Lynn Figuring Up Her Losses-The City
Will Need Assistance.

LYNN, Nov. 27.-The city is today well pa
trolled by the militia, six companies, $50 men
in all, being on duty. The men are stationed
at the entrance of the ruined streetS barring
all approach to the burned district. Guards
are stationed at the stores that are but par
TALLY cleaned out TO prevent thieves from TAX
ing what is left OF the property. No one is per
mitted TO pass the guards without permit
from the city clerk. Through the associated
charities many families were furnished lodging
last night in rooms hired at lodging and DWELL
ing houses, and rations of hot soup, crackers
and bread are being served to all in need Of
food. As soon as some plan for assistance can
be devised the work of providing for destitute
families will progress rapidly.
THEY NEED AID.
Mayor Newhall in an interview SAYS: "Lynn
has suffered the greatest calamity in its history
The business portion of the city is almost a
wreck. Over 5000 persons are thrown out of
work and 200 families are homeless. The city
OF Lynn will be forced to issue an appeal for
assistance. am 10th to do so. but am obliged,
under the circumstances, to make such an ap-
peal. 1t is impossible to compute the loss but
il must reach somewhere in the vicinity OF
$40, ,000, ,000."
The mayor makes special appeal for cloth
ing at once, as many occupants Of the burned
tenements lost everything.
THE LOSSES.
Prominent manufacturers are now of the
opinion that the total loss will reach nearly
$4,000, ,OO0. The number of burned buildings
was 296, Of which 43 we're brick blocks; II2
wooden buildings used for business purposes
and i42 dwellings occupied by l64 families.
The number of laboring people thrown out of
work is estimated at 5000 That the progress
Of the flames was stopped is to the credit of
Chief Engineer Webber of Boston. who m assed
all the engines on Newhall street. and thus put
an end to their fun ther spread along the beach
toward Nahant. Chief Moody of the Lynn de-
partment had retired exhausted, and Webber
took command with the result of checking the
devastation.
THE REBUILDING.
The work of rebuilding will be as soon as the
ruins cool. B. F. Spinny, one Of the leading
shoe manufacturers and president of the Ma
tional security bank, takes a very hopeful view
of fLynn's future. He said The city has received
a hard blow and it is prostrated, but only for
time Phoenix like it will rise again and be
more prosperous than ever. Mr.. Spinny further
said that while the losses are heavy, nearly all
the firms will stand the shock, they have
good financial backing"

REORGANIZATION
Changes to be Made In the Office of the
First Assistant Postmaster General.

The change In the quarters occupied
by the clerks in the first assistant post
master generals Office, as outlined in yes
terday's STAR, will probably be followed by
q reorganization of the working force
of the Office. The details of the proposed
changes have not been decided upon. as the
Postmaster General and Mr.. Clarkson have not
had an opportunity of giving very much atten-
tion to the matter. The large amount Of work
which devoives upon this Office in connection
with the post Offices of the country and the
rapid increase in the amount Of this work
during the past few years has had the effect
Of making the system employed rather cum
brous.
EQUALIZATION OF WORK NECESSARY.
1t has also had the effect of bringing about
an unequal distribution of the work, so that
some men have more to do than they can well
attend to. 1t used to be that the chief clerk
Of the first assistants Office gave his personal
attention to the cases of presidential post Offices.
Now that work ls done by clerk who has as
sistants and the chief clerk has a multitude of
other details to attend to in connection with
may be said of the clerks in charge of the
various section desks. 1t is proposed to make
such an adjustment of the duties of the Office
as will relieve those who have too much to do
ana Will at the same time facilitate the public
business.
PERPLExINa PROBLEM.
In connection with this reorganization q
rather perplexing matter presents itself and
that is to what extent the public will be allowed
access to the section clerks who have charge of
the papers in the cases Of post Offices in the
various states During the sessions Of
Congress especially the time of these
clerks is largely taken up by
interviews with Senators, Representatives and
others interested IN the appointment OF post
masters. The first assistant, Mr. CIarksou and
the chief clerk, Mr.. Fowler, are also inter-
viewed and the question arises whether II 10
necessary to have this chain of interviews ex-
tended through the entire clerical force of the
Office. e
IT IS PROPOSED
to close the doors to the rooms of the clerks
and limit the personal efforts of office seekers
and their friends to Mr.. Clarkson and Mr..
Fowler. Whether such plan will be carried
out or not has not yet been decided. 1t is
thought that members of Congress will make
decided kick" at such an abridgement Of their
privileges, but ON the other hand the plea of
the public interests and more efficient serv-
ice can be set up.
