dear sir will you please give a space in our local paper for a few lines in regard to a matter that came before my notice a citizen gave a man twentyfive cents for- two and a halt hours work and i think if the attention of our council was drawn to this matter they would at all events see to it that when they were letting out contracts that no labor should be pald for at less than twentyfive or thirty cents per hour it is all right this depression stuff but wrre a man wll pittance under the heading of take it or leave it there are plenty more to take the job he is unworthy ot any work our council or anyone else may have to offer and i hope our council will think twice before letting contracts to such people who dont seem to care how the other man lives as long as he gets his and should
