FIREMEN THIIIK Mi INCREASE DUE THEM

Are Of Opinion They Are Not Getting Enough Pay From The Municipality.

POINT TO POLICE BOOST.

COMPLAINT OF THE FIREMEN IS JUSTIFIED IN THE OPINION OF PRESIDENT MERRILL OF THE WORKS BOARD.

ly hard to secure suitable men for the fire service under the present scale of wages, owing to the high scale of wages men now receive in other lines of business. He also states that the life of a fireman does not appeal to most men.- , They are constantly on duty, being obliged to live in the fire department houses, away from their families and with only one day of lib

erty in each ten. "The firemen earn

every cent that they make," remark

There is a general sentiment among " the members of the Richmond fire department that they are not receiving money enough for their services. The board of public works is aware of this sentiment, although so far a3 lenown, the firemen have made no complaint to the board. It is up to

council to raise the salaries of the fire

men, but it i.-j extremely doubtful if

this step will be taken at the present

time, owing tonne-fact that the city 1s seriously financially embarrassed. Firemen receive $0O a month and lave been receiving this stipend for years. The action of the board of police commissioners a few days ago in advancing the salaries of the police officers from $ to $70 per month, had the effect of making the firemen much more dissatisfied. Members of the fire department do not make their complaints public, as they have no desire to court trouble, but suggestive remarks dropped by firemen lifter the announcement of the increase in the wages of the police officers, indicate that there is general ciis?at isfrction. Complaint Is Justified. President Merrill of the board of rtubiie works, is of the opinion that the salaries of the members of the fire department are entirely too small for the work these men are required to do but he did not indicate what stand the board would take on the. agitation to raise the salaries of the fire fighters. The "boost" given to the patrolmen's wages increased the annual pay roll of the city $1,020. By paying the firemen $70 a month, it would mean that the annual payroll of the city woud again be increased, this time

about .$2,400. The city officials are in doubt whether the municipal bank Recount could be stretched to meet this latter expense. Suitable Men Scarce. Mr. Merrill states that it is extreme-

FUNERAL ON WEDNESDAY.

Nathan Martin, whose death was announced Monday in the columns of this paper, was the first rural route mail carrier out of the Richmond postoffice, and began his duties under Perry J. Freeman, who was at the time of the installation of the service, postmaster of Richmond. Mr. Martin's route lay through the, northern part of the county and he became acquainted with many people during his service on the route. A few months after being appointed however, he withdrew from active services as regular carrier and Alexander Martin, his son, took the position, carrying for his father. The funeral of Mr. Martin will be Wednesday afternoon from the home, 913 Northwest Fifth street, at two o'clock. Burial will be in Earlham cemetery. Friends may call any time.

Everett Bradfield, a bridegroom of three months, is in serious trouble. Mrs. Bradfield, a pretty young woman, Monday filed charges in Justice L. G. Abbott's court chargiug her husband with desertion and that his intentions were fraudulent when he married hr. Bradfield was arrested Monday afternoon and spent Monday evening in the city jail. When arraigned in the justice of peace court, on a motion of his attorney, W. C. Converse, the hearing of the case was postponed until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.

It is probable that Bradfield will enter a plea of not guilty. In her complaint Mrs. Bradf.'eM states that on January 2, this year, she was married to Bradfield after having filed a charge against him in Justice Abbott's court.. She alleges that lie treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner after the marriage and she further states in her complaint that his intentions in marrying her were fraudulent, citing the fact that he deserted her on the sixth day of this month. In cases where a man is united in marriage to woman after such t proceedings have been brought against him the law provides a severe penalty if the woman is deserted within two years after the date of the marriage.
