This was all the action taken on this
matter at the meeting or the council.

Committee Named
By a unanimous vote 'of the Coun-
meeting. it was moved that the Board
of Estimate and Taxation be request—
ed to ‘make appropriation of the
money necemary to pay the back 531-
ary and the increase of Deputy Fife
received a penny for his services since
1918. although he. has been a regular—
ly appointed deputy. and has never
been suspended from duty. the failure
to pay the salary. although it was ap-
propriated for at least two years, ly—
ing with the Donovan administration?
Councilman Charles F. Mills brought
the matter to the attention of the
Council last evening, saying that it
was a just bill and that it should be
paid; Chief McGowan entered the
service or the city 44 years ago in
1878,'and served for a number of
years Without compensation. and also
served as chief engineer without com-
pensation. \Vhen the city was con-
solidated and the new charter drawn
providing for three deputies. he was
one of those appointed and that ap-
pointment was never revoked. Up to
September: 1918, he received his pay.
but then it was stoppcd'by the Dono-
van administration and, from that
time until now. he has served the city
right along. Without a cent ot'rcorn—
pensation. He has never been remov-
ed from office. and his pay was appro-
priated for several years but was not
paid him. In 1920 all firemen's salar-
ies were raised, but he never even got
the. increase.

his services is not a. just one. then the .~

honest debt." .-
Councilman Joaeph R Ta.ylor,'e<m1- .. '
mittee on fire. moved that a request be
made of the Board of Estimate and
tTaxation— that the moneybe appropri-
Iated to pay the bill. which amounts;- _
to over $800.}1is first motion was
that the bill be paid, but Mayor Bar.
ton pointed out that this could not be
=done, because if the Estimate Board
didn’t vote the money then the;
amount of the bill would come outfit

members of the. Council.
