SHAKING DOWN CITY'S POOR
STREET SWEEPERS FOR THE
G. 0. P.'S CAMPAIGN FUND

In the general shakedown of Repub-
1ican Office holders, and city employees

stance of all came to light today when
it became known about the City Hall

of street sweepers, had been commits
stoned to hold up the city's street

BridgepO1's Navy
Crushed By Bridge

Harbor Master Garry Paddock's cab
in launch ''IdIer'' which is used in
directing the shipping about the river
and bay was considerably damaged
this morning in an apparently unavoid-
able accident which but for the quick
action of Bridgetender John W. Doc
Ian would have resulted in the sink
ing of the vessel if not its entire
demolishment.
The launch which is anchored in the
west channel of the yellow Mill
bridge, just south of the draw-swlng,
vas riding at extremely high tide this
morning when the bridge was swung
to permit the passage Of two dredge
Scows. It is believed that the ''Id1er'
slipped a bow line as it was, caught
between the piling and the draw end
and the cabin spIintered. The sound
of the grinding as the "Idler'' was lift
ed out of the water caused Doolan
t6 stop the swing. The 'Idler'' was
wedged tight and had to be pulled
loose by a motor boat. Later it was
taken to an East Side dock for re-
pairs. No one was aboard at the
time.
Traffic was delayed but a short
while, caused by inquisitive trolley
men running their cars beyond the
stop signals and preventing the quick
opening of the gates.
