The

at

last

decided
to
issue
an
appeal
to
Prince

people,
on
behalf
of
the
unemployed
of
the
city,
requesting
that
they
get
as
much

as

for

In
the

it
was
noted
that

seldom
went
to
look
for

contenting
themselves
with
waiting
around
the

office
and
asking
the
city
for
meal
tickets.
It
was
suggested
that
they
might
canvass
the
city
for
work
and
in
this
way
bring
to
the
attention
of
the
residents
the
desirability
of
cleaning
up
their

and
doing
necessary
work
around
