TO THE COUNCILMEN OF THE CITY OF SALINA: Regarding Ordinance No. 1844, entitled,•,"An Ordinance fixing the compensation and salary of the City Attorney, etc.,!' passed by you May 17, 1915, in which you fixed the salary of that office at One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per annum straight salary and eliminated the system -of. -turning to the City Attorney, Three Dollars ($3.00) fees in each case of conviction in the Police Court. I wish to say that while I heartily approve placing this, and all other City offices, upon a straight salary basis and doing away with the cost or fee system heretofore practiced, I do feel that the salary allowed should be of such an amount, as will return a fair compensation for the services to be performed, and will enable the City,: -to acquire the services of a competent attorney for that position. The City of Salina is able and should be willing to.allow fait wages for good work. There is no economy in inefficient services, particularly in as important case as this office. In looking over the records for the past four years, I find that for the year ending June lst, a showing as follows: 1912. 270 Cases. Fees. $598.00 Salary. $500.00 Total. $1098.00 1913. 318 " " 784.50 " 500.00 " 1284.50 1914. 347 " 613.00 " 500.00 " 1113.00 Making a total for three years of $3,495.50, exclusive of $600.00 fees paid City Attorney in the Water Works case, or generally speaking about 01,200.00 per year outside of compensation for special services. On May 18, 1914 this same body, apparently recognizing the fact that the above compensation was inadequate for the services required., voluntarily increased the salary of this office $400.00 per annum, which with the same amount of additional emolument, derived through the Police Court, as received during the previous three years, put the salary. virtually upon a $1,600.00 per annum basis. Owing to the increased Police Court business for the year ending June 1, 1915, viz., 754 cases, from which the Attorney received $1,238.00, with the salary of $900.00, making a total of $2,138.00, which I believe is excessive, but I do feel in the face of the natural increase in work to be performed, that your conclusions of a year ago, when you placed this office on virtually a $1,600.00 per annum basis, were nearer just and equitable, than the sum of $1,000.00 allowed by this ordinance, and as I cannot conscientiously feel that the services required are worth less than $1,200.00 per annum, I am compelled to disapprove this ordinance* therefore, veto same.
