procedure by whom the new men,
ber is to be commissioned should
the time ever come to fill vacancy.
/ The language of this sentence seems
to lead to the opinion that some one
! will be obliged to consult the men,
bers of the political party to which
the member belonged, to the extent
of all its membership-quite a task
for some one-be it the Governor or
some one else.
lin order that our friends may be
assured as to the filling of vacan-
cies, the discarded sentence has
been replaced by the following one:
ANY vacancy occurring for any
cause among any of the members of
the commission shall be filled by ap-
pointment by the Governor upon
the recommendation of the remain
ing members of the commission of
the political party to which the
member causing the vacancy be-
longed."
Change in Section IS
"A clarifying change has been
made in Section 10, dealing with
additional work relief by the State
Highway Department by the addi-
ton of the words, to define the re-
lief director who is to employ the
persons on the work, city of VIII
mington, or rural New Castle cOun-
ty, or Kent county, or Sussex coun-
ty, in whose jurisdiction" etc.
Section IS contains the plan for
financing an appropriation of two
million dollars, or so much thereof
as may be needed, to be used for the
purposes of the act, viz: to furnish
direct relief to the needy and to
provide work for those able to work.
Briefly, the financial scheme is to
divert the franchise tax, assessed
and collected for the use of the
State from the school fund, where
it is now allocated, to the general
fund to the extent of one million
dollars. ....
"This million dollars, now avail
able, and another million dollars to
be received within the next week
or two will be more than ample to
permit of such appropriation.
"This money can be appropriated
without harm to the school fund, and
emergency relief provided on pay
as-you-go' basis.
Il do not need to to&ppress upon
you the urgent need vi this legis-
lation to relieve dire distress and in
deciding this issue may your con-
science be your guide.
