The city council has under advisa-

work and lodging for the idle.

asking for help to start the matter
along, and although cold water was
thrown on the proposition by Mayor
H. NJ. Schriver. the council deferred
action on it until the meeting Thurs
day afternoon.
The plan is to secure rooms here at
a cheap rent, two places now being
available for this purpose, and turn
them into a workshop. About 80 men
could be given sleeping quarters and
board. earning the same through work
for the institution, the main idea of
which is TO be self-sustaining.
