The endorsement was made yesterday by the Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the AFL-CIO. "MR.

Alexander Looby, has served as long. Lillard is seeking the office of vice mayor rather than reelection to the council. The vice mayor presides over sessions of the council and votes only in the event of a tie.

I know that I possess the dedication."

HE REQUESTED the increase for administrative positions, process servers, court officers, Metro Jail and Workhouse employes.

The salaries cover a broad range from $414 per month for a Metro jail supervisory field man to $910 per month for the chief deputy.

Pollution Arrest Warrants Issued Warrants for the arrest of Larry Howard of Lebanon, accused of violating Metro's antipollution ordinances, were sworn out yesterday by the Metro Health Department. Paul Bontrager, director of the air pollution control section of the Health Department, swore out the warrants against Howard for allegedly allowing four giant piles of underbrush to be burned on a 10-acre tract of land at Trinity Lane and I-65 last Wednesday. HOWARD SAID he works for Tri-State Paving and his mother has linked him with the R.

Bontrager said yesterday that if Howard is held responsible for the two-day burning he could be fined $50 for each day.
