in
his

of
the
Seventy-Second

today,
recognized
the
need
for
an

City
Engineer
F.
M.
Oood,
In
a
report
to
the

last

suggested
that,
In
order
to
conserve
the
financial
resources
for
a
longer
period,
the
number
of
men
or

of

might
be
reduced.
Mr.
Oood
urged
the
advisability
of
something
being
decided
upon
by
the
end
of
this
month.
Mr.
Oood
reported
that
In
October
181
men
had
been
employed
and
the
payroll
had
amounted
to
$10,-
500.
in
November
there
were
198
men
and
a
payroll
of
$15,260.
At
present
there
were
319
men
on
the
list
and
Mr.
Oood
estimated
a
December
payroll
of
$19,000.
Thus
$45.-
000
would
have
been
spent,
leaving
a
balance
of
$39,000
which,
at
the
present
rate,
Mr.
Oood
estimated
would
not
last
beyond
the
end
of
February.
After
bfter
discussion,
the
matter
was
referred
to
the
