The foregoing abolises the payment
of insurance and the free employment
bureau. The city of Aberdeen is too
big a concern to continue the pay
ment of insurance premiums. Its
risks are so widely scattered that an
insurance account, credited with the
permiums and debited with such loss
es as may occur would show profit
This may be said to be a small mat
ter, but the budget is made up of small
items, the total sum of which is ap-
palling.
1t also contemplates the abolition
of the free employment bureau, and
its attendant cost The two leading
labor employing industries, mills and
logging camps, have since the estab-
lishment of the bureau, organized en-
ployment agencies of their own. which
largely does away with the necessity
of a city office. 1t is suggested that
a stringent law be enacted, requiring
a substantial license fee and bond,
providing rules and regulations for
employment agencies, would, under
present conditions amply protect the
workingman from imposition.
