some OF THE JOBS
TO BE FILLED

Oscar Z. Hewitt writes as follows
in the Chicago Herald Of September
10:
A large part Of the fierce fighting
today relates to jobs. Il ia the plums
that attract the interest OF the large
and small politicians to most OF the
county offices.
The practical politician knows what
he Is working for. But for the lay
man, It may be news to know that
the county Offices involved in the pri.
marIes today control 1921 regular jobs
and spend annually on extra Jobs
about $4,000.
The county Offices, for which candi.
dates will be selected today, have an
annual pay roll of $2,261,300. This
sum is distributed among tho various
Offices In the tabulation below, which
also shows the number OF regular
monthly Jobs in each as follows:

BRIDGEPORT STENCnES
Why Does the Chicago Health
Department Overlook "Inhuen-
tial" Soap and Rendering
Works on the South Side That
Are Said to Create Stinks?

The Chicago Eagle Is In receipt OF
complaints from south side people
about the awful smell said to come
from some alleged soap factories and
rendering works in Bridgeport, whose
influence is said to be so great with
the health and sanitary departments
that they can stink as much as they
please.
Property owners complain that
these stenches pollute the air, lower
property values and, what is of more
consequence, endanger health.
Are not the lives Of people in
Bridgeport and vicinity worthy OF Of
fetal notice?
Summer is here and the breezes
watt these smells to all parts of the
| city.
Making this kind of perfumery is
unlawful. Why is the law not en-
| forced?
The time was when Chicago stood
for the Bridgeport zephyrs with pa
tient suffering,
| That time is past and reckoning
awaits the officials who tolerate such
a nuisance now at the hands of out
ragged public opinion and injured pub
lie nostrils.
