FIRE PROTECTION 1913
COST HALF CENT AN ACRE
t Tho JackBon County Fire Protec
tive association made a season's re
port Tuesday afternoon on tho cost ot
fori st flro protection la Jackson
county. Tlio cost was small bclns
only ouc-half cent per aero for timber
1ind ouued by Individuals outside of
tho government land Although there
has been a largo number of small
fires tho damage ha? been ne-gllglb'o!
tho lust year.
As n quorum wns not present other
Important mn'ers wero postponed
until tho rcgu'ar meeting In I'obru-ary.
r ITY RKCORD10R FOSS roi-onUr made public it list of
v fho eitv's reurular onudoves on tho payroll. It totaled
$3"). 100. It did not include any amounts for "extra labor,
variahU'" in each department.
Tho stun of $35,100 is a goodly sum to ho an a fixed pay
roll for a city tlio size of Mod ford, but tin investigation of
tho books shows that tho "oxtra labor, variable' is in it
sol r woll worth mentioning.
Tho recorder gives the police payroll as follews:
I'hler of police, $Sti police sergeant. fSO; patrolmen, ISO, patrolmen,
$SiV extra police, variable. l'cr month. $321., per jour, ?000. (
The "extra police, variable" during the year varied
from $31.20 to $1M.7.", a total for tho eleven months to
date of $U5l.ol), or an average of $f!).fi0 pur month, or $7M
for tho year. I his should be added to the $;l!HH), inaUtug
tho noli'eo nnvroll .UUt for tbe vear. This does not in
clude the cost of maintaining an auto for the chief, re
cently discontinued, nr any ext ras for supplies, etc. moro
ly the payroll.
The reeoiiflor gives tho payroll for tluv water depart
ment as follews:
Water superintendent. Jl.": assistant water superintendent, $90 nv
slstnnt water superlntondont. J90; intake tender. $60; rosorsolr tender. MO
K-trn labor by day, variable. Total per month, $."; per ear, $5100.
The water department "extra labor per day, variable"
pavroll is shown bv the records to be as follews: .January,
J?20().10; February, $70r.01 ; Alarch, .fMO.-lo: April, $-l-WY2
Mav, .f 114.69; June. Tl.M; duly, .f-IUl.til: August, .f.)U7.
S2: Soptombor, $l59l5.r)8; October, $071.89; .November.
$281.09. The total for the 1 L months of 1913 is $o0 10.19,
the average per month, .f-loS. which would make the total
for the year $5198, or $400 greater than the regular payroll.
The total water department payroll is then approxi
mately $10,59S, per year, not including the cost, of the
Water'superintendont's automobile, the department wagon,
supplies and repairs.
The recorder gives the payroll for the street depart
ment as follews:
City engineer. $150; street commissioner. $100; assistant street com
missioner. $75; electrical Inspector. $75; street sprinkler with team. $15'
laborer. $7!; laborer. 7D: laborer, $70; laborer, $05. extra labor by da
variable. Total per month, $S10; total per )oar, $9720.
The street department "extra labor by day variable' is
shown by examination of records as a substantial amount,
even though "variable.." For tho present year, it has
run as follews: January, $55,l.u8; Februarv, $9li(.0o;
March, $590.75; April, $31155; May, $a'3.75; dune, $5Sb
17; July, $U01.05; August, $(H(,45; September, $595.00:
October. $535; November, $555.(K). Total for eleven
months, $7276.05. Average per month, $661 ; total for year
$793 . Tjiis does not include the cost of the automobile
mainfainea for the city engineer or supplies and material.
The total street department payroll then is approxi
mately $17,650 a year, which is going some, considering the
times and the work. Instead of totaling $35,000 a year, the
city payroll really totals over $50,000 some of which
surely can be saved.
It is not intended to cast any reflection upon the em
ployes of various departments or their chiefs. Jt is the
administrative system that is attacked and must be reme
died an extravagant and wasteful policy that causes a
needless increase in taxation, imposing burdens upon over
burdened taxpayers.
To sustain these constantly growing payrolls and this
army of officialdom, the city tax levy for the coming year
was raised to twelve mills from 9.9 mills for the year prev
ious, making taxpayers cough up $7000 more in hard times
on a decreased valuation, with no emergencies to bo met,
with little construction being done, in a year when in
creased state taxation, due to legislative extravagance,
makes the load upon the property owners unusually lteavv.
