Capt. Whiteturst Believes
80 Per Cent Of Workers
Will Be Kept On Rolls

The District Commissioners
have turned to the five-day week
as one method by which unerin-
ployment in the District may be
minimized, it was announced
following their meeting yeSter-
day.
The five-day week plan win
be applied to all per diem ana
temporary employees in the Dis
trict highway department.
This will eliminate the ne
cessity of laying off many per
diem employees. temporary. in.
spectors and checkers, during
the slack winter season.
Bulk Retained
Workers most affected, it was
pointed out by Capt. II. C.
Whitehurst. District highway en-.
gineer. will be those in the main
tenance force, for the greater
part laborerS and workers OF the
engineer field parties.
Under this plan, it is believed,
fully 80 per cent Of the main
tenance force can be retained,
instead of the usual SIS to 10
per cent who are kept in the
winter.
This schedule will result In Q
slight decrease in the total pay OF
employees, since it will cut down
the number Of working hours
Captain WhitehurSt pointed ont,
however, that giving employment
to a larger number Of men, with
slightly reduced pay to the entire
group. seemed the logical course
to follow.
A Second Plan
Another plan of the District TO
aid the unemployed was an
nounced by DR.. Luther II. Reichel-
derfer, president of the Board OF
Commissioners, yesterday:
He stated that the various
habitahle buildings which the Dis
trict has acquired for the Munic-
ipal Center site, and which are
now vacant, will be rented for Q
nominal sum to needy persons.
This, it is believed, will go far
toward housing the families Of un-
employed men.
The Commissioners are already
renting one building to the Gem
tral Union Mission to use as quar-.
tiers for men out of work.
A rental of $25 month is
charged for this building, since
the law prohibits turning a public
building over to private users free
of charge.

Policemen who are recon-.

This was made clear by the
action Of the Commissioner to-
day in refusing to hear a verbal
presentation of the appeal Of Po-
licelnan G. j. Garry, Of the
Third precinct, who was recently
convicted before the trial board
Of using abusive language while

Of Mississippi, on a minor traffic
charge.
e. Russell Kelly, attorney for
the policeman, asked permission
to appear before the Commission
ers to present his appeal. The
request was denied. with the
statement that in the future at
torneys must present their ap-
peals in the form Of written
briefs. 1t was pointed out that
in the past attorneys who have
apperaed with such appeals have
usually read from their briefs,
and that the Commissioners there
fore believe a personal appear
ance to be a waste Of time.
Appeals in the future, there
fore, will be decided solely upon
the written briefs.
