The abuses and frauds practiced by
dishonest and alleged intelligence office
or employment bureaus upon the unsus-
pecting army of people looking for EN-
ployment or help led to. the Introduction
of the Board of Aldermen at last nights
meeting Of an ordinance licensing such
individuals and so regulating the bust
ness as to protect those who have to
deal with such offices or bureaus.
The ordinance provides for the pay
ment of license fee of So. 1t declares
that no person or persons shall engage
in the business without paying such fee,
under penalty of $50 fne or imprison-
ment for thirty days. In order to secure
such license the applicant must procure
proof of having good moral character
satisfactory to the Chief of Police
One of the provisions reads:-'sIn case
any person shall be charged fee for
the purpose of obtaining employment or
situation and it shall be proved that
no such employment or situation was
to be obtained or any vacancies existing
at the place where such person may be
sent, then the keeper Of said office or
agency shall be liable to said person
for the fare paid by him or her in going
to or returning from said place." and on
failure to comply with even this pro-
vision the license of such keeper may be
revoked.
The ordinance further provides:
'The keeper of such intelligence office
shall give a~receipt for any fee taken,
stating the amount SO paid, and the
character Of the situation or employ
ment they agreed to procure for such
person; name and address of the person
Or persons to whom the applicant is re
ferred. and in case the applicant fails to
procure or accept said situation or en-
ployment the keeper shall refund the
full amount of such fee paid at once.
The keeper must also give employer
guarantee to furnish servant or help
for at least three months for afee not
exceeding 50 paid, and in case of failure
to furnish such servant or help the
keeper must refund the full amount Of
the fee."
A record Of the applicants must be
kept for the inspection Of the police.
Reasons for leaving last place employed
must be recorded. A violation Of this
provision renders the keeper liable to
a penalty Of $40 or ten days imprison-
ment.

WAITING FOR
FRIDAY
Place Hunters Anxiously
Wait for the Executions
by the Street and
Water Board.
HARD TO MAKE VACANCIES FOR ALL
Board Is Doing It's Best to Pro-
vide for the Grafters But
There Are So Many
of Them.
HARD 10 MAKE VACANCIES FOR ALL

The Street and Water Board at yes
terday's meeting did not. as was fore
shadowed in "The News" make any
further changes in the personnel of the
department further than to dispense
with the services of half dozen labor
ers. These were t. Connerty and 3.
Burns, PAYERS; ]. DAILY. J. Corrigan, w.
Concannon and P. Strip, laborers.
There was hardly the usual size lobby
of place-hunters present when the Board
after two hours of executive session
filed in the Assembly Chamber Most
of these had got wind that there would
be nothing doing IN the appointing line,
but remained out of curiosity.
1t is understood, however, that whole
sale decapitations of Democratic EN-
ployes of the department viii take place
next Friday, and many new appoint
ments win be made. The Board ad-
journed to that date.
The business transacted by the Board
yesterday was principally of routine
nature.
Three men were appointed inspectors
of proposed improvements. These were
Henry Grosklus for the proposed i'm
provement of Long street and Rose ave-
nue.; Daniel O'Mara for the proposed
improvement of Harmon street and
James Crowley for the proposed i'm
provement of Woodlawn avenue.
The Board held up two petitions for
the privilege of removing houses, one
of which was church building. This
was that of Hugh Sutherland for the
privilege of removing the old Church of
the Holy Cross building on Claremont
avenue, between Clerk street and Airing
ton avenue. 1t has been used recently
for the holding of political and eother
meetings The other petition was that
of Frank c. Bruckner to remove the
building known as No. 1855 Boulevard
to No. 1859 Bartholdi avenue.
The American Lighting Company
notified the Board that it had completed
its work Of putting up gasolene lamps
and that lights from these would be
turned on on the evening of Tuesday,
April 10.
The East Jersey Water Company was
directed to be notified to put the condi-
tion of Carlton avenue, which it recently
disturbed by work in connection with its
mains, N proper repair.
The Chief Engineer was asked for a
list of asphalted streets in need of re
pair and notice ordered given the COM
panies to begin and continue the work
of repairing the same until the work met
with the appreciation of the Chief Engi-
neer.
