Total number of Officers and Employes not subject Total number of persons in the City Service...... 93 163 3,139 At almost all times a number of the skilled and common laborers included in the above are laid off when there is not sufficient work for them, and especially during winter the Superintendents are required to assign the men to work in relays, so as to give them all an opportunity for a part of the work, excepting the employes of long standing needed for the special work requiring experience and training, who are rarely laid off. Thirty extra clerks required in the Treasury and nine in the City Clerk's department during a part of the year, have not yet been placed under the rules and are not embraced in the above report. The The city territory covers 21 square miles, or 13,600 acres. streets are 499.538 miles long, of which 73.936 miles are paved, 223.103 miles are otherwise improved, and 202.499 miles are unimproved. The water pipes laid now measure 318.585 miles. Considered in connection with the work being done in the public parks on the East, West, North and South Sides, many other improvements, the collection and disbursement through a thousand channels of nearly 4 million dollars in money, the reduction of the death rate to a minimum by improvements in the sanitary arrangements, the good and clean general condition of the city, these figures will fully explain the necessity of so large a number of officers and employes. In conclusion I take pleasure in stating that all departments of the City Service upon the whole comply willingly and in good faith with the requirements of the Civil Service Act and City Service Rules. I hope that it is a good foreboding for the future success of the reform. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H. DOERFLINGER, Chief Examiner and Secretary. 4.
