Board of Works En-
ployes Have Lease of
Life Until Winter.
Commissioners Say That
Economy Is to Be
Watchword.

Here is where the men who draw
salaries from the Board for Public
Works viii draw one long sigh of re-
lief. There will be no swinging of the
ak and no reduction of salaries-not al
present. But look out for next winter
Economy will be the watchword. and in
the meantime the board will drift
along, hoping for something to turn
up.
That is the word given out as the
result of the secret conference that
was held yesterday. There were two
of those closed-door sessions. All day
long, when not besieged by callers. the
Commissioners wrestled with the prob
lem cf how TO do the same work and
keep the same staff of employees with
S2S9,295 less money
Nor is it explained yet how the trick
will be accomplished Either Topping
of of employees or a cut in salaries was
predicted. The expected failed to hap
pen, and it is dollars TO doughnuts that
the board is temporizing.
At the close of the session Secretary
Levy was deputiZed to make a state
ment He reported that the Commits
sioners hope by strict economy to do
the same amount of work as in the
past; further, declared the mouthpiece
of the board, it is impossible to reduce
during the winter months it is not out
of the possible that sucn a reduction
viii occur. Despite the reduction in
the appropriation, almost as much
work will be done on the streets and
sewers as during the preceding years.
1t is proposed to spend $4,000 for
the cleaning of streets. The sum of
$4,000 win be used in the repair and
construction of sewers and streets and
public buildings will be repaired to the
extent of s41,500 1t is declared that
because of the extra work it is neces-
sary to keep the present force intact,
and the salaries can be paid, so it is
declared, out of the money available
from the bond issue.
Chief Building Inspector Horgan
yesterday filed with the Board of Public
Works report recommending that the

Several thousand friends of the coun-

from the dust of the city to enjoy
themselves. Many thronged the dane

anxious to leave when it came time TO
catch the last boat. P. H. Mccarthy

himself. The affair proved a financial

pain and suffering which he endured
during this Tins is beyond comprehen-

Pain Balm. One application of that
liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible, and less than
one bottle has effected a permanent
cure. Mr.. Massey relates his experience
for the benefit of others who may be

Gotham Will Enjoy Bountiful Christmas Dav
Associated Press to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Dec. 22.-From all signs
this is to be an exceptionally charit-
able Christmas in New York. Insti-
tutions and individuals are going deep
down in their pockets to dispense
Christmas cheer to the homeless and
the hungry and the i'll provided with
even a more lavish hand than has
been seen in former gears.
AS is the custom, elaborate prepara-
tions are being made by the Saliva
ton army, the Volunteers of America
and kindred organizations to feed the
poor of the metropolis. Last Christ
mas the Salvation Army fed 10000 of
the poorest persons in New York City.
This year they intend to feed 25,000,
but instead of all these poor men,
women and children dining in one
vast building, each with an average of
five members. Brigadier Parker, who
is in charge of the distribution of
these meals, says he is making o
strong effort to get at the honest poor
who would prefer to have their Christ
mas dinner with their own family and
