TO THE HONORABLE COIDMON COMTCIL: Gentlemen; The law privides• for the appointment by the Commissioners of Public Safety of an inspector of Weights and Measures and the Council shall provide for his eoppensatio and for his necessary apparatus and expenses, the same to be paid out of the city treasury. The inspector may also, when it is deemed advisable, act as inspector of Weights and Measures for the County and if the same person be so employed, the compensation and expenses of such inspector shall be devided between the City and County as agreed upon. The compensation shall not be less than $1,200.00 per annum in cities of the second and third class.' . Your Ronorable_ body, in its ordinance fixing salaries, fixed $150.00 per month as the salary to be paid by the City to said inspector. It has come to my attention that the County is also paying this inspector the sum of $119.00 per month,, making a total sum of $269.00 as his monthly compensation.. I have been informed that your Body wres not aware of the compensation which the present inspector was receiving, end that it fixed the $150.00 per month on the assumption that this was his entire. compensation. I would therefore recommend that you request the Fees and Salaries 00mmittee to investigate and make a report end if said compensation was fixed on a- minapprehension as to the salary paid him that the said Board of Public Safety be authorized to make an agreement with the County Commissioners as to the relative proportion of the salary to be paid, and an agreement as to the total amount of compensation to be paid. Very E. 0 truly yours, J. McErlein ityController.
