HUNGRY UNEMPLOYED
SEEK AID FROM CITY
Only Municipal Funds Available
Are for Coal Purchase But
Not Food.

Walking into tho Office OF Mayor
Harvey I'm City Hal, this morning, an
aged man Informed Secretary Bartram
that he has been out OF work for elsv-
en- months and for the past seven days
NIL he and his daughter had to eat

able TO purchase on a 81 order given
him by the member Of City Councr
from his ward. The man was sent TO

that he had been sent down by the

This In only one Of the ever in

the attention of the mayor every day
and with tho advent OF winter
weather. the number OF destitute resi-
dents is apparently growing. Almost
all of them are pathetic I'm the ex-

City Council has a fund set aside on
which TO draw for the purchase OF
fuel for the. poor. each member being
permitted TO give out so much coal
In his ward, per month. but these dis
tributions do not generally start un-
m December. The Council, however.
has no moneys on which 10 draw for
the purchase OF foods for the poor and
the coal fund cannot be used for this
purpose. The 81 order referred to by
the man mentioned above, Il was
learned. was obtained by the Council
man from the Trustees Of the Poor.
That body does have some money for
relief work and each member of tho
board can give out 81 orders up 10 n
certain amount. Council has not CON
temrlated providing any cash for food
for the needy because this work Is in
the hands OF the emergency relief
committee of the mayors genera

tee cannot act until Il learns jusi
what the local situation is and how
