should limit the employment OF labofors
10 eigh, hours, between the hours OF q
oSncK n. m. ahd q O'Clock ?. M, and
lsiyo the hours of night labor unrostrict-
%. Night labor, ~ IL well known, is
much more wearing on tho constitution
Of man than day labor.

Iy reason of the complex nature OF the
work covered 10y contracts OF tho nature
referred Ia In the bill there must OF
necessity be- many violations oithc bill by
every CONTRACTOR violations OF minor im'
porinncc working little or no damage t.
the city; yet under tho bill the contractor
would nevertheless be- liablr upon each

DOUBT whether any prudent business
man could be- found who would oniol
