MEN FROM PAY ROLL

Projects to be Abandoned
Until Spring

days has seriously interfered with the
work started by the city during the
summer which is now in various stages
of completion. AS a result over 200
men have been laid off during the last
few days. This win be a great hard

ground. Most of those discharged to-
day were employed on the Prices Run

Real winter weather came much
earlier this year than usual. Con-
tractors were not prepared for it. The

abandoned until spring.
