RETURN REPAIR FORCE
TO CITY ENGINEER
Administrative Board Believes Bet
ter Service May Result Through
Transfer OF Men.

~ the suggestion OF Commissioner
Hirschberg the administrative board,
yesterday, adopted resolution trans
ferring the entire street repair force
from the street clea ming department
to City Engineer Bolling's depart
ment. This force, about two years
ago was taken from the engineers
control and placed under the direc-
ton of the superintendent of street
cleaning. They are now shifte
back. The change will effect twenty
two men.
Another change suggested by Com
missioner Hirschberg was that OF
reorganization of the street cleaning
force by forming 1t into FIVE di-
visions. with a foreman for each
one. These divisions are to have
headet.arters IN various sections of
the city, and the men are to report
every morning to their foTemen at
the designated places at O'Clock
ready to work This plan, It was ex-
planned by Mr.. Hirshberg. will tend
to efficiency and results, as the men
will not be compelled to report. as
formerly, to the foremen at the sta
bles, located in distant sections of
the city. Tool boxes will be placed at
convenient points In the various dis
tricts. so that no time may be lost
In proceeding with the duties OF the
day. Both changes become eff
fective on February list.
