upward rapidly. Prices have advanced
from 81 per foot TO 81 and IS. and the

CITY TO HELP UNEMPLOYED LABOR.

To Borrow $1,000 for the Street and Alley
Fund for That Purpose-The Amount
Left Out of the $50, 900 appropriations
Other Matters of Importance Coming up
for Attention.
At last nights semi-monthly meet
ing of the city council, Mayor Medill
read a special message relating to
the condition of the street and alley
fund. Out of $4,000 appropriated
at the beginning of the fiscal year,
the mayor set forth but 81. 256.43 re-
manned uncNpended, this being due
to the immense amount of street
work done during the year in the
way of permanent improvements. n
large part Of which was contracted
for before the year opened and the
present administrator was entered
upon. The MAYOR called attention
to the great number of unemployed
in the city in consequence of the
suspension of factories, many of
whom naturally turned to the city
for work, and he pointed out the duty
of. the city in the premises. He recon-
mended the negotiation of u loan OF
$4,000 which he felt would not only
enable the city to give employment
to many who were now dependent
upon it, but would carry the mum
! cipality through the winter. and UNI
| til the time came to make the an
nual appropriations next spring
The suggestion, an exceedingly
timely and Thoughtful one. on The
part of the mayor. met with the
unanimous approval of the council
and the money will be borrowed
! forthwith.
