Dear Sirs: , This being the time of year that is given over to the matter of budgeting the annual expense and salaries; I as one of the business men of the city ask your consideration as to the maintenance of certain levels and matters of justice as far as salaries go, as received by the different City Officers. It is my opinion that to do any amount of "cutting" is very retro- active to th a business men of the town, and should not be used as a way to gain the ends of economy. It is very harmfull and I can see no reachiAg results .from a tearing -down plan of operation: Too as a business man it is my opinion that these men are all loyal to their community and should it be that any of them are paid very commensuately, that even then the community is prospering in turn with their spending, and in the eventuality the liquida- tion of monies is for the better. Lowering of standards is one of our biggest fights and should not be an excuse for economical action. It is my opinion that the plan of Scrip Money while not having accepted has some of the same elements in its operation as does any money system ---------- turn over. We as Citizens must today stand for our standards---- We must look upon standards to some extent; patriotic. Today our president says; "Buy Now". To lower salaries destroys buying power to the degree of the lowering and robs the man of that opportunity to serve and contribute to prosperity. As a business man of this community I ask you to be very careful in the lowering of any salaries if any. r r Very truly yours, L.W.Veents " Alderman Amundsen introduced a resolution fixing the salary of the City Clerk at $2997iOQ for the ensuing official year, which was read.
