Doesn’t (Set Results,
He Insists
The board of Mtlmttu 1m dead
set afainst a I lowing Polio* Con
miMtonor Coutena any la*way in la
creasing th* salaries of hi* man on
a m«m system. and WeduestUjr told
tha police department haad that ha
•hould conform to th# ordinance of
the common council allowing the pa
trolmen |IOO a year increaae during
the flrat three yeara of their aer*
vie*.
Mai Koch, city treaaurer and one
of the eetimator*. suggested to the
police commissioner that he esiab
liah a ayatem of giving the men hon
orable mention for good work, and
to increaae aalariea only on the flrat
of each flaral year
"Honorable mention didn't build
up the Ford Motor company,” waa
the commissioner's somewhat heat
ed retort. "Honorable mention
doesn't get reaulta. The Ford Motor
company paid the money and got
the results That la what I want In
the police department.”
Richard Undsey, city clerk, and
Mr. Koch couldn't understand why
the police department should be al
lowed leeway In salary matters not
delegated to other city depnrtments.
Mr. Lindas), in particular, stated
that the board should take up each
item In the police budget separately,
and did not believe that the appro
priation should be allowed as a lump
sum to be expended as the police
commissioner saw flt.
”1 sec no the estima
fora should accii to know how the
money appropriated for tbe police
department la spent as long as we
get the reaulta," said Commissioner
Cousens “I want some means of
curbing crime In Detroit, and I see
the beat method in the pian that 1
have suggested both to the couucil
and to your body. The difference
between the minimum and mailraum
salaries of the patrolmen is wo email
it,.* i unable to understand »h) t
mr uiMiv of estimates should even
consider the Ptiilf,
"A good !>atrolman should be paid
for prevenilng crime, no matter how
b-ng he has served on the force I
m,i nt to furnlah the men sn incen
live for inod work, and the salary
promotion is the best way to fur
noh it.
' My plan won't cost the cltiten*
any more, and they will gat more
lor iheir money."
"if a man doesn't do his work
properly, why don't you Are him?”
was Mr. Lindsay's question to the
rom mission er.
"I do not belter* in Arlug men”
•aid the police head. "Sometimes
patrolmen don't develop In the Arst
year. If they are M per cent men.
ihey always get another chance”
The estimators sought to deter
mine whether a resolution adopted
hy them and sent along with the
budget to the council would curb
any intent lon of the police commie
stoner to carry out his own salary
plan. Assistant Corporation Coun
sel Tarsney was called In and asked
to submit a written opinion to the
board

America’s entry Into the world
war will have no early effect up«*n
the country's Ananclal structure, and
the withdrawal of MM>,OOO of the

any marked extent.
That is the opinion of Deircit

that they will be otherwise for some

posing a war loan of f7,000.000.©<H»
which unquestionably will be

the country.
One banker said:
"With the government’s course
not yet deAnltely outlined. Its arm.
and navy program still incomplete
and the Ananring of the war still
tj be determined upon, I consider
It exceedingly difficult at this tlm»‘
ko predict what business and Indus

"The Aoatlng of the $7.000.000.0<h>
