Those salaries raised were City Attorney A. E. Pratt, from $200 to $250 per month; City Recorder Robert A. Moyes, from $175 to $200 per month; and Assistant City Auditor Marcus Critchlow, from $185 to $200 per month, -- effective August 1. Savings to the city have been effected by each of the parties, it is claimed by the commission. Mr. Pratt has handled the legal business of the city in a very capable manner without any outside help by devoting his entire time and attention to the city. Mr. Moyes was given an increase on the strength of collecting nearly $4000 in fees ahead of last year and for bringing the work of the recorders office up to date. Mr. Critchlows salary was raised as a reward for long and faithful service. When the matter was first discussed, Commissioner Fred E. .Williams objected to any raise in salaries on the grounds that a general demand from all city departments for increases would immediately follow.
