TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTE3IBER 21. 1910. 21 WAR OVER CITY PHY 5 NCHEA ES BREWING Inconsistencies Charged in Standardization Schedule. MAYOR WANTS CHANGES Commissioners' Secretaries Listed for $15 0 a Month, Though Girls Doing Similar Work to Get $12 0. Pointed differences of opinion over proposed increases of salary to city em ployes promise to develop tomorrow when members of the city council are to meet informally to consider the pro posals submitted by Commissioners Pier and Barbur, two members of the standardization' committee. Commissioner Bigelow, the third member of the committee, has thus far refused to agree with his colleagues and yesterday intimated that unless drastic changes were made in the pro posals he not only would refuse to sign the report but would oppose the passage of the proposed ordinance with all vigor possible. Mayor Wants Changes. Mayor Baker is also opposed to some of the proposed increases. Although he has not yet had opportunity to scan the entire list, he did see sufficient in the report to say that changes were imperative if his support is to be ob tained. All the proposed salary readjust ments had not been typed yesterday in ordinance form. Commissioner Pier re fused to sanction publication of the in complete report. However, enough of the proposed programme was noised about at the city hall to begin a stir of Indignation by some employes who averred that the proposed increases wero not consistent. One instance in particular shows that the committee proposes to pay an as sistant commissioner in the department of public works and another man hold ing a similar position in the depart ment of public utilities J225 per month, the same silary that Js proposed for Mayor Baker's secretary, Hal M. White, who also handles the management of the public auditorium. Secretary's Honri Look While the two men in the depart ment of public utilities and the depart ment of public works hold responsible positions, it is pointed out tha. both work only from 8:30 A. M. until 5 P. M., whereas Mr. White is required to work in the mayor's office throughout the day and virtually every night throughout the year, and with the ex ception of July and August is forced to remain at the auditorium until 11 or 12 o'clock. No provision is made for increases for the chief of the fire bureau, or the chief of police, although the city audi tor, city treasurer, city engineer and other heads of departments would get eubstantlal increases in salaries. Inconsistency Is Charged. Secretaries to the commissioners would get $150 monthly, although one person listed for this position is said to do nothing but work of a typewriter copyist and stenographer. Others doing similar work are listed for $120 and $125 per month. Throughout the list are apparent inconsistencies, and instead of bring ing about a standardization, Commis sioner Bigelow avers that the report is apparently an effort to put over the salary schedules defeated by the coun cil some months ago. That chang-es must be made seems apparent, and it is probable that the proposed increases will result in a long-drawn-out fight before the city coun cil. Mayor Baker said yesterday that he would refuse to consent to passage of any salary ordinance by emergency and that 30 days would elapse before any ordinance affecting salaries be came effective. WAR OFFICE WANTS DATA LAXE COIXTY ORDERED TO COMPILE STATISTICS. List of Xatural Resources and Map Showing Topography of AH Districts Required. EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Major William H.
