 Buses were running close to schedule, streets which they tra- verse having been cleared during the night. The ban on all night parking aided the street depart ment in the job of clearing the streets, enabling blows to travel alongside the curb and allow greater travelling space for motor istS.

 The total for the month is low CT than that for any period since the department began 8 new record system in 1884, and Supt. Hayden said he believed to be one of the lowest case load figures in many years.
 The monthly report lists 2O2 full-relief cases and S2 partial relief cases, also 188 institutional cases. Seventeen transients were also assisted. There were 1,947 per- sons receiving city aid.
 City welfare rolls have been dropping sharply since last spring, the number of cases being stead lily reduced as local factories hired more and more workers after re- ceiving defense orders The case load is now believed to be ap- preaching an almost absolute minimum, since many of those receiving assistance from the city are unemplOyable, being aged or incaDacitated.
