ON HIGH IRON To the railroad man, the fact that we were running the high Iron (top and center track) of ihe old Wabash Can- nonball route was most significant.

You write for your newspaper, Pres. Leland Stanford and his party almost didnt make it to Promontory Summit. The locomotive of the private CP train to Utah was badly damaged by a rolling log and the two cars had to join the regular CP train at Wadsworth. TARGET DATE The locomotive, Jupiter, will be in the limelight here with Union Pacific's US, if and when the ceremony gets off the ground. May 8 was to be the big day, but Union Pa- a are Dretty close to an agreement with the city on salary adjustments. Tne survey of police wages in 19 cities comparable in size to Salt Lake City, cited Ttasday by Cameron, should be used only as a guideline In determining local police salaries, the personnel director said. 22 PER CENT Results of the survey indicated- policemen in those cities are paid an average of 22 per cent higher than Salt Lake City. The figures, however, are not necessarily representative of police pay in the Mountain West, Marsh noted. Also indicated in the report was that Salt Lake City firemen receive an average of 50 less a month than firemen in the 19 cities. Salt Lake City pays its patrolmen a starting monthly salary of 490, with the scale progressing upward to 616. DESERVE MORE It is obvious Salt Lake police officers deserve more pay because the dty of Bountiful starts its patrolmen at 526 a month and the scale ranges up to $685, Marsh said. A previous offer by Marsh ; would start city patrolmen at 514 and extend the pay range . to 778, with longevity" rais- es offered at 9, 12 and 15 years. The union objected to this pro- posal because it would mean no raises of any kind during ; three years. STAY CONSTANT Salt Lake City firemen also start at 490 a month and Marsh wants to see police and ' fireman starting salaries remain constant He is awaiting a report by the Department of Employment Security on the average salary of local electricians, auto mechanics, carpenters, painters and pipe fitters working in manufacturing.
