10 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POKTLASD, MARCH. 17, 19U7. INT !i50 A MONTH City Councilmen Not Satisfied With Present Salary. SEEK TO AMEND CHARTER IV11I Submit Their Cause to tbe Peo ple at June Election Also to Ask More Money for City Engineer and Attorney. 'The salary of nearly every employe of the city has been raised since the firs;, of the year, and now the Coun i ilr.icn want a r.llce of prosperity. They will ask the people to increase thnir compensation from $2d to $50 a month. They cannot raise their own salaries, hence the proposed appeal to the peo ple. Next June an amendment to the city cnarter will be submitted under "the referendum making the increase. At a special meeting of the judiciary committee yesterday Councilman Shep herd proposed the amendment to the charter raisin the salaries of the Councilmen and ills colleagues fairly fell over themselves in their eagerness to second and cprry t'ue motion. Councilman Shepherd and the other two members of the committee, Coun cilmen Vaughn and Masters, were unanimously of the opinion that the Councilmen are underpaid. They feel ingly referred to the a montii sal ary as 'bcurarly" and "a mere pit tance" and to console themselves ex plained to each other in detail that 3u wi'.s not enough for the arduous work and brain fag that attends the duties of Councilmen. Something was aJso snid about the advance in rents and t:io high prices of food and cloth ing. It was also determined to let tlio voters decide whether the offices of the City Kngineer and City Attorney should be increased from J24O0 to J3600 a year. I. Lang and J. N. Teal spoke, in favor of an increase in the salary of the City Kngincer. The City Kngi necr of Seattle receives a salary of JtfiOOO a year, and City Engineer Tay lor is admittedly tne "hardest-working city official in Portland. City Attorney McNary declared that the salary of the office he now occu pies should be at least $36i0 and that of the deputies $240J. The members tit the committee agreed with him. Mr. McNary has no personal interest in the question, as his term soon ex pires and iie is not a candidate for re-election. The members of the Executive Board also have become interested in the talk of higher salaries, according to Councilman Shepherd. He says they are anxious that something more ma terial than honor be attached to their positions. He declared in open meet ing that he had talked to members of the Executive Board and that they were in favor of drawing: salaries. The other members of the committee and City Attorney McNary succeeded in inducing Shepherd to drop the mat ter of picking the pockets of the City Treasurer for the benefit of the mem bers of the Executive Board. They said that it was against the scheme of the present form of city government to pay members of the Executive Board, and that they were supposed to be sustained in their taboos by pride and interest in their own city. When he first mentioned the ques tion of raising the salaries of the Councilmen. Shepherd suggested $100 a month. After a second consideration he thought 150 a. month would be bet ter. He also advised that the amend ment raising the salaries of the Coun cilmen not be coupled with the amend ment increasing the salaries of the City Engineer and City Attorney, lest the latter measure might be unable, to pull through alone.
