Haas moved the adoption of the various reports of the Board of Health. Carried. Mayor Schunk presented and read the following: Dubuque, Iowa, April 30th, 1908. To the Honorable Council, City of Du- buque: Dear Sirs: - -I herewith submit the re- port of the committee of the whole, adopted by motion at the last regular session of the City Council held on Thursday, April 16, 1908, reducing the salaries of the various appointive city officers. To begin with, I believe that it is a bad example to set to other employers of wage earners, to have the City of Dubuque take the initiative in wage reduction. This is one of the strongest objections I have to the action taken. Further than that, and with all due respect and courtesy to those of this honorable body who differ with me on this proposition, I submit that the scale of wages it is sought to change is not too high, but on the contrary, appears to be eminently fair and rea- sonable. We have competent men in control of the police and fire depart- ments, and should pay them the salaries due intelligence and fitness. What we all desire is the highest possible effi- ciency--and that is never compatible with low wages. The salary of $125.00 per month paid the Chief of the Police and the Chief of the Fire Department. is certainly not excessive in a city of this size and metropolitan importance. The other salaries paid are only fair in proportion with these. When we under- take to reduce the meagre salaries of then getting but $45.00, $50.00, $60.00 or $65.00 per month, we are putting the knife into the very marrow of their ex- istence, because, under the present high cost of living, it will be depriving them of the means of comfortable subsist- ence. The old salary list that it is sought to restore was in effect when the cost of living was at least twenty -five per cent. lower than today. I therefore return to you herewith, the report of your committee of the whole reducing salaries of appointive officers, adopted on motion by this Council at its last regular session, and hereby veto the motion that carried adopting the same. Respectfully, H. A. SCHUNK, Mayor. Ald. Frith moved that the original motion reducing the salaries of the var- ious appointive officers be again adopt- ed. Carried by the following vote: Yeas. —Alds. Frith, Haas, Martin O'Rourke, Rand, Saul and Singrin. Nays —None. .Ald. Frith moved that the salary of (.he second clerk in the Treasurer's of- fice be fixed at $60.00 per month. Car- ried. Ald. O'Rourke moved that the recom- mendation of Treasurer Brinkman, ap- pointing John McKinley Deputy Treas- urer and John Krayer clerk in the Treasurer's office, be approved. Car- ried. Ald. Frith moved to adjourn to Thursday evening, May 7th, 1908. Car- ried Approved 190.. A ttest: EDMUND A. LINEHAN, City Recorder. Mayor Recorder. List of City Warrants Dubuque, Iowa, April 1, 1908.
