The Labor Commissioner requested that the City Council authorize the employment of an additional assistant in the City's free employment office. Since the office's opening the amount of business done there had increased to a point that the staff couldn't keep up with it.

The Committee on Labor reported adversely to the request. The Western Central Labor Union offered to construct better accommodations for the office. See full description in Digital Collections
