STOP MR.. HYDE'S PAYl

AN r. BRUCE seems to have become aware that City Chamberlain
IN Charles II. Hyde is very much absent, and intimates that he
will try to find him. This is all very well. The Importance
OF Mr.. Hyde az a witness in the racetrack graft inquiry is now small
compared with his persistent neglect Of the Office he holds and for
the conduct of which the city pays him S12,0 900 a year.
If, as Mayor Gaynor says, his absence is Of "no Importance" his
.alary should be stopped. The only inference from the Mayors re-
mark is that it doesn't make any difference to the city's business
whether Mr.. Hyde works or loafs.
1t does. 1t makes $1,000 a month of waste on the ctys over
burdened payroll. The Mayor should stop this scandal before it un
docs his administration!
