Unfortunate situation.

unfortunate situation.
Jacob Faber complained that his
property assessment has been in
creased. but because of the condition
of King street he is unable to rent his
store and his tenants are seeking a re-
duction in their rents. lie said If
King street is not a business street
the property owners should not be
taxed accordingly as they are. He
reminded the board that last wear
they were promised the improvements
would be made this spring and he also
stated that Council had told them the
department had the money to do the
work.
Mr.. Johnson agreed il was an un-
fortunate situation and Mr.. Faber
claimed they could relieve the situa-
ton If they wanted TO. He asked that
they be given some return for the
taxes they pay.
Councilman McNabh expressed the
belief that the contention of the King
street merchants was a good one and
that King street sgets very little at
tention. He thought they were justi-
fed in their kick and he said the de-
partment could do the work without
waiting for Council to act on the
bonds. You can do all this work this
summer If you try" said Mr.. McNabb.
You can get 900 men if you want
them. Your department needs some
pep, some life. 1t needs someone 10

you can spend all the money You
have and you viii be sustained by the
people OF the city,
Mr.. Johnson said they could not get
results by employing old men. and
there are some men now working on
the streets who don't earn so cents a
day, but are being paid SO a day. He
also stated that men so and so years
of age could not do the work. IF
you had the responsibility in this mat
ter you would not be moving so fast"
he told Mr.. McNabb This board
will put the matter up to the City
Council and If they provide the cash
We viii do the work" He said ii
would be better just TO pay the money
TO the men than to put some of them
to work on the streets, for all the re-
suits the city gets from them. He
said they are managing 10 the best OF
their ability But" he concluded
we have no doubt some people conla
do il much better"
