¿KL Swrtt Heralb Subscription, $1.00 a Year FACTS CONCERNING FINANCES OF LENTS STATION, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1919 Next CITY Employe* Claim Right to Equal Remuneration with Men Work ing for Private Business Enter prises. Editor The Herald: A m one of the employee* of the city hull would you allow me space in your valuable me dium to present a few fact* rela tive to the present financial con dition of the city »« it pertain* to the business of which I have charge. When Dr. Perkin* wn» city comndaaioncr he prevailed upon me to accept the position of sta tionery clerk, the duties of which arc to purchase thr printing and stationery supplies for thr city. Having hail practical experience in this line I concluded to aCcrdr to Ilia rrepirst with reluctance owing to the small salary, as it was paying only the munificent sum of $98 per month. When Mr. Pier succeeded him as com missioner I was requested to re main nnd several months ago tile salaries of most of the employes were raised $5 to $15 per month, my salary now being $113 per month which according to the high cost of living is equal to $30.00 a month three years ago. During the time I have hern conducting this branch at the city hall I may conscientiously state to the public that through my knowledge of the business I have saved thr city more than double my salary by right buy ing and according to business methods. Now what I want to impress upon the public mind is that my case is only one out of many where the salary paid is not commensurate for the re sponsibility attached to the re quired knowledge necessary to fill tile positions. I find that the salaries paid here in the city hall ar«- beggarly1 of course the people say: "If you don't like it quit.“ In my case. Yes, I have already sent in my resignation to take effect the first of the year ami will try henceforth to earn more than a bare living. The taxpayers of the city should know that their servants arc worthy of their hire nnd en titled to the same remuneration ns if working for private busi ness firms and futhermore: when they see the city is constantly In creasing in population it stands to reason thnt more revenue must be required especially at this time, than five years ago. Every dollar voted for the progress of the city means a hundrer fold in year* to conic ami when the measure comes up for increase of taxes from !• to II mills on Nov ember 12 it behooves every citi «en to vote "Yes" nnd if you arc wise nnd want to sec your city grow don’t cheat yourself out of dollars to save pennies.
