The mayors resolution ASKING for au-
thority to appoint IA person at $50 per
! month to weigh coal and measure wood
| purchased by the city was sent to the
! committee Oh ways and means.
I Mr.. Reardon said the office had been
| abolished by the last legislature, and the
! resolution savored OF Il job. About the
| only thing it would do if The resolution
| passed would be the hiring of another
| boss. Hundreds of men were willing to
| work for 81 per day, payable IN fuel
I and provisions, bmt could not secure
work. Now 1t was the intention To hire
| another boss at $50 per month. The
| custodian at the city hall, he said, did
nothing. and the market master was
| not worked 10 death. These two could
/ do all the coal weighing necessary at
! their respective buildings. and tie sec
! Rotary OF the school board could attend
to the fuel used by the school board.
