OF INTEREST TO
PROPERTY OWNERS
IN JAMESTOWN SIDEWALKS ARE.
BEING CLEANED BY CITY AND
COST ASSESSED TO LOT OWN
ERs AND PLACED ON TAX LIST.

jamestown Alert: There is said to
tbe an impression among certain own
3ers of city lots that If the sidewalks
abutting on such lots are cleaned from
snow and ice by the city authorities
employing others to do this work, that
the city will pay the bill. This is q
mistaken idea as property owners
viii later discover.
The city officials are endeavorfng to
have this work done, not only for the
removal of the snow and ice, hut as
precautionary measure against pos
sible suits for damages, and the work
lis being done under the amendment
to Article II, Chapter 80 Of the re-
vfsed codes of 1906, which Section re-
fers to the removal of snow and ice
from the sidewalks.
The law states that in all cases
where snow and ice are not removed
from the sidewalk within the time
provided by the ordinance of the city,
the same may be removed by or un-
der the direction of the street com
missioner, and the necessary expense
shall be chargeable against the abut-
ting property.
The street commissioner shall keep
an account of such work, and file in
the Office of the city auditor before
May 1st of each year. a list OF all
lots. stating the owners names ais far
as known, on which costs for clean
ing sidewalks have been made q
charge to the city The auditor gives
notice Of a hearing and confirmation
of such reports and assessments at
the regular June council meeting. At
such meeting the council will take
up and hear any objection thereto,
and shall thereupon certify to the
fact that this list is correct and shall
file such assessment list in the au-
ditor's Office, and such assessments
with interet and penalties shall re-
main a permanent lien upon the prop
erty until fully paid. Such assess.
| ment shall be certified to the county
auditor by the city auditor at the
same time and in the same manner
that assessments are certified by him
under the law.
BY this process the cost of cleaning
sidewalks by the city will be paid
for by the owners of the property. In
addition to certain statutory penal
/ ties and interests.

ITALIAN CHEAP LIVING.
Railroad Laborers Able to Get Along
on Less Than Ten Dollars a Month.

railroad Laborers Able to Get AIona
on Less Than Ten Dollars a Month.
That Italian laborers save more
money at the same wages than any
other European immigrants is state
ment made in a report Of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
reason is easily found.
A great majority of the unskilled Ia
borers in this country are employed
in railroad construction and similar
undertakings which are usually carried
on where there are no accommodations
for boarding and lodging the men. The
boarding camp thus becomes essential
to the contracting company.
In the case of men Of all nationali-
ties except the Italians a fixed charge
is made for the boarding and lodging
of each man. The Italians, however
insist on buying and cooking their own
food.
Investigation of the records OF a con-
tracing company employing many la
borers of various nationalities in rail-
road construction showed that the ac-
tual cost to the company for grocer
les, provisions, and payment for cooks
walters, fuel, light, etc., at its board
ing camps was 10 cents meal, or 3d.
80 a week for each man. The men
were charged SIS month for board
and lodging.
The Italians at the camps Of the
same company lived mostly on macar-
/ oni, sausage, cheese, sardines and
bread, nacaroni and bread being the
staples, and the others used very spar
ingly. The average monthly expense
of each laborer was as follows: Twen-
ty-five one and one-half pound loaves
of bread at cents 81; thirty pounds
of macaroni at cents, $210; sausage,
sardines and cheese, $1.5O; lard, 80
/ cents.
Most Of the Italians, in addition to
that amount, spent an average OF 80
month for beer, cheap cigars and to-
bacco, which, with the expenses OF 81
a month for shanty rent, brought the
total cost Of living up to about $40
a month.
An examination of the records OF
three railroad systems in New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1905
and 1906 gives accurate figures on the
earnings and cost Of living of large
numbers of Italians under the usual
commissionary system. The average
earnings for a representative month in
1906 for eighty-nine gangs, numbering
1880 men, were $37.07. The cost Of all
food was $3.50 and shanty rent and
sundries, $1.40, or a total OF $3.7o'
leaving a surplus of $30.2S.
These figures furnish one OF the
most potent explanations of the
great amount of money sent by post
office orders to Italy. In 1906 the
amount sent to all countries was $62,
435.343. and of this $36,79S,5S2. OF
$50 per cent, went to Italy, and the
Slavic countries.
The total amount sent to Italy was
SIC. .2S9. .134, against $20,55s,4 ,42S to Rus
sia and Austria Hungary, which coun
tries have twice as many representa-
tiyes in the United States as Italy
