PUBLIC SERVICE BUNK
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.

Why doesn't the alleged city de.
partment of Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why it doesn't?
There are 02,641 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
1t is safe to say that 100000 Of them
are out of order most Of the time.
They yield an immense revenue, as
each patron is obliged to give up one
cent for the privilege Of finding out
how much he does not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent.in-the
slot machine, which in the majority OF
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
why is it that the City Department
of Public Service permits these frauds
to exist?
William White of 2644 Pine Grove
avenue may be the next state sena-
tor from the S1st district. He Is very
popular; Chicago-born like his father
and mother, has plenty Of money and
stands high with all Of his fellow
Republicans. The young men Of the
district are for him If he will consent
to make the race.
