Alderman Cowan said that he hoped the
city marshal would see that the ordinance
is enforced. Marshal Macarthur said he
understood the proposed match was for

pressed himself individually as not OPP
posed, nut as an official he could not per-
init II without the consent of the mayor.

genee ojiiee and employment agency
He had received some: 800 or 600 com
plants from parties stating that this firm
had advertised To give employment, con-
tractcd with them To get work for them,
charged a certain fee and after receiving
il failed TO perform their part of the ON
tract. They cvadedp punishment by point
ing 10 this sentence In the receipt given
applicants: But in no event will this
company agree to refund the Uoney or
guarantee work." The city attorney
stated that the employment agencies are
doing work under license from the city and
are playing a sure thing game which
is rapidly making their fortune. The city
attorney asked the council to revoke the
license hat the employment agencies
might be run out of W Mr.. Corbett
was instructed To draw up a resolution re-
voking the license of 4. NJ. O~ppcnheim,
which was done. Tho city attorneys az
tcntion was called to the fact that there is
also an employment agency i'm East Park
street and he said he would look into il.
