Two of these were brought before the Board and on being questioned, one admitted he has lived in South Bend only one month. The Board considered the matter, and in view .of the property belonging to the Boy Scouts of America, and the increased danger of linjury, the Board ordered that only the two recognized scavengers be permitted at the (land -fill. All others are to be ordered out and kept out. The Commissioner next took up the matter of a salary increase for the Poundmaster. The Commissioner recommended the Poundmaster be paid a salary of $3700.00. The Board approved the increased salary to be effective as of February 15, 1954, inasmuch as such increase is available out of the budgetary item for an assistant poundmaster. The Commissioner pointed out that the poundmaster is operating without an assistant, and upon this basis the Board considered this employee entitled to the increase.
