, the prospective bidders an opportunity
to look at the work before making their
tenders. i
The repairs to the . tender will be
rather extensive, among them being a
number of new plates in the hull and
some work on the keel, and it is the be
lief of the inspector that more success.
fut bidding can be done if the repre

SUGGESTED
' An appropriation . by the city of a
fund with., which to give, jobless men
work during the severe winter months
Is the ' recommendation - of John O.
Schroeder, Jr . clerk of the " Municipal
Free Employment bureau, in his an
nual report " to the - board of control.
Much work can be done In the parks.
on the boulevards- and streets during
winter months, when common labor la
scarce, states me cleric.
. The annual report follows: V r -
' "During tha, year 1911 the Muniotpal
Freo Employment department of the
city of Portland supplied 29.976 men
and women with employment. - Of this
number 7,884 were positions furnished
to - men and 2093 to women. X4,)4S
men and 1861 women were sent to places
within the city, the remainder,; 8741
men .and 288 women, being sent to
places out Of town. 1 " , ,:,. i
'"The positions furnished to men are
classified under the following heads:
7490 skilled labor, 16,341. unskilled la
bor, 4688 tradesmen and mechanics and
470 clerical and professional work. Of
the positions furnished to women, 1159
were domestics,' 767 hotel and restau
rant help, 41 laundry, 81 factory and
94 in professional and clerical work,
: - "From observation and experience I
would like .to offer the following rec
ommendation or suggestion to tha city
council: - With the approach of win
ter each year many people are thrown
out of f employment, therefore - it be
comes incumbent upon the city -of Port
land for the -protection of the- citlsena
that .an annual appropriation be set
aside for the purpose of employing,
during this dull season, those who have
been, thus . unfortunately Industrially
displaced."

When you come to examine
