ADD LITTLE MONEY.
Only $35 Came in Yesterday to Help Swell the Fund for
 the Poor.
CITY IS EMPLOYING FIFTY
Total of S946.45 Has Been Expended by the Committee-TotaI is
 S3.225 Now.

But S35 was received by the Mayor yesterday, to be expended in relief work. This is by far the poorest day receipts since the fund was started and If there is not Q vast improvement in the next three or four days the special committee will find itself handicapped for finances. The Mayor has received SS,2g5.S5 in all Of this amount the spe- clal committee has expended $946.45; $255.l5 in money for various purposes; SS29.2O for coal; S2l7 for groceries; sl36 for shoes, and s675 fer clothes. This leaves a balance of $2,27940.
 The committee has about 50 men working in the city parks, and the first of the week expect to increase the number employed to 100 or 125 men. These men will receive s1.75 day in groceries, coal or clothes, not money. Secretary Warden of the special com mittee wishes to state through these columns the fact that these men are being given less than their service war rants. Said Mir. Warden: "A short time ago the board of aldermen voted that all city employees be given s2 a day for nine hour day. This rule sion. for that board is almost a law unto itself. and they pay their em- ployes sl.25. S1.5G or $1.75 a day de- pending upon the services rendered. We have taken the higher wage and pay all the men we are employing S1.75 a day irrespective of what work they are set at Like the city's ours is nine hour day. We have made arrange ments with the grocers who accept or ders made out by us, not to allow those bringing orders in, to order ex- travagant things Some of the first ones we gave orders to wanted to get six-pound roasts al 22 cents a pound others wanted to get oranges at 4; cents a dozen. Our orders are good for all substantial, foods but not for lux uries as several of those we have helped have found out.
 We are using the men in three days shifts. Tomorrow night we will pay off the men who have worked thus fai and Monday morning new gang oi men will commence work. We have on the waiting list about 250 names and we will give employment to as many of these as possible. Our money should hold out for next week and part if not all cr the week following. By that time spring ought to be fairly vel advanced and lots of work will proba. bly, ~open up, especially in the building trades. Then also there is the farm hand question. Tn other wears tho demand for this kind of labor has been greater than the demand and I would not be at all surprised to see the same conditions prevail this year"
