FOREMEN LAID Off
WITH WEEKS PAY
City Saves $4,000 Month by
Reduction in Street Clean
ing Force.

Twenty-six foremen in the city
department were put
on the suspended list this afternoon
by Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd.
of the Board of Works.
While they viii be paid their salary
of S25 week until December /. they
were laid off today for a week. so
that they may look for work else
where.
Mr.. Sherrerd felt this action was
but just in the face of the long en-
ployment of the men by the city and
the fact that no money will be avail
able until January l to pay the fore
men.
The laying-off of the supervising
force is the elimination of long agita-
ton over the pay of foremen and the
white wings" Last Tuesday 200 of
the 315 street-cleaners employed by
the city were laid off because of lack
of funds. 1t was then argued that
the foremen be put on half time, but
the Board of Works left it to the dis
cretion of Mr. .Sherrerd as to what
should be done with the foremen.
The chief engineer will report to the
board this afternoon his action.
In the event of snowstorm the
laborers will report for work and a
sufficient number of foremen will be
taken from the suspended list until
the snow is cleared away. BY laying
off the foremen the city viii save
s., 900 a month.
