gle today, land that is that the APP
preparation we receive for this work
does not increase yea by year at the
same ratio as Ices the addition of new
streets. Last year there were ten
miles added to the city's streets; this
year there are about eighteen miles to
be paved. All this means additional
cost. Yet our appropriation is not
greater"
When asked if he considered that the
old men employed to clean streets did
the work efficiently, Mr.. Mungle said:
Yes, they are better than young men.
During one of the financial panics we
had a number of younger men doing
the work and found that they were
not as careful as the older men. Then
again. is It not better to have the old
men doing this tt~ln to support them
by taking care of them in the aims
house?'
Commissioner Arthur R. Denman
said substantially what Mr.. Mungle
said. Speaking of the accusation of
the Board of Trade. with which DR..
Kraemer agreed, Mr.. Denman averred
that it was false and malicious.
Mr.. De:iman pointed out that all but
the commissioners, the secretary and
the laborers are under the civil service
regulations, and that it is impossible
for any member of the board to take
care of his friends"
Commissioner Kraemer was asked
about he civil service n its effect
on the staff of employees.
"Of course, the men are under civil
service" he said. "But they are the
SAME men who were put into their
jobs through politics. The men did not
have to take examinations when the
civil service raw went into effect. and
those who we're engaged originally be-
cause Of political patronage are still
on the job"
