C. H. Carter Reappointed.
Charles II. Carter was retained n
city attorney, and for tho present hit
salary was allowed to stand at the
sum recently fixed by tho council,
$50. There Is talk among the alder
men of cutting that amount in two.
It was formerly $25, hut when the
city was constructing the sewer and
had so many other things to look
after, It was thought best to raise the
salary for a time. Accordingly it was
put at $50, and has been allowed so
to stand since that time. Now, how
ever, it Ib argued that the work on
tho sewer is dono and thtft there! is
not much for the attorney to do, arid
for the saku of economy It would be
best to restore tho old salary. What
action will 'be taken has not yol been
decided.
