In addition to the regular salary, last year, as city civil engineer,
an appropriation of $300 was made by the council raking the total salary,
received for the year, by that officer, $1,800.
"The increase in the salary of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart-
ment is especially commendable. The office is one of great responsibility,
demanding an experienced, quick, courageous, comm inding man. It is also
a difficult, hazardous, expensive, and annoying office. Five hundred dol-
lars was a salary altogether too small for a good Fire Engineer, and
Cleveland ought not to have any but a good one." - (4)
