MAYOR ASKS $4,000 FOR
HIRING OF STREET LABORERS
Urges Councils to Appropriate Money
So Many May Be Re-employed.

An appropriation Of $4,000 TO enable the
Bureau of Highways to re-employ num-
ber Of men who have been thrown out
OF work through the lack of funds, was
urged upon Councils today in special
message from Mayor Blankenburs.
For the past six weeks the men have
been without work, and II was impossible
for the Bureau OF Highways to employ
them although there was plenty of work
to be done. Dtlatory tactics on the part
of Councils are held responsible for this
situation.
In his message to Councils the Mayor
included letter from Director of the
Department of Public Works Cooke which
explained tho situation The letter stated
during the past six weeks 443 men had
to be laid off because of the lack Of
funds.
1t was pointed out that because of the
apparent carelessness or heedlessness of
Councils the streets Of Philadelphia were
suffering from the lack of proper atten-
ton and In addition to this 1t was inn
possible for the Highway Bureau to get
the fun value out of the work already
done.
