PATTEN TAKES STAND
ON SNdW. REMOVAL
Ahlennan Thomas Patten, third
ward representative and chairman
ot tho street committee, in a state
ment issued today makes a reply to
tho announcement made by Mayor
William C. Wilson recently regard
ing the engagement of additional
men for snow removal.
The statement follows:
"Mayor Wilson's alleged disap
pointment and surprise because as
he says, the alderman did not make
provision tor the removal of the
anew on the city streetH by author
izing the engaging of additional melt'
seems tf> be measured by the politi
cal advantage that he might obtain
out of the situation.
"In the lirat place there 1ms been
no emergency which justliled the
Board ot Aidermen in spending more
money than their budget permits.
Probably there might i>e enough
money on hand to engage additional
laber at this time if it were not for
the fact that there is still coming in
bills incurred by the Republican
board and left unpaid. These are
no w being met and paid out of this
year's budget. .v
• The streets and roads were given
immediate attention after the storm
and were put in first class condition.
Tho mavor undoubtedly feels that
this is a splendid opportunity to
play to tile galleries and appeal for
the sympathies of the many men who
ure out of work. The board has al
ways been ready to give as much
work as possible to these men who
are unfm lunate enough to ho out of
work, but in view of the fact that
conditions did not require additional
Jab-ir and with a shortage of funds,
practical bus-lne«J iflethods had to be
adopted. It in all right for tho may
or tu talk about giving out work,
when he is not tho one to assume
the responsibility to the tax payers
when t’ti bills must be paid.
“The ctroet department under Al
derman Fatte:. will be conducted in
the same way and manner as any
other business man would conduct
his own biuinenr. Efficiency and
business methods must prevail. Pol
itics and political methods can’t en
"Attention Is called to the fact that
pn November 15. 1U21. under the Re
publican administration, the street
budget h..s run out and there was no
mopey with which to pay running
expenses. As a mutter of fact, u.ne’
workingman of the city was obliged
to have five hours pay docked from
his wuges in order to come within
tho Money on hand. For six weeks
thereafter the stVeei department was
operated without lunds and to re
lieve the situation, an additional $5,
000 honri had to be issued. This ex
perience is sufficient and Alderman
Fatten ooes not want It to take

Minstrel Show Pleases Large
Audience at the Majestic
Theatre
“Tlie best ever” was the manner
in which a big crowd yesterday af
ternoon and a crowded house last
night expressed their opinion of the
th'ird annual minstrel show of San
Salvador Council 299, Knights of
Columbus, held In the Majestic
theatre. Xt was a real financial and
theatrical success.
l-'rom the rise of the curtain for
the first act. when the blackface
chorus made a wonderful appear
ance before the well arranged scen
ery, to the last part of the second
half when the tea room in Green
wich Village was raided by a «iuat!
ron of prohibition authorities, tbe.^B
show was carried through with tt> - W
ing colors.
Director John Bird, the commit
tee in charge of the show, l'eter
O’Toole and his assistants in ar
ranging the scenery, and all those
who participated in this year's per
formances deserve a great deal of
credit for the success of this event.
Thomas Fitzgerald, one of the
end men, sang "Mandy ’n’ Me” fol
lowing the opening chorus in the
first act. His number was well re
ceived and he was called upon to
encore as were all the other end
men and soloists who followed him.
Jack Kgan made a decided hit with
his parody for “Dapper Dan,” and
the pen shown by John Bullwinkle
throughout the entire show, espe
cially in singing his number, “Yoo
Hoo,” resulted in his reeciving one
of the biggest ovations of tho per
formances.
uuilll W. J'V^aajr liauu.vw «
signment as mberlocutob in his usual
capable manner, and through his
work the success o£ the first act is
directly responsible. Leading poli
ticians and citizens of this vicinity
were the subjects of jokes cracked
throughout the first half of the
show. The parody for "In the Old
Town Hall,” which was sung by
Francis Dalton and th* entire com
pany, the closing number of the
first half, was also well received.
Gertrude Trimley, a ten-year-old
girl, madd a big hit by her singing
in the curtain act, and Peter Fimi
ani, who also sang two of the latest
song hits, was also well received.
Victor Ricci accompanied at the
piano In this part of the program.
About sixty persons were seated*^)
about tables in a tea room In Green
wich Village when the curtain rose
for the second act. John Bttllwinkie
was manager of the establishment
, Neal Herron, James Murray and
. Dick Deveny served in the capacity
i of waiters, and Joseph McDermott.
Joseph Dalton and Cliff LaRocqtm
made up the flying squadron. There
were eight musical numbers in tins
half and all were well received. The
actions of the participants in this
part of the show caused considera
ble laughter during the progress of
this half.
William H. McDermott headed the
committee in charge of this affair
and he was assisted by John J.
Brennan. Peter (I. O’Toole, John F.
Burns, Jr., Edward C. Ueilley, John
