At this time, Brownson'was excused. . Mayor Large stated there had been some discussion about Mr. Scroggle who was employed as a painter. Mr. Barette reported that had been some discussion' about this ma tter and he had made inquiry of the different paint dealers and the best information he could get was that a flat painter on a yearly basis would not make over $100.00 per month on an average. He further stated he ~hought it was hard to find work for a painter to do during some of the winter months and that the present salary paid too high and that he strenouBly objected to the raise that was . provided in the 1942 budget. At this time, Pennington was excused. Councilm~ Farrington steted he was not particularly talking for Mr. Scroggie and that he did not know him prior to the time he went to work for the city, but that he thought they were only hearing one side of ~he case and that the matter should be put I over until Mr. Clubb could be heard from. Councilman Bond stated that while there might be some slack time during the winter, he thought if the city had to hire by day wages the work necessary trhough three quarters of the yaer, the cost would be more than the present setup of a yearly basis. It was decided to lay this matter 3 over until the next council meeting for further discussion. Mayor Large brought up the question of city employees working overtime in the different departments and Attorney Calkins was asked to explain the recent law concerning this matter. lVIr . Calkins read the statute and said it was his opini ,I that for overtime employees would be ent i tIed to one and half hours off for. every hour's overtime they had put in, or that the city could pay for this overtime at the same rate if it so desired. It was pointed out that the budget wet up did not provide for payments in cash. After some discussion regarding the matter, a motion . was mm.de by Bond. and seconded by Stewart that all the heads of the departments be instructed to not allow overtime work except in cases of emergency and the emergency to be determined by the head of. the department and that in case any overtime was necessary, time and half off should be allowed but that all overtime would have to be adjusted at the end of each month and not allowed to accumulate and time records should be kept by the head of the department. On vote of the council this motion 4 was unanimously carried. ~
