A three-man committee—Karlh Bull, Dr. Leo Anderson and J. C. Townsley—circulated the peti­ tion which objects to Salary boosts authorized recently by Ce­ darville council. Opposition, it is said, stems from the uncertain state of vil­ lage finances. An $18,000 damage suit is pending against the vil­ lage be cause of use *of an open sluice across the' land of H. A. Tyson, plaintiff in the action, for disposal of sewage. The petitioners, who also cited their village tax rate as being second highest in the county, said the salary ordinance would nearly double present pay of the councilman and the village mayor, clerk ‘.and treasurer.
