 istence for Past Year

Explaining that there appears to be Mayor Angelo NJ. Paonessa has clos cd up the municipal employment bu- reau at City Hall that has been opcr- ating for the past year
 For the present, Frank Rogers who with James Cochranc has been hand ling the business with the bureau, will be connected with the charity de- partment as an investigator. For the past several months, he has been en- gagged as a part-time investigator.
 The employment bureau was estab- lished by CX-Mayor OrSon F. Curtis last April, following the taking of q census of the unemployed in the city. A classification of the unemployed was made, placing in preferred classes or deserving. More than 5000 jobs were given out during the winter months. A great majority Of the jobs were with the street and sewer de- rartments. while few were employed by outside contractors. In almost ev- cry case the work Was for one week at a time
 Mayor Paoncssa has looked into the employment situation ani finds that the board Of public works no longer finds it necessary to choose employees for a few jobs from among many ap- plicants. In his mind. il is only q question of time until laborers will be very scarce and hard to find. This he attributes to q marked bcttcrmcnt in the employment situation.
 The elimination Of tho labor bur eau will effect a saving of about $50 q week to the city, this amount be- ing paid out in salaries to the two agents,

Game Warden Dynamiting
Beaver Dams, Protect Farmers

Ed King, chief game warden and
f.. II. Merrill, public car driver have
been having some interesting OK
periences for the last day or two,
although Mr.. King says he has jobs
up beaver dams.
Thursday at the home of D. +.
Burns in the town of Starks, about
five miles on the Madison road, Mr..
King blew mp two dams made by
beavers. The first one was about
100 feet and four charges were used.
The second measured $50 feet and
i've cartridges were used for blowing
it up. These dams were built on n
stream on an intervale and caused the
water to over flow the land, which
was detrimental to the farmer. Long
and large poplar was used to build
the dams, one tree was estimated to
be 20 feet long and 25 inches
through. 1t is interesting to know
that at the Hall and Vigue barber
SHOP on Madison avenue, NAV be seen
wood which will illustrate the work
OF these little animals, and all who
wish to do so may see the same by
calling at the shop, where one piece
about five feet long and six or eight
inches through may be seen.
Children who have never seen the
work of beavers will be interested II
call at the shop and all who do so
VIII be especially welcome.
To-day. Saturday, Mr.. King and
Merrill will go to Mr.. Burns farm
again and some few miles from the
other bridges will blow up another
one.
