It is not impossible -that undue hardship might not be worked by ill-considered regulations. For instance people having business premises on Third Avenue might suffer hardship if there were too tight regulations respecting parking. Some, for instance, fear their trade might be adversely affected if parking were prohibited in front of their stores. Some stores, too, it must be remembered are dependent upon their front doors or entrances for moving in and taking out of goods. There are many angles to be considered.

Now that the appropriation has been renewed and increased, it is to be hoped there will be no delay by the department in getting on with the job which should have been started last year.

Regarding the cost-of-living in Its relationship to firemen's salaries, the brief recalled that in 1939, a conciliation officer fixed the salary of a first-class fireman at Sl.410 a year. Considering the difference in the 'cst-of-livir.g index, which has risen from 101.5 in 1939 to 159.6 hi December, 1948, the wage scale should be $2,217. Last year, however, first-class firemen received $2,400, plus such perquisites &s superannuation contributions, uniform allowance, telephone and Medical Services Association payments. With these perquisites, a first-class fireman receiving $215 a month would actually cost the city $244 monthly, Mr. Brown stated. ru..r... mi iW"-n:r.n.

It has often been-conjured up just how much damage a certain kind of a westerly gale might do to the fleet . at that point. The breakwater would provide the needed protection. Possibly, the worst winds are now over for the present season although March and April have been known to stir the waterfront u up. In any case, now that an adequate appropriation has been made, the department would be well advised to speed the work during the coming season of good weather so that 'the protection may. be afforded before another boisterous fall and winter come around. The same need exists for speed in building the road to the fishermen's floats and float repairs, also provided for in these estimates.
