Hinkle and Council: City of South Bend. The Northwest Citizens Club of South Bend, in its rescent meeting of officers and executive committee have arrived at the following resolutions in reference to the proposed policementa, and firemen's cuts in salaries. Wheras, President Rooseivelt in his recent message to the American people prevailed upon employers to increase wages, it would be a poor example and a definite lack of cooperation for the City of South Bend to place a wage reduction into effect at this time. Wheras, the firemen and policemen worked for comparatively low wages during times of prosperity ht would seem only reasonable at this time to compensate them with a comfortable living wage. Furthermore, the wage szcale for these city employees-must be such that the salary will attract men of better caliber to protect our city and render conscientious service.. The Northwest Citizens Club wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation and,fine wo k done recently by the Board of Safety, the Board of Works and the Park Board. However it also expresses its dissatisfaction with the Street Department and suggests that some changes be made so that the streets be kept in cleaner and better condition. It is also suggested that the Park Board be comprised of men from representative parXts of the city, that is, one member on the board from every park district for fair and proper representation. Economy measurev should be taken with caution, giving particular attention to various offices alLd salaries which are not so vital to the city and its welfaoe.
