Feeling Runs High.
Feeling is said to run high at the
garage among the men who were SO
recently appointed The commission
gives efficiency as the reason for the
sweeping changes and as second
reason the commission says that all
the work on the cars is completed
and that a large force is no longer
needed 1t was decided that IL men
will make upsthe permanent staff or
the garage. Dwyer was dropped, IL
was stated, because all painting WORK
was caught and there was nothing
further for him to do. Yesterday
afternoon, it was said, that there was
not job in the garage for the men
to be kept at work.
superintendent of Charities Angus
P Thorne, secretary pro tenn of the
commission, was directed to send a
letter to the men today, stating that
they were through at the close OF
business today. No reason was given
in the letter for their discharge.
Not BY Politics.
Mr. Thorne was asked today if the
new appointeeS were favored by any
political influence. He replied in the
negative. and said that the men filed
applications for work and that their
applications We're accepted by the
commission. He is still secretary OF
the commission, no new secretary be-
ing appointed at yesterdays meeting
as expected
Edmund c. Mayo chairman of the
com mission, was reluctant to discuss
the sweeping changes made today but
Indicated that everything was in the
interest of efficiency. THE time
clocks at the garage Mr. mayo stat
ed would be used from now on to
tell time" He inferred that there
would be no more clock watching at
the garage and that the clocks would
be used only to punch time cards.
