<br />"AN 0RDIN~NCE TO AMEI~ AIfD RE-ORDAIN SECTION ONE 0F
<br />AN 0RDINA~NCE ENTITLED ,AlT 0~RDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE
<br />REGULATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF TANES FOR THE S TORAGE

<br />
<br /> 5th ~Th~ee of the Deps~vtment heads have petitioned me one everal
<br />occasions to m~d~e ¢~rtsin salary adjustments among thei~ professior~l and skilled people, and
<br />upon investigation, I find that there a~e s~e inequalities in these ranges of salaries, and
<br />! should like permission to ma~e sl'ight adjustments in th~ salaries involving twenty-three
<br />people, ten o f whom are in the Water Department, ten i n the Welfare Department (nc~e of whom
<br />received any'bonus), and tbwee in the ~ngineering Department.
<br /> -- The total amount to msXe this adjustment for the remaining
<br />five months in this fiscal yea~, will be* ,~2,635.00, of which $630°00 will be paid by the State
<br />of Virginia, leaving a total appropriation by the City Coumc il of ~.2,005o00.
<br /> ~e have the resignation of one of on~ experienced pump men
<br />from the Water Department now, du.e to inadequate salary, and we expedt more to follow if some
<br />adjustments are not made. It .is impossible toreplace these people at the salaries we are pay-I
<br />ing for such services, and it zs my hope that we can keep the trained personnel in the posi -
<br />tions which require training, rather than s peril time and money in t raining new people.
<br /> I shall ~ppreciate ynu~ appropriating this fund, in order to
<br />make these salary adjustments for twenty-three City employees,a
<br />
