BILLS IN LEGISLATURE
.1aVE STATE $4,000 A YEAR
= WOULD ABOLISH OFFICE
or CANNERY INSPECTOR

a., Would Eliminate State Board
y Charities and Turn Work Over
= State Welfare Commission
Tro hills designed to save the State
!, $4,000 annually were presented
ne Senate Friday Afternoon by
,,tOr Hardesty. One provides for
abolition Of the office of cannery
.ns,tOr and the other would, if
saed. abolish the State Board of
.rties. In view of the fact that so
4 has been said about economy,
-sally by the Republican members
he present Legislature, and that
a these measures are for the pur-
! Of ecOnomizing in the State gov
-rent, it is believed both will re-
n favorable action and will be
made effective. The bill providing
The abolition of the office of State
rsy Inspector specifies that the
les now performed by the man
Fng this Office be transferred to
State Health and Welfare Com
-sOn. This action was one of the
lamentations contained in former
gnOr Denney's last message to
General Assembly. A similar bill
!; presented to the Legislature two
an ago but it failed of passage.
B act would save the State $3.50
EAR The salary of the present in
E0r is $1,000 annually and he is
Tsd a contingent fund of $3.50.
Incumbent is Walter F. Keith of
una His name was submitted by
FnOr Denney to the Senate last
x for confirmation, he having been
-1nted since the last Legislature
1med. Pending the change the
irnatiOn has been held up.
70 Cut Out State Charities Board
be second Hardesty bill, if it be-
-S law, will abolish the State
ID Of Charities and provides that
work now carried on by this de-
1ent shall be transferred to the
: Health and Welfare Commits !
This measure would save the
$500 annually for this depart !

lnual salary Of $2,25O; a stem f,
4her 5000 and is allowed $3.50 for /
nangent fund. In addition it is |
Hd $4,000 a year for the care of
Hent children. There might be |
question as to the saving of this
" as such a sum might have to
lpropriated to the State Health
Welfare Commission for the care
aeSe children. There is a rather
Liar situation created as a result
le introduction of this bill. Lieu
