APPEAL FOR JOBLESS
MADE BY MAYOR
Declares Third of Persons in
Florida Eligible Are Unable
to Get Work.

Mayor R. E. L. Chancey Of Tampa.
Fla, declared last night third of the
persons in Florida cities eligible for
relief work were unable to get Jobs on
existing projects.
He made the assertion in support of
plea of the United States Conference
OF Mayors for $4,000 100000 relief
appropriation for the fiscal year 1899.
Mayor Chancey called on President
Roosevelt yesterday with other mem
bers Of the conferences Executive
Committee
1T is quite a problem" the Tampa
mayor said. Probably one-third of
those eligible for relief work are unable
to get it. I think the situation in
Tampa is illustrative of that in other
Florida cities"
In the peninsula's resort country,
ne pointed out, the relief problem
grows even the more acute when the
Winter season ends.
The amount which cities are re-
quired to spend in connection with
w. P. A. activities, the Floridlan said.
has become an almost unbearable
burden. In addition, he said. Tanpa
is spending about quarter-million
dollars this year on relief outside of
its participation in the w. P, A. pro-
gram.
