SOCIAL SERVICE
BOARD TO MOVE
To COURT HOUSE

Headquarters of the Wayne County
Social Service bureau will be moved
to the court house.
The board of directors of the bureau
at a meeting Friday afternoon decided
to ask the county commissioners for
the use of three rooms on the third
floor of the court house for the differ
ent divisions of the social service
work. Two of the rooms are now be-
ing used by the township assessor, but
will be vacated by May Is. The 9TH
er room is being used for storage. The
commissioners were favorably i'm
pressed with the suggestion this morn
ing but deferred action until this aft
ernoon. All of them agreed to grant
the bureau the. use of the rooms.
Officers Will Move.
The headquarters of the city visit
ing nurse will be in one of the rooms.
Another room will be given over to
the executive secretary and the other
will be used by Mrs. Elizabeth Cand-
Ter, probation officer, as the executive
offices of the board of children s
guardians. AS soon as a county Wis
itipg nurse is secured, her offices will
be with the city visiting nurse.
l.. S. Bowman, member of the So
cial service bureau, made the request
of the commissioners. He said that
one of the reasons for the change was
that the social service secretary will
be nearer to the township trustee, who
dispenses financial aid to the poor.
The new headquarters will also be
near the judge of the circuit court
..th which the executive secretary
has to deal in many of his cases.
The present township trustees Of
flee, which is used only six weeks in
the year will be moved to a room on
the first floor near the county asses
sor's office.

one of them has favored the accept
ance of the banks offer.
As has been pointed out in the
newspapers an arrangement for retir-
ing these bonds prior to their maturity
will save the city considerable sum
which would otherwise be paid out in
interest. Such an arrangement would
hasten the restoration to the city of
$139, 900 of its credit, the legal limit
of which is now 1851 ,000
