Rush Of MEN AFTER
JOBS ON CITY WORK
Preference Will Be Given TO
Those With Families and
in Greatest Need
Mr.. PERSON TELLS OF
PLAN TO BE FOLLOWED

Since the announcement that the
city will proceed with street and
sewer improvements TO cost 100000 in
order to give immediate employment
TO needy men, there has been a rush.
OF applicants for jobs on the new city
projects. Since Thursday morning
there has been a steady stream Of
workmen vending their way to the
offices Of street Commissioner Frank
W Pierson, asking for work. II was
claimed by officials of the Street and
Sewer Department yesterday that not
only men asked for employment. but
in some instances women had been TO
the Offices seeking work for their hus-
bands.
Mr.. Pierson this morning empha-
sized that while there have been about
300 applications for work,up to noon,
II has been determined to give the
preference TO those most IN need. Not
a man has been employed as yet, Mr..
Pierson explained, and none will be
until those most IN need are learned.
Mr. Pierson said the department
will confer with the Associated Chari-
ties and other charitable organiza-
names Of men with families who are
most worthy OF assistance. In every
instance the preference viii be given
/ to those who have families or have
persons dependent upon them. While
the department recognizes thef many
men are out OF work, Mr.. Pierson
said. il also feels that of those out
of work many men with families arc
more urgently IN need than Others
unemployed. and 1t is the desire ia
help those most In distress by Civ.
ing them Jobs on the city projects
The aim is 10 do the most good anc
TO avoid any semhlanco of favoritisn
in giving work, Mr. Pierson added.
