J. K. Polk, superintendent of the woodyard, gave out a report to the city council, stating that, “lodgings were pro- vided for 1835 men, meals were served to 2958. There were 599 sacks of wood sold during the months for $573.” “Presenting a husky job to the un- employed workmen who go to munic- ipal woodyard on 8th St. for board yynd shelter, stacks of trees, fence | joards, railroad ties, limbs and tele- phone poles are being hauled to the +; Woodyard hourly from every part of | the city to be cut by the unemployed, | We will have to stack them in vacant lots”, was further statement of Polk.
