Gram's TJltimatom Bfet ' When
Cooncilmen Tap Street Im
provement Fund
The problem of . how; to meet
the ultimatum issued by Charues
Gram, state . labor commissioner,
that the city council pay its pav
ing crew .double time for all work
done since July 6, was settled last
night when the council, on re
commendation of Alderman ,
W. Rosebraugh, voted to give In
and pay the men the double time
demanded, amounting to $180.
The money will be paid out of
the street improvement fund.
The difficulty arose when a
complaint was made by some un
known person to the labor com
missioner, stating that ' Walter
Low,; Salem - street commissioner,
was Working his' crew nine hours
a day. The labor commissioner
ordered the council, to pay double
timafor all this work or he would
bring action against the city in
court. '.' '
The men were worked j nine
hourB after July 4 at their own
request, following successful adop
tion of the plan for the preceding
week. The person who brought the
complaint is unknown ' to ' Mr.
Low.
The street improvement com
mittee and city attorney were ap
pointed at the council meeting two
weeks ago to investigate the mat
ter, and Mrs. Rosebraugh, the
chairman, reported last night that
the committee had conferred with
Mr. Gram and concluded that the
best solution was to give in to the
demands.

The consensus of opinion among

come when, these outstanding se

to the best interests of the var

cording to Thomas B. Kay, state

"I was asked repeatedly in con
nection with the bonding' of west

purposes," said Mr. Kay. 'Some
financiers expressed surprise when
Informed that there was no limit
of bonds that could be Issued by
