Crs, Darkness, Ryder and McLcavey spoke in support, the latter stating lie had moved in this direction years ago. Cr. Ryder considered a rise justified ami stated that i> would be an inducement for a working man to take office. In his opinion even £1 per day would not compensate a man for time lost.
