Optimism
Shown In
Election
Orange police and firemen
are optimistic about the out-
come of tomorrow's election to
raise their salaries, in spite of
the fact that city officials have
made a counter-proposal of a
smaller increase.
They are asking that mini-
mum salary be raised from $348
to $398 per month.
This would raise the salaries
of first, second and third class
firemen and police.

A sharp eye was kept on as-

whether disturbing symptoms

So far, in tests aboard the

project) that are qualified for
