Under Same Circumstances Again, Mayor Says He Would Veto Or. dlnuncc for Extra I'ny. Although of tho opinion that the present salary of the city attorney Is not too large In view of the duties ho Is required to perform for the city, Mayor Sleeves declared yester day that he Is now sorry ho took such quick action in signing the bill for tho ordlnanco providing for the raise of $300 a year and that if the matter was to come up again under tire Bame clrcumstnnces he would veto the bill promptly. "I do not believe It right and I don't approve of any public official seeking a raise In the salary of an office established when he accepted," said Mayor Sleeves. "I bolieve that when a candidato accepts the office, he should also accept tho salary that goes with it and not the first thing upon entering upon his duties ask for a raise In salary, I did not approve of Mr. Page's action from the start, but upon seeing every councilman with the exception of one vote to raUe that salary and that my veto would have been overridden without doubt, I simply signed the bill, Page Must Act Alone. "Now that Mr. Page's salnry has beon raised to $1500 per year, I shall expect him to do the work required by the city, and he nuiBt do this work himself. No matter what the case may be, or how difficult the 'work, I shall Insist that the cltyi attorney act alone and any attempt to hire out side counsel hereafter will be opposed by me. "There Is no doubt but what the duties of the office of city attorney are many and that some tough legal nuts are to be cracked frequently. The salary as It now stands is not too high in my opinion, but I repent, the procedure followed by Mr. Page in securing the raise in salary Is not In accord with my views. Councilman Waring Explains According to Ouncllmnn Waring, a member of the old oouncll who was elected to the now body, the budget contained an extra $300 for use by the city attorney, but he says that at the time he voted for the additional amount he was not under the im pression that It was necessarily a (Continued on pace four.)

Neither of tho two attempts to use tho pruning knlfo In committee of tho wholo were nuecemful.

'TnderBtand me," said Howard, "I do not wish to opiose an appropria tion for the protection of the standing tlmlxir. But tho Are wardens that this money goes to pay, do not protect the timber.
