Wages Cut Spark Police Grading Plan Amid Election
The city police plan to restructure pay and ranks Friday with first grade at two dollars a day and second grade at one fifty. Commission Jones opposes the plan saying it degrades the force and lowers skilled officers. The reform aims to constant staffing at 130 on duty, replacing 123 patrolmen and 23 supernumeraries under the current system.

City Police Salary Dispute Sparks City Council Battle
The police board may face a legal test over whether it can alter patrolmen salaries without city council ordinance. Section 438 fixes patrolmen at two dollars a day, yet modern practice shows salaries at five dollars, with debate over board power to raise or lower pay. Commissioner Patterson says the board can lower but not raise salaries. Mayor Woodward was absent, delaying comment. The police force was inspected by the board, with a changed procedure, and Chief Manly called for applicants to report for exams Thursday at 10.00.
