The speaker also spoke of the fact that £500.000,000 was investod in jails and peni- tentinries in the United states and ¢ ared that if some way could_ be devised by which some of this money could be applied to the it of the unemployed thero would be no necessity for much of the expense ineurred in the punishment of erime. The mayor read acircular which stated that invitations had been senv out to sixty of the heaviest property owhers of the city to meet at the Paxton hotel Tuesday night to take measures to compel the city ofticials to retrench by not making anv public improvements during the next two yoars, In commenting on this idea, the wayor sd that it these men, who were, some of them, Hionaires, had come to at tend this meeting and help devise means for making more work instead of stopping that which was already under consuleration, they would have shown more public spirit and philantiropy than by getting o by them selves and planning to take away what little employment the city was ablo to give toe those who needed it to keep thelr families from starving. In conclusion, Muyor Bemis stated that he was willing to do inything in his power, either personally oras o public official, to’ further any plau that might be devised to provide work for mwen who needed iv Duryen Favors Public Tmproven Dr. Duryea followed with a practical talk on the present conditions and a possible rem- edy. He said that there were two questions to be considered. The first was how to pro- vide work for the unemployed, and another was how to help them through'the wiater in ase work could not be had. He believed that it was the duty of public spirited men 1o go down in their pockets and put up the money for permanent public improvements which could be pushed forward at once, so that the money could go to the men who otherwise be unable to work and mtain their independence. The city had de many of these men and now wus_the time for them to stand by the city. Somo of them had_made their money here and now went off to Montana or Mexico to tind a place to invest it instead of placing it here av home where it would do some wood. Rev. A. W. Clark thought that any ot these plans would require considerable time What was to be done must be done vight way, s the situation was more distressing than most people realized. He thought that the most practical relief would be the i diate expenditure of the 150,000 set apart the county commissioners for the im- provement of the county roads. In this con- nection he censured the county commis- sioners for not proving themselves equal to the emergenc, Judge Stenberg of tho Board of County Commissioners took the floor to explain that the board had been doing a great deal toward relieving the destitution in vhis locality, while the city had done nothing. He thought that the city might just as well engage in the public improvement business as the county etting Down to Business speeches wero made by Mr. Cohen nnd Mr. Beirman _and a committeo o five was avpointed to call upon the president of Central Labor union and have him apnoint another committee of five to act with in drawing up another set of resolutions to be presented to the ¢ and county authorities, asking them to make some provision in the wity of public improvements for tne relief of the unemployed workingmen of the city.
