Men ToCet Cash After
 April F iirst

Beginning April l, all men employ ed by the Charities department on road or park work will be paid Tn cash instead of by check, and will be abe to secure their money at the Vel fac building. With the inaugurat1on of this symtem, the rate of pay WIZ also be increased to 30 cents an hour, and the men will be employed 90 hours a week, every other week.
 PaynIen in cash will be welcome to the city employees. Under the old plan all workers for the Charities depart ment have fbeen paid by check, there by eneountering delay in securing the cash. It is said that many of these men are in the practice of dfscountIng their pay checks, some exchanging them for 60 cents cash on the dollar.
 Another improvement on the old system will be the distribution of wages at the Welfare building. Under present conditions. the workmen are oblidged to apply for their money at Hillside Home. This is a consider able trip for some of the workers, and the change will be well received by them.
 By increasing the pay to 30 cents an hour, each emplOye will receive S15 a week for every week that he works. It is expected that this arrange ment will be more agreeable than a three or four-day a week job; inas- much as 1t will permit the worker to secure employment elswhere durin g the week when he is not engaged by the City.

Drew Wants
 Cash, Will
 Get It Too

Incensed by the "try-and-get-it" attitude which has been adopted by a large number of local property own CTS who are behind on their tax bills, Tax Collector Edward Drew. today threatened to ''go and get it"
 The tax collector has brushed the dust off a warrant issued to him on February II, by Mayor Atwater, and unless some of the unpaid bills are settled pronto, legal action may be started. MT. Drew is not going to accept any more "raspberries'' in lieu of cash.
 According to the city charter. the tax collector has the power to en- ter the home of any person who owes taxes to the city, take the personal effects of the property owner and dis pose of them at auction. The pro- ceeds of the sale are used to pay the back taxes due, and whatever sum remains may be handed back to the owner. The law provides that the property owner may be arrested and placed in Jail until the taxes are paid.

 Flowers Cheaper

Bridgeporters who are in the habit of presenting relatives or friends with gifts of Easter flowers, will be glad to know that the price of blooms will be considerably lower this year than last. According to local florists, flow CTS may be bought at the present time for 25 cents and up.
 The reduction in prices is said to have been caused by a lower produc- ing cost. and also because of the fact that Easter comes very late this year. The cost of fuel and labor has dropped considerably during the past year, and the florists are also content to do busi- ness with less profit than when prices of all commodities were at their height
