THE MORNING ASTOR1AN. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 23, ltK2 THE OLD nZUACLE AbsolulefrPuroT THEFiismsuzsmum RAISED lilt SAURIES COUNCIL WAS GOOD TO CITY OFFICIALS. . Busy Meeting: or the Municipal r" Guardians Was Held Last , Evening-. The salaries of the city attorney, au ditor and poMe judge and chief of po lice were restored to their former fiff uies at last night's meeting of the coun cil. A few years ago, when the city was press "d for funds, the salaries were reduced, that of the city attorney being cut from J9 to 179, that of the auditor from tl2S to 110 and. that of the chief of police from $99 to $81. Mr. Brlx Introduced the ordinances provid ing for restoration of the salaries of j. the auditor and attorney, and both hills went through under suspension of the rules. The Increase for Chief Hal lock was provided for. In a measure In troduced by Mr. Burns, but the request for unanimous consent for suspension was declined, Messrs. Bri and Sven son voting In the negative. This bill will be enacted at the next meeting of the council, a week hence. A communication was presented to the council last evening by President Welch and Secretary Gerdes of she As toria Federation of Labor asking that the city hereafter employ only union men, pay union wages and Ax eight hours as the duration of a working day. The matter was referred to the ways and means committee. . The council again placed Itself on record as opposed to the payment of living prices for the city printing. The ways and means committee reported that it had rejected all the bids for the work, as they were considered unrea sonably high, although the offer of The Astorian was that charged for com mercial printing. The committee's re port embodied the recommendation that, if lower bids were not submitted, a charter change permitting the post ing of notices should be made. The report was adopted. The ways and means committee and City Attorney Smith reported at some length on the matter of the claim of the county for $1499 for constructing the road from the reservoir to the city limits. According to the report, it was agreed in 1901 between the council and the county court "that the road would be built by the county if the city would turn over to It all the money in the hands of the road supervisor of Asto ria district. Later the county asked the city to make an additional pay ment of $1125.43, and the amount was accordingly paid.

The committee likewise reported on the proposal to require the road super visor to make monthly reports to the council, It was found that the law requires the supervisor to make his re ports to the county court, and the com mittee recommended that he be In structed to report every three months to the court, and to turn over road taxes to the city treasurer. The report was adopted. J , Councilman Brlx reported that he had found $1440 while on a visit to the city treasure. The money is In the cemetery fund, against which there are no outstanding warrants. Claims for maintenance of the cemetery had been drawn ji 'the general fund. 'Mr. Brit presented an ordinance transferring the amount In the cemetery fund to the general fund, in order that out standing warrants might be called in and a caving in Interest effected.
