Wood would be 9 Icoming up for a raise to ~126.67 in another month and that Mr. Bale had been !with the Engineering Department for a considerable time, then was on traffic ipainting and later put on the Street Department, and that he thought these two' :men should be entitled to a raise to $126.67 as of the first of April. Mr. Clubb ;explained that it was not necessary to worry about the salary of Mr. Bond as he :was sure he was quitting anyway as he had a job offered him that would pay about ,twice his present salary. Mr. Clubb also explained that these Street Department :men were already broken in as to how to handle the equipment and if they-put new imen out on theequipment they could do Inore damage to the equipment in a short time [than a full months salary would cost. Councilman Davis said he thought Mr. Clubb !was right about this and he thought these two men should have a raise. Councilman iStewart stated he thought the Ci ty was taking the wrong attitude and tha t just be- 'cause these employees had their homes and were located here he did not think we :should try to keep them on the payroll at starvation wages.
