<br />COMMUNICATION
<br />The Common Council
<br />City of South Bend
<br />South Bend, Indiana
<br />Honorable Sirs:
<br />April 28, 1941
<br />In conformity with a decision of the police and fire departments jointly, we respectfully present for your serious
<br />consideration a request for salary increases in our respective departments.
<br />The acute need of experienced firemen and policemen by the United States Government and industry, and the attracti
<br />of better compensation for their services is likely to deprive municipalities of their more experienced police and
<br />firemen at a time when need of them is greatest.
<br />To avoid impairment of these two vital protective forces at a critical time like the present, it is important that
<br />the salaries of these departments be commensurate and comparable to those paid by private industry and the governm
<br />for similar services.
<br />Considering the trend of wages, the cost of living, and the more exacting requirements of modern fire fighting and
<br />police methods, we believe our claim to a salary increase is justifiable in every respect.
<br />Respectfully yours,
<br />THE JOINT WAGE C014MITTEE OF THE
<br />POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
<br />Leo Hunt, Chairman
<br />Co,unci.lman Niezgodski made a motion that the communication be referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Councilman
<br />Bishop seconded the motion. Motion carried.
