to meet the estimated deficiency the Commits
sioner will make other dismissals. His list Of

Mr.. Andrews said 1t was nm un pleasant duty to
dismiss these men. and he hoped to be able to
reinState some OF them.
There is some talk on behalf Of the en-
plOyees OF seeking reinstatement by the
courts. 1t Is asserted that under the new
street cleaning law the mon cannot be re-
moved unless their unfitness or negligence is
proved at a hearing on charges.
Commissioner Andrews's action reduces the
force Of street aweepers to about ], OOO-not a
sufficient number to clean the streets by the
block system which the law requires. Mr..
AndreMs Is not an aemirer Of the block sys-
tenn. He advocates the working Of the hand
