GOOD MOVE BY ORTSEiFEM

For a long time the saloons have
made a good thing out OF the fact that
pay stations for city employees have
been located near these resorts.
City Treasurer Ortselfen has recog-
niZed the evil effects of this system,
which made the men contributors to
the income OF the saloonkeepers, and
with rare good Judgment he has inau-
gurated reform.
Hereafter police stations and city
yards will be used as places where the
men are 10 be paid, and the temptation
to get checks cashed AT saloons viii
thus be reduced to the minimum.
Under the old method the saloonkeep-
crs who had the strongest pull managed
10 get pay stations established near
their places OF business and reaped
financial benefit.
Every one who desires the good OF
the men who work lndustriously in the
city employ will thank Treasurer Ort'
se!fcn for his jud!cious and timely Ell
forts TO improve the service and 10 ben
eft the men.
Nothing could emphasize more
strongly the fact thar a buslness'l!ke
and an honest administration is in pow
or and Is handling the affairs OF this
city than this move on the part OF
Treasurer Ortseifen. II would have
been easy 10 have allowed things tc
drift along, but instead II strong current
has set in toward reform.
