COUNCIL PUT8 8PEED OFFICER ON 8ALARY. I Speed oflicer James Dailey was put on a su'.ury, ut the regulur meeting of the council Tuesduy night. Several complaint! had been made, accusing the oflicer of arresting, for personul financial gain only. Although, the the council and a majority of the auto drivers in Amherst hud never thought oi' such accusation, Mr. Dailey wus put on a salary. With the new stute law going into effect today, regulating the speed of motor vehicles und penalties for vlo- luting the new law, the fines are not lo be less than $10 and costs. This Is r.ot a local ordinance regulating the fines, but a state lew Which must be carried out.

The minimum rate per month will be $2.00 The rulse In the rnte, was due to the t.n-i that the local company was not getting enough revenue from Its i ustomers to meet the running expenses, not Including additions and Improvements.

Of this amount (12,000 was given to the Elyrla Water Works, which left a total of $5,000 to be expended by the company for other purposes. Of this $5,000. $1,200 was paid out for taxes and $1,700 for other expenses, which left a balance of only $..100 for labor, materials, Improvements and additions. The compuny found thut the $2,100 was not sufllcient to meet the expenses of labor and materials, not Including the improvements, which must be added from lime to time as streets ure Improved and new customers are udded to the list. The council, in passing the new ordinance did not have nny Intention of inflicting a hardship upon the water customers and did not like to see the rate raised.
