discussed at some length. it was
shown that the department' in this

ment has been so satisfactory in the
past that the least that might bei
done to show the appreciation of the
city of their fine work was to grant
an increase of seventy—five cents per
day in order that they could meet
the present day standard of the
high cost of living. ..
