LORN LABORERS
Ackerson Obeys the Order
of the Board.
HE DISCHARGES HIS FORCE.
The Finance Committee to Investi-
gate the Financial Affairs of the
Street Department To-day.

On last Monday night the Board of
Supervisors adopted aresolution providing
that on and after date the Superinten dent
of Public Streets be limited to the en-
ployment of 100 men and to twenty-five
horses and carts.
Before this time the force In the employ
of the Street Department. amounted to
almost 800 men.
The limitation of the number to 100 was
made by the Board of Supervisors on the
recemm endation of the Finance Commit
tee. the members of which in investigating
Street Department accounts discovered
that the Street Department fund was
overdrawn over $4,000. and that the one
twelfth act was being violated.
When the board passed the order Super
intendent Acksrson said that he had a
hard road to travel. Those in bis employ
also quickly saw that they we're in danger
of losing their places. All wan ted to stay,
and none knew just whom Ackerson would
select as the favored ones In order to con-
form to the order of the Board Of Super
visors.
PAYERS and bricklayers. laborers. flush
ers, hammers and Sewermen, carpenters
and concretemen by the dozens hogan to
haunt the Street Department Office. and
MH k6 llIe q UuTucu u VIE
Four or five dollar a day positions were
not to be obtained every day. and all
pleaded hard with Ackerson to be Kept In
| employment.
The Street Superintendent said that he
must obey the board and, In looking over
the vast army of men in his employ, said
that he could not pick out those whom he
would want to stay. so he came to the con-
clusion that the best thing he conld do
would be to discharge them all and then
select 100 afterward. This would place all
on an equal footing and would leave no
cause of complaint against him.
| Accordingly yesterday que notice was
! given to his force that their services would
not be required until further orders
Of course, the order did not affect the
regularly employed deputies In the Office
of the SUPERINTENDENT
Superintendent Ackersen is much put
! out at the action Of the Supervisors. He
! acknowledges that he has overdrawn his
account, but claims that there was quite a
! large quantity of work he was compelled
! to do under the authorization OF the Board
! of Health and the Supervisors. which re-
! CURED large force OF men and was neces-
! sarily extensive.
| The Board Of Supervisors will meet this
morning as committee of the whole,
when Superintendent Aekerson will be
given a chance to explain the conduct of
/ his Office by which he overdrew his fund
some $4,000.
| The discharge of his entire force, of
! course. will compel the temporary STOP
page of all street work, such as repairing
/ of sewers and streets.

Wednesday night on Snattuck and Durant
avenues. He was dealt a terrific blow in
the back of the head with stone or piece
of iron in the hands of one of the men.
Watson, however, at once drew his knife
and turned on his assailants, who
took to flight. Watson chased them tour
blocks, the would-be hghwaymen firing
twice over his head. He traced them to
their clearinghouse. but through loss OF
blood he became faint and was forced to
give up the race. go to surgeon and have
his wound dressed. He cannot iden tify
