Address communications THE JOURNAL GAZETTE MATTOON, ILLINOIS While conditions in Mattoon may may be much better than are conditions in other nearby cities, the need of employment for the unemployed of Mattoon is urgent, and it has been the hope and aim of several persons in this city that municipal projects would be inaugurated that would supply the necessary employing ment. For a time, it did look as though there would be inaugurated at an early date work of rebuilding and resurfacing certain of our city streets that would give employment to a large number of our present unemployed, and The Jour-, nal-Gazette believes that these particular projects will come in time along with the filtration plant and other projects.

Interested persons have been putting forth every effort to get some of the proposed projects started, but there seems to be a vast amount of details to be worked out before any of the proposed projects can be gotten under way. The local men who have been pushing these various projects are tempted sometimes, because of the delays, to give up in despair but they have continued their efforts with the hope that eventually they may see something developed. One of the causes of the delay no doubt has been opposition to some of the projects by persons of influence right here at home, persons who seem to be unwilling to abandon their prejudice against certain projects even though these projects might provide work for many of Mattoon's idle workmen for several weeks, possibly for several months. The Journal-Gazette has some reason to believe that some of the proposed projects may be brought to a head soon. In case this 1 is done, there should be enough work to relieve the unemployed situation in Mattoon to some extent at least.

INSULL WORRIED OVER LEGAL STAFF Athens, Oct. 23-(INS) -Fears of complications arising from many cooks" beset Samuel Insuil 1 today as he conferred with his legal staff in anticipation of resumption of his extradition hearing tomorrow. The indicted former utilities magnate, it was learned, is seriously concerned over indications he may have made a mistake in engaging the services of three noted Greek attorneys to defend him before the Court of Appeals. He is still confident he will defeat the United States government's second attempt to extradite him to Chicago to stand trial, but is extremely anxious there should be no more bickering among the members of his defense staff.

The motor number had been obliterated and the car had fictitious license plates.
