordinance te Incrcase the pay of the
drivers of tbe steam fire engines, hose
carta and drivers and tlllerman of truck A
of the fire department of the city of Lan
caster. Section!. Be it ordained by the select
and common councils of the city of Lan
caster, in council assembled, that from
and 'after the first day of June next the
salaries of the drivers of the several steam
fire engines, hese carts nnd truck, as well
as the tillerman of the truck company,
shall be fifty ($50) per month In lien of the
salary new rocelved by said empleyes
aforesaid, nnd that the said drivers and
the said drivers and tlllerman be com
pelled te uniform tbomselves.
Section 2. All ordinances or parts of
ordinances inconsistent horewlth ure here
by repealed.
. The ordinance was referred te the finance
cemmittee and the committee, through Mr.
Kiddle, chairman, reported adversely en it.
In explanation of his position he said the
cemmittee were obliged te repert ndvorsely
because of the luck of funds. The com
mittee found it very dlflicult te appropriate
the monev te make it reach. There has
been f 17,000 appropriated te the fire depart
ment and tliore is no money te appropriate
for increased salaries of drivers. lie was
net opposed te anything that would ndd te
the efficiency of the fire department, but It
was necessary te practice economy in all
the departments.
Mr. Everts thought the flnance com cem cem
mitteo was discourteous te the lire com
mittee te kill the ordinance in that way.
Let it come before councils nnd if it is
defeated it is all right. He thought the
cemmittee should have economized in
ether departments. He did net think the
beard of health needed $1,000.
Mr. Erisman said 81,000 had been taken
from the water works general fund and if
that Important department had te practice
the greatest economy te get through he
thought this Increased salary question
could be doferrcd for the prosent.
Mr. Wise did net think the ordlnanee
appropriating tiie public moneys would
stand much amending. The street depart
ment has very llttle meney te go en and
the streets of the city a year honce would
be werse than new.
Mr. lllddle said the appropriation in the
ordlnanee of 810,000 te pay street damaces
ii
orders wero given payable en the next 15th
of June. There Is iiethlnir appropriated
for the streets te be opened this year; in
the ordinance is $5,000 for the Empire
beuse, a debt e intruded last year; $1,800
for liose bought last year ; r-,Mn ler uam
ages te the Kelly farm, caused ever a year
age; a teinpornrylean o.S22,e10, te pay for
the erection of n markei house, making a
total of $43,000 appropriated te pay old
debts,
Mr. Schum moved that the ordlnanee be
printed, notwithstanding the advorse re
port of the flnance committee, and the mo
tion was adopted by the following vote :
Messrs. Everts, MeComsey, Schum, White
and Leng, president, voted nye and Eris
msn, Riddle, Itohrer nnd Wise voted no.
The ordinance will come up for action at
the next meeting of councils.

A MESSAOE FROM THK MAYOR.
Mr. Kautz presented the following mes
sage from the mayor :
Te the JTonerable the Select and Common Cbun-
cilt of the City of Luncmter:
The appropriations for the next fiscal
year will be under consideration by your
lionerablo bodies prier te the time fixed by
the city charter for the executive te com cem com
muuicite annually te councils "the condi
tion of the city in 'relation te its govern
ment, finances and Improvements." In
view of this I venture at this tltne te make
certain recommendations with regard te
the " business and interests of the city"
which It may be well te keep in view'ln
fixing the annual appropriations.
A recent porsenat visitation te, and in
spection of, the various branchea of the fire
department confirm my faverable opinion
of its elllcieney as an organization and of
the fidelity of its individual mombers. In
my Judgment they should be uniformed,
and te make adequate prevision for this,
and in appreciation of this constant atten
tion te duty, I recommend an increase of
their compensation.
At the present meeting of councils will
be offered tbe petition of hundreds of lead
ing citizens and beavy taxpayers, praying
for an appropriation te aid in tbe erection
of a bridge across the Couestoga at a point
within the cltv limits known ns "Reigart's
Landing." The reasons in support of such
a preposition are correctly expressed in
these petitions. This improvement in the
southeastern part of the city would meet
w ltb general favor and be of public benefit.
In Justice te prlvate as well as for the pie pio pio
motien of public interests, I recommend te
ceunclis favorable consideration of this
petition.
The condition of Seuth Duke street, along
what is known as "The Dump," demands
immodlate attention from ceunclis and the
street department. The roadway should
be made te conform te the established
grade, and all dumping In excess of this
Bheuld be abated and prohibited te save
the city from liability for damages.
An enlarged water supply te residents
upon high ground in the city is a subject
that cannot be tee earnestly pressed upon
councils. The raising of the stand plpe is
ene practicable means te this end. It is
also worth consideration whether the 20
inch main that supplies the remoter and
higher sections of the city should net be
connected with the stand-pipe Instead of the
12 inch main that needs less pressure and
re and
its like
mp
ieyJse
asefl te
runs te lower points. Improvements like
these will entail ugni expense com pi
with the resulting benefits, and if they.
te be made, the present is tne sea:
undertake ana complete mom.
