favor OF the spirit OF the resolution. But
he believed that 75 cents was not enough.
It would cost the laborers from 10 to 20
cents for car fare and as a result there
would remain as the balance OF the days
compensation 90 or 90 cents. He moved
an amendment substituting the sum OF II.
Aid Olney was in favor of the amend
ment, but he feared that IL the board
adopted 1t that the matter would be in
definitely postponed and thereby defeat
the charitable object for which 1t was
designed.
Alderman Gilmartin said that the mayor
had the power to convene the city coun-
ell in special session at any time. III the
aldermen believe that they ought to pay
dollar instead of 76 cents, the common
council will probably concur in the
amendment.
Alderman West believed that the city
could afford 10 pay the dollar. Contractor
slavin at Davis park paid his labor si.50
per day, and IL he could make money at
that price the city ought 60 be able 10 do
likewise. lie believed that preference
should be given 90 the discharged en-
ployes i'm the public works department.
This was skilled labor and IL they were
paid s1.5o per day in one department and
did good work, they ought not to receive
less sum i'm another department.
IL was the duty OF the city council to pay
labor what IL Is worth and not attempt TO
make n profit out OF them. He regarded
75 cents as sort OF bluff at charity and
the Union railroad company would get
two-thirds of the wages paid to them. II
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-12-22

these men can do good work, and 1t had
got to be done and there was sufficient
money, why not employ these men at a
reasonable sum.
Alderman Little was OF the opinion that
the compensation should be fixed i'm con-
formity with the weather conditions. IL
il was an open winter, they were entitled
to more compensation. lie thought they
ought to be given employment at once,
and fix the pay proportionately.
Alderman Ballou thought that
II was purely an economic ques-
ton and not how much wages
they could save. The vital question
is what can the city do for the needy
and destitute people. In 1857 the city
paid for similar labor 30 cents and now in
1894 they sought 10 raise IL TO 70 cents.
II IL was an ordinary question he should
favor the payment OF si.50, but he regard
ed IL as matter OF emergency and neces-
sity.
Alderman West said that the mills had
given employment to a large number OF
applicants for charity. lie said that the
city did not let up on the taxes and assess
ments upon the poorer classes, and yet the
disposition seemed TO be TO cut down the
rate OF payment to an Insignificant figure.
Alderman Lansing argued In support
of the amendment, saying that IL these
laborers were employed at the park, they
should be given wages sufficient TO ensure
hearty food and plenty Of II for them
selves and their dependents.
The roii-oall was taken on the amend
ment, Alderman Little alone voting In

the negative. The resolution as amended
was then unanimously adopted.
No Board of Fire Commissioners
Alderman Ballou moved concurrence
with the council in the bill vesting the
control and management of the fire de-
partment in board of commissioners.
Alderman West raised the point that
the bill as presented made IL compulsory
that the mayor should give it his appro-
val. The city charter provides that
bill becomes law IL the mayor
shall not exercise the right OF veto
within a given time. The matter was
tabled temporarily. Alderman Ballou
called the matter from the table, where
upon Alderman Winship, in view OF the
difference OF opinion among the lawyers
i'm the board, moved that the city solici-
tor be sent for to give an opinion, but that
officer could not be found.
subsequently Alderman Olney called
the ordinance from the table. lie moved
its adoption in concurrence, but IL was
defeated by the following vote:
Ayes--Aldermen Ballou, Harris and
Olney.

Mr.. West stated that he hoped action

said that IN the ordinance
