HERE IS REASON INSPECTOR
STILL-WORKS FOR LESS THAN
HIS RIGHTFUL RATE OF PAY
Not only did Alderman' Utter
and Patton. aft a recent meeting of,
the city council, .announce ther
intention of introducing legisla
tion to reduce the pay of all city
employes, but the same two coun
cilmen are responsible for the
Salem sanitary inspector's present
salary which is S 1 00 less than
tbe normal amount allowed htm
by the city budget. And yet Ut
ter, who Is one of the candidates
for , mtiyor, told the. Central
Trades and Labor council that he
is opposed to reductions in the
pay of -city employes.
Inspector Make Sacrifice
In the latter part of 1920 when
the city council was preparing the
budget for 1921 there was a
shortage of funds to cover one de
partment. To meet this $100 was
clipped from the salary of the
ranitary inspector, reducing him
from $1200 to $1100 for the year.
A year later, when the budget
for the present year was made up,
the council adopted a budget.
with public approval, which in
cluded $1200 as" the salary of the
sanitary inspector, .which ! was
simply a proposed restoration of
his former salary. :
Neat Utuf Is Worked
But to make this item in the
budget effective It was necessary
to pass an ordinance. This was
Introduced at the regular meet
ing of the council on January 1
last, and was krmwn as bill No.
15197. It was read the. first time
and, no objection being offered
was alsa given a second reading
The following taken from the
minutes of the meeting shows
how Utter and Patton, after Utter
had made a motion indicating
that he was In favor of the meas
ure, took advantage of the pres
ence "of only nine members at the
meeting apd killed the bill.
