GAVE HIM A VERY"SOFT" JOB
Board of Works 0versteps It's Authority
and Creates a Useless Office.
Hustling Ward Politician Chosen TO Fill the
Place reet-Sweepers Punched Up
Miscellaneous City Affairs.

Yesterday morning the Board of Public
Works. after its regular session. adjourned
to the executive chamber and appointed
ex-Deputy City Clerk Bushong inspector of
street sprinkle ling aud sweeping at monthly
salary of 500. He will have TO furnish
buggy and horse at his own expense if he
feels the need of one. Bushons was not
among the list of applicants given out yes
terday morning
What use upon earth there can be for an
inspector of sprinkling is one of those
things past finding out The presumption
is that the sprlnkling contracts were let to
responsible bidders. who will either see to
il that their employees do the work or stand
liable to the city on their bonds. 1t is not
like the business of paving, where poor
work might pass for a long time without
discovery; if the sprinkling is not properly
done residents along the streets will CON-
plain very quickly.
The charter gives the Board of Public
Works no authority for the appointment of
such an officer until the Council creates
the office. and this the Council has not
done. However. there has been frequent
occasion heretofore to remark that the Sui
livan administration never permits a little
thing like the charter to stand In It's way.
Tie appointment of Bushong gives
strong color to the theory that the Office is
thus illegally created for the sole purpose
of giving q political fne-worker In ward
primaries and local conventions an easy
job where he will be paid Sl00 per month
for doing nothing.
Among those who were applicants for the
position of sprlnkling inspector are B. L.
Rogers. NJ +. Rudolph, Samuel q. Green.
Morris Solomon, August Werner. John w.
Rise and Robert Duncan.
