PLENTY OF WORK.
The Unemployed Who Really Want
to Earn a Living
Can Find Opportunities In Abundance
ON City Work and Under Contract
jors- What Commissioner Smith Says.

The strikes which have occurred re-
Gently among the laborers who were fur
hished employment by the city on the
grading,of Senter and Jewett streets on
Smith Hill have given rise 10 considerable
speculation among & he charitably inclined
as TO what is to become of the destitute
thrown out OF work by the misguided few.
The action taken by the city IN at once
placing a stop TO further charity work ON
the streets and the giving out the job To
contractors has been subjected TO consld-
cradle criticism.
What is 10 become OF the destitute who
while willing to work are made 20 suffer
for the action OF the few agitators among
them? This is the question that Is being
heard on every side.
In answer to this question Commissioner
Smith said this morning that those who
had shown any inclination to work at all
would find sufficient to do in laboring for
the contractors. There is considerable
demand for men now and anyone who Is
willing TO work for living can do so.
Said he, ave have gang OF about forty
men at present employed on the Aliens
avenue improvements and Contractor
Shaw employs about forty more
in constructing the sewer in the
same street. In few days
Melrose street will be opened for grading
and the willing workers will be given an
opportunity to- earn something then.
This will hnish the charity work, as the
work OH Melrose street will last until late
IN the spring.
'The work for the three weeks has cost
si,900.67, of which the Earl P.-Afason Land
Company, and the Pinckney Farm and
Land Company pay one-quarter each, the
city standing one half the expense.

From an Authority ON Rocks.

Said well-known book lover and au-
thority on art works; /" have seen eight
or 10 different Worlds Fair books and
the NEWS Magic City is the hand
soonest, most accurate and with the best
selection of views of any of them. Take
one little point for instance. Most of the
publications print photograph
of the Fine Arts Building with the
statue of Victory on top. The statue of
Victory was i'm the original model, but IL
was never put on the actual building. That
shows that the photographs were not taken
from the building as finally completed.
Other books show staging about some OF
the buildings, demonstrating that the pic
lures were taken before the completion
OF the buildings. The pictures in
the Magic City are absolutely correct,
Just as the buildings actually were built
and taken at time and from point of
view that makes them most picturesque
and effcctive.n
