in support the contentions of Council'
man Charles B. Hall. They desire to
prove that there Is enoqgh money avail

end the firemen '$1700 a year.
Mr. Hall's ordinance providinc for
meh a ecals of pay was sent to the
nnce committee without recommenda
tion at a meeting of the Council public
tafftr committee yesterday.
When the measure comes up before
the finance committee Tuesday, Mr.
Hall and the other Vare followers in
Council will be armed with figures with
which they .expect to show that the
money Is somewhere In the treasury.
At the next meeting of Council nn
ordinance providing for a lint Increase
of from $40 to $50 a year will be In
troduced. This i the measure recom
mended by MayorJIoore, who. after
an Investigation, nssefted that lack of

ment of Public Safety, and Acting Su
perintendent of Pollen Mills havo as
ured the Mnyor that the men In the
respective departments approve his or
dinance and realize that the city's
financial condition would not permit of
a higher rate nt this time.
