Bonus Plan Suggested To Meet Pay Increases
Corporation Counsel Charles Reed proposes a state sanctioned bonus plan to cover higher salaries for city officers police and firemen without permanent raises. If allowed by law, bonuses could raise the annual tax budget by about 100 dollars, easing abnormal costs from price shifts. Firemen and police have sought raises, while the school teachers could see a forty five percent increase under the plan. The Common Council ponders how to balance requests with potential tax rate hikes and avoid a large citizen bill.
