1Opinion of the CourtField, J.
The question which the petitioners seek to have decided in these proceedings is whether certain pa*579trolmen of the police department of the city of Boston are entitled to increases of pay in the year 1932 upon the respective anniversaries of their appointments, under á schedule of pay and salaries established for the department in 1920, and modified in 1924 and 1928, providing for annual increases of pay — described as “step-rate” increases — until a maximum amount is reached. The respondents contend that this question cannot properly be decided in any one of these proceedings.
