THE. UNEMPLOYED.

Tho Commission Pay Off the Workers.
A Chaotic Condition.
The city labor commission yesterday
performed the pleasant part OF the
duties devolving on them, that of paying
off the various gangs now working.
Mayor Rowan on his return remarked:
~ have had busy time of it, but many
a poor fellow has been made happy"
and without doubt many q family
will today have good meal that was
but in expectation few days ago. The
bad effect also of money is shown in the
fact that one OF the needy (?) reached
the chain gang, and ia doing his work at
even less than q dollar a day.
The committee take rest today, and
on Monday will again grapple with the
question OF what shall be done with the
new applicants. They are increasing in
large numbers.
1t was originally the idea of the COM
mission that only about 200 men were
to be relieved, but the number has al
ready reached 900. and the present force
at work, 1852, has cleaned up what was
to be done at the moment, so that new
work must be found for the old men
and new sppointees must wait until
work be found for them.
Suggestions will doubtless be made at
the council meeting Tomorrow morn
ing tending to expedite matters, and it
is hoped that the road will be so widened
as to permit all to walk.

One of the greatest needs of the
asylum is the construction of a storm
water drain. AT present heavy rain
fall might greatly injure the
grounds. The fall in altitude be-
ing go great large washes are made in
"a hours. This question has been dis
cussed by the trustees, but owing to the
limited means at their disposal the sub
iect will probably have to be postponed
till the Legislature meets. when an APP
preparation will be urged to me ct this
expense.
The money set aside by the last legis-
lature was insufficient to meet all the
expenses of the institution. When the
building was opened an appropriation
of $120 900 was asked for maintenance
for two years, but the law makers saw
fit to put only 100000 in the fund.
Neceesaries. in the form of extra bed
ding, had to be purchased for
the winter months. Over 100 patients
were transferred from the north, and
the committee estimated that 100 would
be taken in by the time that the new
wing was completed. At the present
time there are about 30 in excess OF that
number, thus the daily expense has
been increased considerable.
Northern papers have been criticising
the expenditures during the present
fiscal year. The recent grand jury made
two visits to the institution and studied
the system OF treatment. alleged cruel
ties, abuse and neglect of patients, and
in its report filed says: "We instituted
a rigid and thorough investigation OF
the same, which resulted in showing the
charges to be wholly unfounded in fact.
We found the sanitary condition good,
the discipline of the employees rigid but
kind, the care and treatment of the
patients apparently working good re-
suits, and the management upon an
economical basis. The amount expended
prior to Decen Der, during the present
fiscal year, being $25. 767. AZ, or less than
half the sum stated i'll the adverse crit
icism on the institution by northern
papers,"
The state board OF health paid the
institution an official visit short time
since and carefully investigated the sys-
tenn OF treatment, hygienic and sanitary
condition of the asylum, and expressed
themselves as finding everything in the
best of condition, and especially COM
mended the cleanliness of the building
throughout.
Southern California should be con-
graduated on having such we'll regu-
lated and managed institution in it's
precincts, and all should work in unison
toward keeping up its present high
standard of excellency.
