Since
Period
i Unemployment listed by local
state employment offices in Aug
ust dropped to the lowest com
parable figure since the end of
the war, the state unemployment
compensation commission reported
Saturday. ; i
Only 23,400 or less than 4 per
cent of the labor ' force of well
over 600,000 were actively seek
ing work August 1, and the num
ber was shrinking rapidly as thou
sands of in-migrants and other
seasonal workers were engaged
in harvesting operations, officials
said.
! Industrial employment main
tained the expansion trend, but
the number of unfilled jobs listed
by local offices failed to keep pace
with the general upswing. Only
25 non-seasonal openings were
added to the 2.290 reported a
month ago but good increases were
noted in skilled and semi-skilled
jobs in lumbering and other basic
industries. Logging and lumber

Of City Charter
LEBANON A group from the
Lebanon Citizen's committee ap
peared this week before - the

city offices now elective to be
come appointive. '
The group would desire the
election by popular vote of three
councilmen from wards, three at
large, and the mayor. Other offi-
workers, an Increase of 37 per
cent over a year ago. .
The number of unemployed vet
erans declined 2,700 during July
to reach 7,300, but comparison
with last year's figure revealed
only a 6 per cent drop as com
pared with 16 per cent (or all
those seeking work. Women em
ployment also fell behind the gen
eral trend with a 5 per cent de
crease from August, 1947 and 17
per cent from July, 1948. The
over-all figure of 23,400 compared
with 30,500 a month ago, 28,000
a year ago and 31,500 two years
ago.
The September ; total was ex
pected to fall several thousands

attorney, chief of police, night
patrolman, city recorder and
street superintendent, would be
appointive by the elected council
and mayor. The plan would also
open the way for hiring a city
manager by the council if they
should so desire.
Since a special election would
probably not be held until after
the deadline for filing, for office
on the November ballot, a ques
tion of legal status and feasi
bility was expressed.
The council . members turned
the request over to a committee
for an immediate investigation
and report at the earliest opportunity.
