 Superintendent of Streets D. J. German gave an interesting talg on the efforts that are being made by the borough administration cooper ating with Unemployment fund Of the borough in furnishing work to menout of employment. Superin- te ndent German stated that about 450 applications have been received through the unemployment bureau for work. Efforts are being made to assist all of these men, but the borough is handicapped to certain extent he stated, especially at this time of the year with projects 70 start. About 140 men are daily be- ing employment and these are be- ! ing rotated in shifts so that every one has some work.
 The Melbourne court sewer and the Hoadley street sewer are now pretty well along and it is expected that the work on these two projects will be completed in about two | weeks.
 Superintendent German gave a very clear explanation of the way the situation is being handled through the unemployment fund. The men back of the unemployment aid he stated are anxious to put as many to work as the borough street department will take care of. They are, he stated, anxious to spend their money 70 keep men employed, but the street department is unable to put them all to work at one time. Superintendent German stated that the borough was getting much bene- fit from this fund as great amount of work was being done that other wise would probably wait for a long period.
 Warden Green also spoke of the work that is being done to aid the unemployed and stated that it was the desire of the borough fathers to furnish work wherever possible to men that are out of employment. He stated that it is trying time as not all of the men can be taken care of at one time but that every effort is being made to give each man certain amount of work
