Meeting called to order by the Chairman.
The City Manager and Chief of Police next submitted a proposal for a 10%

salaries of the police department be increased 10~, effective as of December 1, 1947,

necessary funds for granting this increase, and that the remainder of the force work
nine hours per day instead of eight.
Seconded by Commissioner Bishop and carried.
