honr for able bodied men, This reso
luton to take effeet from its passage,

hereby repealed.
4. II. Pierce.
ITO the president and i,oarl of aldermen
Of the city of Rutland, Vt;
transmit the resolution relating to
the rate per day for common labor.
This resolution provides that the price
for common CIR unskilIed labor IN all
city work shall be i5f per hour, or
$3.50 for ten hours work for ali able
bodied men. I am unable to fad that
unskilled or common labor il anywhere
paid in the city $50 per iny. The
city has no difficulty III procuring All
that class Of labor It requires 1T lesss
than that price. This resolution, If
adopted, would therefore comnel the
city to pay at least twenty five cents
d day more for its labor than any pri-
yate individual or corporation pays, and
more than men who may be employed bys
the city can earn All ans other work.
