There was discussion on the allowable amount of raise we could give under the wage restrictions. Mr. Locher said it was his understanding that these restrictions did not apply to municipalities.

Mr. Jaworski will complete a comparision cost between an established garage and our own shop on these cost. Motion carried with Mr. Marier abstaining. Mr. Zelinka moved to raise the laroberes and truck drivers salaries from 3.25 per hour to 3.75 per hour. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. Marier said his understanding was that when wehired a full time man that the total wages would be lowered but from looking at the payroll he felt that this was not happening. Mr. Jaworski said this was because we have such a backlog of work that should have been done a long time ago and the work is being done sooner and better. The overall cost is more but were doing more work and were hauling the sewage. Motion carried with Mr. Marier abstaining.
