CITY ALTERS WORK
TO HELP LABORERS
CONSTRUCTION TO BE DONE IN
WINTEIt MONTH'S.
Heavy Season In Water and Sewer
Departments Changed From Sain
nier to Aid Cncmplojcd.
For the benefit of laborers and
others unable to secure work during
the Winter months, the City Commis
sion yesterday decided to change its
heavy construction season In the water
snd sewer departments from the Sum
mer to the Winter months. In accord
ance with the policy as much of the
sewer and water main laying will be
put through between now and Spring
aa possible, and work will b shut
down during the Summer, either par
tlally or altogether.
The change In season has been
brought about by labor condition
which members of the Commission say
are bad. Mayor Albee says there Is
not a dsy that he does not receive let
ters. telephone calls or personal calls
from persons who cannot get work
and have families to support.
In the general plan it is believed a
change of seasons would open the way
for many men to secure employment.
and the city would be out nothing.
There are times in the Summer months
that it is difficult to secure laborers
while In the Winter, because other cor
porations shut down on operations.
men are idle in hundreds in the city.
Commissioner Daly says he proposes
to do Just as much construction work
In the water department as possible
during the Winter, money for the
work being available from the sale of
bonds.
DOG RELIEF IS ORDERED
Muzzling Ordinance Repealed by
City Commission.
Muzzling of dogs Is do longer neces
sary. The City Commission has re
pealed the ordinance requiring the
muzzles on the entire canine family
he year round. The ordinance will not
be enforced again until next Summer.
Dog owners have been urging the
repeal of the ordinance for more than
two months, but the Commission has
been relentless because of foar of
rabies. More than 700 dogs have been
taken up by the pound department for
violation of the muzzling measure dur-
ng the course of Its enforcement, cov
ering about five months.
Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the
State" Board of Health, disapproves the
action of the City Commissioners. He
says two persons are now taking the
Pasteur treatment In the laboratory of
the Board of Health. - He advocates
keeping dogs muzzled for a year.

If Governor West has any legal au
thority for abolishing tha Stste Game
and Fish Commission, even "for the
time being. that authority does not
appear to be conferred by the state law
under which the Commission Is created
and derives its powers.
This point was raised yesterday as
a result of the Governor's announce
ment Wednesday that the Commission
was abolished for the time being on
f account of dissensions created by "busy
I , . .
' bodies, after he had accepted the res-
ignatlons of Commissioners Hughes
Stone, Duncan and Kelly on their state
ment that they could not get along
with Commissioner Kinnef.
Under the law. which la part of -he
new game code passed by the last Leg
islature, the Governor has authority to
appoint four of the five members of the
Commission. It is specifically provided,
however, that the men appointed shall
serve "until their successors shall have
been appointed and qualified.
Power of Kesaeval Met Clvem.
As successors to the four Commis
sioners whose resignations the Gover
nor accepted i lve not been appointed
by bim or qual.Aed. they are held to be,
under the terms of the act, still mem
bers of the Commission.
In other words, the phrasing of the
law is such aparently as to require the
Governor to appoint a successor to any
member, the auccesosr to qualify, be
fore that member ceases to be officially
on the Commission. This Interpreta
tion of the legal point involved would
louve the entire Commission Intact.
Nowhere In the act Is authority del
egated to the Governor to remove any
member of the Commission, though Mr.
West is said to be contemplating the
removal of Commissioner Kinney.
Commlaaloa Selects Mr. Kelly.
