Wright & calIender's Big Structure o.,
Hill Street Explains Decrease In
Valuation Compared with
Year Ago

The figures in the following report from
the office of the chief building inspector
may seem disappointing to one who does
not take the> trouble to make compari-
sons. The total valuation shows a de-
crease of $350230 from that of the corre-
spending period of 1906.
2 But the feeling of disappointment should
be dispelled when it is remembered that
the permit for the big Wright & Callen-
dar office structure on Hill street was
issued on October 8, 1906. 1t Is not to be
expected that permits involving such
large sums as s325,000 are to be issued
every week, although we confess that a
tour of the business section of the city
might lead one to think such was the
case, so many are now in the course Of
construction.
The number of permits is almost equal
TO the corresponding four days of last
year On Monday of the past week,
which is included in the statement for
September given elsewhere. in the depart
ment, there werehhfty permits issued,
totaling a valuation too large for us to
take the time to foot 1t up.

TWENTY-SEvEN COUPLES
WILLING TO VENTURE
All Would Be Married In Big Water
Tank to Receive Prize Of
One Hundred Dol
lars

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Twent seven
couples have applied to the New York
hippodrome management for the privilege
of being married in the great water tank
of the big playhouse, being emptied to this
unusual venture by the reward of S1Go.
which will be paid to the nervy lovers
willing to embark upon new life under
the patronage of King Neptune.
Many of the applications have come
from distant points in the United States,
the couples wishing to make the marriage
the biggest feature OF a honeymoon trip
to New York.
Seven of the couples live in Brooklyn,
and one couple lives in Newark.
One OF the applications came from a
professional diver, who can stay under
water four hours at time. but the man
agement disqualified him from compete
tion because he has such an obvious adj
vantage over all other candidates
One young woman who wanted to win
the 500 was very much afraid that her
wedding dress would be ruined by the
water; but she has been notified that
when the ceremony is performed her only
possible costume will be a bathing suit.
The arrangements for the wedding win
be duly announced later, as soon as the
physical conditions of each couple have
been thoroughly investigated, as only p
young woman of unusual strength and
in excellent health could withstand the
air pressure underneath the water.
In addition, all parties concerned. in
cluding the minister, must be able to
swim. An interesting feature of the mar
riage~ ~under-the-wat will be photo
graph, showing the couple just as they
are united in marriage, and these VIII.
be given away as souvenirs to the In
terested couple and to their friends.
Miss Margaret Townsend, the queen of
the mermaids in "Neptune's Daughter"
will be maid of honor. and the brides
maids will be the twelve mermaids from
the big hippodrome spectacle. all of whom
will wear their mermaid costumes.

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

Where private employment agencies have to be
dured in the place of free employment bureaus they should
be regulated by local law that all danger of fraud
the ignorant applicant for job" will be eliminated
AT the best, the private agency is often shameless
institution.
fair return for the money legitimate business, but
the use OF underhand means to end is moral felony
The private agencys feature is its sneakng
of getting out of returning cash fees who have paid
them for positions and who find upon investigated that
they dont want them that the facts have been mis-
represented to them.
This should be regulated by law.
Compel each agency to explain all its requirements to
every applicant for work. and also the details of the pro-
cedure he must go through to return of the fee
paid in if satisfaction is not given.
hat are the factsg
An ignorant laborer pays his last cent perhaps for
Job and receives slip supposed entitle him work at
a certain place out of town.
If he has the money he pays his railroad fare to that
point He reaches the place and doesn like the work. or
perhaps there isn't any there for him. He pays his fare
back to the agency and asks for the return of his fee
1t is retused-and why?
He hasn't been told that he must have the employer
whom he was sent out to sign his slip showing that
he had applied to him for work, at least that he
there.
He out the money he paid the agency for the job and
has railroad fare to and from the place he sent to-
Ii this is the rule OF the agency it might be legitimate
but the applicant for work should be made understand
1t before his fee taken Otherwise the action of the
agency is robbery.
Persons will be found in every profession of life whose
way of doing business is to beat someone else out of his
money.
They wink at such conduct and think it clever. But
its crimewlfu dirty, degenerate crme-prompted by
degenerate instinct.
