Show I lOur Our Municipal II I W WHILE RILE we are talking about g granting 7 better wages to the the- school teachers and to the policemen why not make a complete survey of our municipal affairs and see just how niggardly we are as as employers We would like to wager that we citizens making up this municipality are the stingiest t employers in the thc entire cit city Our school teachers for instance are paid as' as as as' low as a a a. y year ar Most ost of our big stores are paying more than that to their derks clerks and yet the profession of teaching requires more special Ii training and more application We pay our policemen nen a month and our firemen even I Iless less We Ve expect them to risk their lives for our welfare and they have been extremely faithful but we couldn't blame them if they I felt disgusted with the way we have treated them It is quite probable too that if an examination was wis was made of the city's payroll it would be found that numerous other persons persons persons per per- sons were working for starvation wages We suggest that the city commissioners investigate the the matter and see if there isn't some way in which we we can clear our official skirts of the charge of stinginess I |
