"To tho City Council of the City of
.Medford.
"Gentlemen: I m triad to report
that the city of Modfonl is in excel
lent financial condition. F.ory obli
gation of tho city during the past year
has been promptly met. There is suf
ficient money in all of the funds of
the city to meet the nrohable e.xnundi-
tures until the ta.xe. for the yeur
1011! arc payable. In wew of the
fact that the levy for the year 11)11
was exceptionally low, being only 8
milK. this result is most gratifying,
and 1 believo will convince the tax
payers of the oily that their public
affairs liave buenfcotioinieally ad
ministered. "It is only fair to call attention to
the fact that while the tax levy for
11)11 was S mills only (J mills of
this amount wits available for cur
rent operating e.xM)iises. One mill of
the S mills was levied for the pur
Mise of constructing the now bridge
across Rear creek. The money has
been retained ia tho treasury. An-
other mill has been levied for the en
suing year for the same purOfC, and
when it has been collected in there
will be a fund substantially sufficient
to erect the new bridge across the
creel; at Jaeksoa street, and the bur
don will not Imve been felt by the
taxpayers of the city. Another mill
of the 8 mills letied last year was
for the purKse of tinying for the
sanitary sewer which was laid before
the present "administration took of
fice, the payment for which no pro
vision bad been made. The monevs
collected from this mill of taxation
was paid on account of this sewer.
The moneys voted by the people at
tho special election last March for
tho pnrixiso of taking up the wooden
wator pipe on Ka-t Main street and
replncing it with iron piw and for
paying tlio cost ot necessary storm
sewers have been expended in accord
anco with the prowMous of the char
ter amendment, execntinir that nor-
tion of the money xvbioh was to be
used for improvements in the lire de

"This latter iortion of the money
voted is still in the hands of the city
treasurer, excepting nliout $i)Ol),
which has been expended for fire
hose. A now, modern automobile fire
truck has been ordered by tho city
and tho same is expected within u
few weeks. There are ample funds
in the bunds of the city treasurer to
pay for this autoiuobilo truck, to
gether with all the ueoessary equip,
mont in cash upon its arrival, and
thoro will bo left in the fund a sub
stantial amount.
"For the ensuing year thoro has
been levied n tax- of f)U. milU li
must bo borno in mind, however, that
1 null ot this amount has been levied
for a, bridge fund to pay tho cost of
tho now' bridge across Hear oreok.

GREAT DEMAND
60,000 GIRLS
ON STRIKE IN
NEWYORKSBON
With 25,000 Out and 10,000 More to
Go Today, It Is Expected That
Fully 60,000 Workers Will Be Out
hy Tomorrow In New York.
LAUNDRIES SAID TO BE
NOTHING BUT "HELL SHOPS''
Six Hundred Steam and 15,000 Hand
Laundries Are Affected Con
ditions Arc Bad.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3. With 25,000
laundry workers on strike and an
other 10,000 to go out tonight New
York today is facing tho most sorious
laundry famine in its history,
Hy tomorrow it i expected that
00,000 workers will be on strike,
necessitating the closing down or 000
steam and 15,000 hand laundries la
New York alone.
William Armour, who is conducting
the strike, claims that it will involve
Jersey City, Newark and other Jer
sey towns to w'hich it was hoped ttio
metropolitan laundry might be sent.
Although the strike is yet only in
its incipiency, all householders have
already been notified that ciuiek work
is impossible. It is believed that this
condition will persist and a general
shutdown will be enacted. Strike
breakers cannot well replace thu
strikers because the claims against
laundries for toni linen and that
bunied by inexperienced workers
would result in such great financial
lass as' to'tniike (he employment of
"green" hands impracticable.
"If Upton Sinclair had worked in
New York laundries he would bavo
written a book and onlled it "The
Holl,' " said Margaret Hinchay, for
20 years prominent utnong the laun
dry workers of New York, today.
Shaking for her fellows Miss
Iliuchny said tho working conditions
xvero wretched, the rooms filthy and
unsanitary and the hours 12 hours n
day wits only u half hour for lunch
and no pay for overtime. The super
heated rooms, she said, wero filled
with particles of lint, and tubercu
losis is common among the workers.
Tho women's dressing rooms, she de
clared, were open and exposed to tho
view of tho men employed and in
many places men and women wore
forced to dros in the same room.
Miss Hinohay declared that the
nvernge wage of ?4 to $5 a week was
fo.cing hundreds of girls into immor
ality, the more so, sho insisted, as
dockiag was general whenever im
hour or a day was lost.
"If a girl is injured by tho ma
chinos," Miss llinclmv continued,
"lm seldom gets damagos, although
sometimes the laundrios do pay her
hospital oxpoiis-oo. I have heard vilo
mouthod superintendents mirso tho
girls like slaves. Child labor laws
are consistently violated and girls
by tho huudred who uro only 13 or
14 years of ago work constantly.
"Wo demand that our hours bo re
duced to 10 a day; wo demand that
tho mangles nnd other cruel machin
ery bo properly safo guarded; we de
maud that our wages be increased
frdlS to 20 per cent and, above all,
wo demand that children bo kept out
of tho 'Hell shops."
