Wilimantic, May S.-At nearly every mill in this city help wanted signs are displayed. Female help is employ ed chiefly, and although good wages are paid the local employers seem un- able to get enough. Many families have moved to the city during the last two or three months, most of them coming here to work in the mills, and it is now almost impossible to find va cant tenements of any kind. The building of houses has not kept pace with the increase in population and the problem of what to do with the new corners is becoming a serious one.

NO PEDDLERS
UNDER FORTY
Petitioners to Council Would Ex-
Clude Younger Men from
Their Business.
LETTER A GEM OF LITERATURE

A petition bearing twenty-five Sig
natures and asking for more stringent
regulation of peddling in this city,
was received by the Board of Alder
men at last nights meeting. In word
ing it is sufficiently peculiar to make
it interesting reading. 1t was re-
ferred to committee of the whole.
The petition is as follows:
Board of Aldermen, City of Perth
Amboy, N. J.
Honorable Gentlemen:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens of
Perth Amboy do hereby petition you
in relation to the peddling done in
this city. 1t being indispensable for
the officers of the city to protect its
citizens and promote it's general well
fare so that tranquility, business and
progress could be established, causes
us to beg your kind attention to the
matter involving us at the present,
which is as follows: Laws previously
established in said city call for ped
dlers riding on wagons through the
city to obtain license. But the laws
being misinterpreted by some, cause
the crowding in this business to re-
suit an inconvenience for the city
| We, therefore citizens of said city
| being over forty (40) years of age,
having no other means of securing a
living than by our present occupation,
| beg you to take interest in our pres
ent situation.
"Our age and physical liabilities
restrict us from changing our occu-
patton, it itself being hardly enough
for a daily support. The spread in
our business does not occur, princi-
pally through us, but through Sc
many young non-citizens, who are
capable of engaging in other pursuits
and also through those who obtain
license for others. We, therefore
would like to point out to you that II
some laws be introduced, the spread
of the business would be greatly
diminished and no inconvenience fol
the city would be caused. These laws
may be:
"First-That the individual ped
ullHS Ill IHlS CITY Suouiu NC q SieiAoh
of it and be over forty (4O) years oi
age.
"Second-That the man obtaining
such a license shall have to peddle
himself so that it shall not be trans
ferable.
"Third-That no two licenses shall
be given to one individual.
"By doing this great benefit would
be done to the city and it's citizens.
! Hoping, therefore, that said ap
peal is understood, that the spread
in the peddling is through our young
physically powerful non-citizens, ant
that you clearly perceive that there Ii
no chance for us to secure a living
through any other pursuit than this
on account of our age and physica
condition, we therefore, beg that oul
4 appeal be granted in the name o.
Justice Freedom and God"

EXTRA WAGON
FOR GARBAGE
Increased Facilities for Collect
ion NeCessary-Results Of New
inspectors Work Seen
CONDITIONS BEING REMEDIED

Health Inspector Brewster inspect
ed Smith street thoroughly yesterday
and found matters in fairly good con-
dition. The Board of Health is of the
opinion that the appointment of this
new inspector was one of the things
that had been much needed here for
some time. 1t is stated that even
where the inspector has not reached
yet, the owners and tenants of build
ings have cleaned up things in good
shape about their dwelling places.
AS result of his work the garbage
contractors, Graham & McKeon have
found it necessary to add another
wagon. This is due to the fact that
tenants and owners of buildings in
the city have commenced to clean up
since the inspector was appointed. In
cases where there were formerly two
barrels of garbage to collect, they
find four and sometimes five barrels
since Mr.. Brewster commenced his
work. 1t may be still necessary to
have another wagon until the refuse
has been taken away.
