City council weighs salary boosts for police and firemen
The council considers an additional ten dollars monthly for city police and firemen. The police list ranges from patrolmen to detectives with a new starter at seventy dollars and raises planned for all ranks. Fire department pay scales run from seventy to eighty five dollars, with increased entries for the first years. Proposals also restructure street supervision splitting Waterloo east and west duties, replacing a single commissioner with two appointees. L G Matters resigns as street commissioner. Will Noy faces no cut in engineer salary at two thousand five hundred dollars. The plan suggests reducing each office salary to reflect new arrangements, while maintaining competent supervision.
