REFUSE TO GIVE CITY A CHANCE TO VOTE ON JUDGES' RAISES Aid. Chas. Merriam tried last night to give the people a chance to tell whether they want to hand the mu nicipal court judges a 50 per cent in crease in salary. The judges are al ready getting $6,000. A raise of $9,000 was handed out by the council at the last meeting. It will cost the city about a quarter of a million more every year. Merriam wanted to amend the ordinance with a referendum clause to have it put on the ballot Merriam reminded the council that raises have been denied thousands of city employes who are making less than $3 a day. The city had an elec tricians' strike on its bands last year because it would not pay the union scale. To hand judges a 50 per cent increase, he said, was too much. Aid. Utpatel, himself a candidate W$ for the bench, boosted the $9,000. sal ary. Merria mlost out on the vote.
