City Council's Action Arouses Residents' Ire Annual Meeting May Resolve Into Session Of Mass Indignation Glen Cove, Jan. 6 The annual meting of the Glen Cove Taxpayers Association tonight called for the election of officers, in expected to turn into a mass meeting to protest the pay Increases given to two city commissioners. The City Council, by a three to 2 Vote Friday night, approved an annual pay Increase of $800 each to Commissioner of Public Works John P. Lange and Commissioner of Pub-lie Safety Fred Pond. The pay raise brings each salary to $2,000 a year.

Commissioners Bond and Lange voted along with Mayor Harold F. Mason approving the pay raises. Commissioner of Finance Harvey L. Doxey and Commissioner of Accounts Bogart Seaman cast negative votes. For the past two years the question of granting pay increases to the two city officials has created civic Uprisings In the community.

When the City Council sought to raise the two commissioners' salaries in 1937, shortly after the local election, the Glen Cove Taxpayers Association, along with other groups, protested. Some claimed the City Council was attempting to "pull a last one." They argued that If the two men were entitled to raises the money for the increase shculd be included in the budget. The 1938 budget failed to specify money for salary increases. The matter was dropped for a year. At a public hearing several weeks back, to air the sentiments of the local taxpayers concerning the pay raises, which had been included in the 1939 budget, the City Hall was Jammed to capacity.

Almost 100 persons were forced to remain outside the hall, Several plainclothes policemen were scattered throughout the audience to maintain order. After a stormy session, during which the majority of persons who spoke registered protest against the proposed raises, the City Council retired without voicing a decision. At a special meeting Friday the coun-c" voted the pay increases.
