JOB-SEEKERS ARE

Such Is Fact Disclosed by
Mayors Investigation

Cards Filled Out by Rcgistrants Rep

Circumstances and Need of Work.

Circumstances and Need of Work.
Mayor o. F. Curtis is instituting an
investigation into reports that many
tof those who have applied to the mu
nicipal labor bureau for jobs, repre-
senting themselves as in dire need of
work, are really the owners of vaiu-
able real estate. 1t is reported that
Investigations yesterday disclosed a
number of property holders who, by
cards had caused them to be placed
among the first on city jobs
1t is probable that the employ
ment agents will be required in the
future to look up the property hold
ings Of all who are about to be placed
so that only those actually in need
of work will receive jobs.
The number of applicants for jobs
today was not as large as has been
the rule for the past few. weeks. The
charity departm ent received fully as
many appeals however. Early this
morning several hundred applicants,
principally representatives of the
Spanish population, were on the 4th
floor of the city building awaiting the
opening of Charity superintendent
Cowlishaw's office. They were given
the usual supplies of coffee and beans.
Are Very Thankful
Several of the Spaniards, when given
packages of food this morning at the
charity board Office. kissed the hand
of the superintendent and thanked
him in their native tongue, Each day
about a score of new petitioners are
present. In all cases, an investigation
iS made before relief in any form is
given. This is done as a precautionary
measure to prevent impositioris upon
the charity board.
A bulletin board has been, placed in
the main corridor Of City Hall today,
near the entrance to the office of the
mayor. Each day it is planned to post
a list of the jobs available on that
day. Because of the makeup of the
crowds that gather each day it will
be necessary to post the lists in sew
crab languages.
