The Committee Of the Whole presented
the following report;- $50
| Honorable Board Of Street and Water
Commissioners
Gentiemen-In the matter of the COM
municstfon heretofore received from Ills
Honor the Mayor. and in which he re
turns with his objections certain reso-
| luton passed by this Board on April sth
inst ordering pa.d 70 certain dapeg lapoFeFs =
Mount Pleasant Park, your COMMITTEES
finds that the men composing the payroll
objected to were delegated to this Work
by the foremen of men employed oil
paved streets. The men so delegated
would have otherwise been employed on
streets, to which it is assumed tnere
| from His Honor, and 1t would thus seem
| as If the charge of employing "outSice
| labor mad been DISPOSED Of
The men so delegated did more than dig
| holes, they plantedthe trees. they carefully
replaced the earth around them, and re-
| moved the surplus earth and debris: 50
| that the park grounds We're restored to
| the condition in which they were before
/ the men began operations. In the actuai
| work six men were employed for an
| average of 31h days each at 81 per day,
! or a total of S42 so. and over them fore
| man was properly placed and he served
| three days for which he was to receive
$3.50 per day. or a total OF $3.50.
Ii has been urged that our regular
| force Of park labore-s should have per-
| formed this work but we fail to conc-r
| in that view as the force of laborers e..-
gagged in the parks has never been NOR :
| than sufficient to care for that particular
| park to which they were permanently as
! ssened the t.esail being as follows: Ham
| iIton Park 2; Van Worst ParE z; Wasn-
| ingtoH. /; Riveryiew, /; Bay side, 1, anu
THIS is the time Of the year when; il
| their services are needed At ALL they
! should be and are undoubtedly occupied
| IN niacing the park grounds in proper
| cn-ds+,on. and while at the instance or
| His Honor they have been recently tenn
porarilN DESIGNATED to other worK VIII "a !
| view 10 saving money. We bAlseve that
| course TO be false economy. and feel lnat
| the public with this upderst anding OF the
| facts, VIII sustain Us II tha1 oeme, a.
IN view OF the fact that the men en-
| earad in the work Objected to. were reg1-
! lar city Siahorers, that they wollIq other-
| wise have been employed eisewnere, ,a,l en-
| etv work a the same daily compensation
