Volunteer Members Suggest That Pay
Should Be Made Inducement
Electrician Complains.
Members of the volunteer fire bri
gade appeared at the meeting of the
board of city commissioners last night
and requested that action be taken to
provide a chief for the fire department
succeeding Charles Murchison, who
left the position the first of the monfh.
Members of the volunteers have been
taking turns at the fire hall the last
few days, while the city manngcr has
been endeavoring to secure the . ser
vices of a new chief.
The city manager, John Collier,
stated that he had a man in sight, but
he was at Camp Lewis an had not yet
jbeen able to secure his discharge. He
therefore appointed Lot Snotlgrass to
net as chief temporarily.
The volunteer members also urged
unon the commission tfiat tbev nav
their fir0 clli(,f a sufficient salary to
in5Ure tnat when they got a good man
in the position they would be able to
keep him. It was hinted that the late
chief would have remained had a rea
sonable wage advance been offered
him.
With the cxceMn of froutine busi
ness, there was nothinp else of im
nortance at the board mcctlnp. A. O.
Na?h appeared' to voice a complaint
against the wiring of houses by elec

This being tho end of the first
month of the new year it has occurred
to me that a comparison of this period
with former years might be of inter
est nt this time.
Thc records show expenditure for
labor nnd salaries as follows:
January, 19111 $1800.62
January, 1014 2017.07
January, 1018 17r.2.;tl
January, 1019 16:18.40
or an averasro saving of $320.00 per
month over former years.
This is in face of the fact that sal
aries and wafres are much higher now
than thev were two nr three venrs
" ,
ago.
Weather conditions and other
c r-
cumstances may, of course, have made
far as this item is concerned. There
