Attest:- GTZ� Cl �v i Clerk 41 January 2, 1926 A special meeting of the City Council was held on Saturday, Janu- ary 2, 1926, at ten o 'clock, for the purpose of receiving a special message from His Honor, Mayor George J. Bates. All the members were present except Councillors Farrington, McGrath and Greeley. The Presi- dent presided. The. following communication was read and laid on the table: 'Leto of Mayor's Office, January2 1926 Salary � , Ordinance Gentlemen of the City Council: 1381 An ordinance passed by your honorable body on December 31, 1925, relating to the compensation of the Mayor and certain city officers, clerks and employees, has reached the Mayor's office for consideration. Because provision must be made in the budget for school salary increases it would have been properly a matter for the Mayor, in reaching a con- clusion in the matter before him, to consider such school increases; but since the ordinance passed its first reading the school salary in- i creases have been denied by the School Committee, and the reasons given by the 11 ayor in opposing school increases apply here and can only be restated. In the advocacy of proposed salary increases it is always pointed out 'that other places pay more than Salem for one form of service or another. The detailed financial situation differs so much in the vari- ous cities even of the same population, there are such special local conditions in respect to valuation, territory and property to be covered by police and fire departments, size and number of schools, bonded indebtedness and borrowing capacity, and other elements unneces- sary to mention, that wage and salary comparisons have little relevancy. We regulate our financial affairs without reference to other places just as we do our individual affairs without reference to other persons. With cities, as well as individuals, the special situation is governing. The compensation Salem pays for services of any nature is not small, It is regulated by our financial limitations and the requirements of the service as to .time given and qualifications necessary in particular branches, and is , all things considered, just and fair. A considera- tion of the salaries of any officials, whose cases may be instanced as an exception, is precluded here because the Mayor is considering the ordinance as a whole and as involving a general salary increase. The Mayor must face his work in a judicial spirit and view our I 42 January 2, 1926 Veto situation as an entirety and see that financial provision is made for T _ important work that must take precedence. Expense for the construction of the South Essex Sewer awaits us and a new high school addition seems imperative . Street construction and repair must proceed with regularity while extraordinary and unforseen expenditures enter into the experience J of every city government. The memorial band stand on the common and the cost of the celebration of our three hundredth anniversary are examples a of these extraordinary expenses; additions to the regular appropriations frequently occur and the Mayor during his term has made several depart- ment allowances in addition to the amount originally appropriated. To the appropriation of V660000 for the public welfare department , for ex- ample , he added in November 816,000 to carry the department through the balance of the year. Such humanitarian work, and other work of a grave nature , cannot be curtailed to help provide salary increases nor can such increases be allowed to add to our present measurably high tax rate The proposals for salary increases in our schools and in the police and fire departments have been rather persistent , as if some injustice was being done. The work in these departments is constant and the com- pensation is certain, in marked contrast to much other private employ- ment, subject , as it is , to reduced compensation and enforced idle periods due to fluctuating industrial conditions. The erection of a high school addition will cost over 1-400 ,000. To finance this project it will be necessary to avail ourselves of our entire borrowing capacity during the coming year. It would thus become impossible for us to borrow money for permanent street work in the sea- son approaching and funds for this purpose would be available only from the tax levy or from whatever free cash we may have on hand. If we desire to keep within the tax rate of last year and charge these salary increases to the tax levy or the excess and deficiency account , it is obvious that permanent street work must cease or be restricted consider- ably for lack of funds. Such discontinuance or restriction of permanent street work is highly undesirable because permanent building reduces the annual street maintenance charges which have now mounted to an annual expense of about $�40 , 000. A later automatic increase in our present borrowing capacity which is based by general law on an average three year valuation, must be awaited because it is contingent and cannot be anticipated as a basis for present expenditures or salary increases. It is undesirable to 43 January 2, 1926 seek special legislation to increase our borrowing capacity except in Veto very special situations. The proposed salary increases might make such special legislation necessary if we are to do, also, the work now facing us. So much unity of thought and action has characterized our relations that I regret to differ with your honorable body in the matter before me and so have entered at length a part of the objection to the proposed legislation. On the foregoing, the ordinance is herewith returned without my approval. Respectfully submitted, George J. Bates Mayor. Councillor Seamans, chairman of the special committee on salaries , Committee on said that he regretted that the Mayor could not see his way clear to Salaries approve, at least, some of the advances recommended, notably that for the City Auditor and some others of similar nature. He thanked the Committee for their loyalty and their unanimous agreement on the recom- mendation of the ordinance as submitted. Councillor Fit zgerald said that it needed no explanation on his part to justify his action. The inequalities of our salaries and wages, as compared with those of others cities, is a sufficient reason to en- deavor to give the increases requested. The Committee had agreed to report unanimously and had stood by the opinion of the majority of their members. In recommending the increases, the office and not the person ; holding it was considered. In every instance where an increase was requested it was justified by the services rendered. The Mayor might well have found a way to finance the increases from the revenue from new taxation, which is anticipated in the near future. President Doyle stated that under the provisions of h Y P the City Charter Decision on the Mayor's veto cannot be acted upon for seven days, and as the present nction on Veto City Government would go out of existence in two days, on January 4, 1926 i no further action could be taken on the Mayor's veto. On motion of Councillor Seamans, the board adjourne at .18 o'clock A. M.

I am, therefore, writing you this letter by the authority of the Board of Directors to inform the City of Salem that this company not only makes no claim to having any authority or control of said covering, but expressly disavows having any such authority or control.
