 If the mayor is going 10 appoint such committee as that, he will please leave me off it," Alderman Judd requested.

 Mayors Message
 The mayors message reads
 Members Of the common council.
 At your last meeting. at my re- quest, you authorized me 10 cstab- fish labor bureau and l have done so. Your cooperation, you may be assured, was appreciated.
 My first move was to call q conference of representatives of our industries. The consensus of opin- ion, as expressed at this meeting, was that the problem of uncmploy- ment is one for the city government to solve.
 Accordingly, l called @rc-aI conference, which vas attend t.. Chairman Hall of the boa. ,. finance and taxation, rrpras u:a. lives of the park, public works. wa ter and welfare departments, and some Of the aldermen. After some discussion, We adjourned to meet at Il later date and receive reports, At that meeting, We learned that the water department could take on d few men; that the board of public works could proceed with sewer and subway work. 10 be paid for by bond issue; that the park boarl could give work 10 many men ;t furnished with the funds. and in this group could bc placed th0.. aged and infirm applicants who are unable to do heavy work. In tho main, the work to be done Is work which would be undertaken next summer anNWaN and the effect would be the mere pushing ahead 0t 0I lp ing the emergency. With what as Surance Chairman Hall and myself could give, that department pro- ccedcd, expecting the money to bc provided. Work was given 3l mon. and It was expected to materially increase the force when the expect -d $l5,00O was made available.
 However, the board of finance and taxation has seen fit to reject ,he recommendation for q onc-ffth of one mill tax levy, 10 be collect lble next year, and the men engaged by the park department are without Work
 We must meet the needs of these men, either by paying them for work that must be done, or through charity, which gives the city no re turn and pauperiZes many of our citizens. If the money is net placed in payrolls It will be spent just the same, on charity.
 "Our emergency fund balance to- day stands at $lG,000. The condition in which we find oursclf is certain lH an emergency, and ] recommend that we permit the expenditure of $l0,000 of this amount to meet pay rolls Of the park department, and that we also take $2,OOO for the tu- berculosis sanitarium account. This latter matter has been before the
