MAYOR'S PLAN TO RELEASE
CITY FUNDS MEETS FAVOR
Councilmnnic Committee Adopts Sug
gestion to Help Unemployed.
Adoption of the plan of action outlined
by Major Illankenburg jesterday for un
tangling the city's finances In the effort
to give work to the unemployed the
coming winter Is regarded as the most
Important Htep taken by members of
Councils In its "relief" campaign.
Independent forces point out today that
upon the ulncority cf the Councilmnnic
bodies and the willingness of the City
Solicitor and City Controller to co-operato
with the Mayor depends the ultimate
success of the Mayor's project.
Mayor Blankenburg's suggestion to tho
Joint committee of Councils, appointed
to ilovloo plans for relief of the unem
ployed, was that a smaller committee
consisting of tho Mnyor, City Solicitor.
L'ltv Controller and Councllmcn to be
named by Chairman Connelly meet and
determine definitely what inunlclpul funds
are Immedlateh available to put under
contract. wh,)t funds need further legis
lation to be available, and what leglsla
tlon should te passed to make all funds
available. The suggestion of the Mayor
was adopted by the Councllmanlc Com
mittee. It M Little, secretary of thj Society
for Organizing Chnritv, asserts that it
the present time there are 20,000 nun
aboe the normal figure of &VO0 out of
employment. lit predicted that tho num
ber might increase b- 20.000 more during
the winter, largely because of tho mi
gratory workmen who come to the city
to spend the winter.
The nnsertlons of Mr. Little, based on
statistics he has compiled, are nt vari
ance with tho prophesies) made In Coun
cils of the suffering that tho winter
would bring to the laborers of Philadel
phia. Ho stated that no relief appropria
tion should be made by Councils and ad
vtewl that work be provided the em
ployable men who are Idle. He said that
charitable Institutions could take care
of the unemplurtble dependents.
