PUBLIC WORKS
PROGRAM BILLS
Legislature at Dover Still Is
Discussing the Ways and
Means For Financing 1t
INTRODUCTION OF BILL

Authorization of loan by the
State of S2,5OO,0OO from the funds
of the State Board of Education
for the purpose of financing a pub
lie works program to be adopted
by the General Assembly is pro-
vided for in a bill introduced in
the Senate Monday afternoon by
Senator Van SAINT This proposed
act is termed the most important
measure that the Legislature will
have to consider at the present
special session because it is the
bill that will if adopted, provide
the money necessary to carry out
watever public works program
that may be adopted for the re-
lief of the needy and to provide
work for the unemployed through
out the Winter. This is the adj
ministration's plan for the financ-
ing of the works program. The
Senate has already adopted a res
olution placing itself on record as
favoring such a loan from the
school fund but this resolution at
present is buried in committee in
the House which body has never
concurred in it. This has caused
the belief that the Democratic
majority of the House will not ac-
cept the proposal. It is under
stood that when the Legislature
reconvenes next Thursday there
will be introduced in the House a
bill to authorize a loan Of $780,
900, probably by the sale Of bonds,
for a public works program but
that the work will have to be car
ried out under the provisions of
the National Recovery Act which
provision is not incorporated in
the measure introduced by Sena-
tor Van SAINT. Under this propos-
ed act the trustee of the school
fund who is the State Treasurer
is authorized to invest S2,5O0,OOO
of the school fund in the certifi-
cate of Indebtedness authorized by
this act. This certificate of in
debtedness is to be issued over the
signature of the Governor, the
Secretary of State and the State
Treasurer. The loan would be
made at 3 IL per cent interest,
payable semi-anually and the act
specifies that the interest charges
are to be paid by the State High
way Department from revenues
obtained from the same sources as
supply the interest payments on
highway and road bonds.

STATE
3 u. S. CAMPS
Wilmington, Dover and Laur-
ell To Be Concentration
Centers in Delaware
DODGERS EXPECT WORK

Federal Relief Administrators
a m ounce three concentration
camps to be established in Della
ware to shelter transient unem-
ployed persons this Winter The
camps will be at Wilmington,
Laurel and Dover and will be ad-
ministered through the State Re
lief Agency. Delaware was rec
emily given an allotment of FEEDER
al funds for caring for transient in
need of relief. A further allot-
ment may be made if it can be
shown more money is required to
handle the problem in the State.
Shelter and food will be provided
at the camps and the transient
will be given employment on pub
lie improvements until they have
earned enough to pay their trans
portation home. The administra-
ton has issued a warning that
while relief will be given worthy
persons according to their needs,
the camps are not designed for
persons expecting a holiday at the
Governments expense. Because
Delaware is on the main north
south route of transients it is ex-
pected to swell it's transient relief
burden. The problem of caring
for transients is expected by the
administration to be most serious
in Florida, louisiana, Texas and
California, due to the drift of the
unemployed southwark to escape
the north's severe weather. Relief
officials here, had not received any
specific information as to just
where the concentration camps for
transients are to be situated in the
three towns. According to E. G..
Ackart, the matter was not
brought up at all in the meeting
OF the Emergency Relief Commits
sion, Saturday morning. The fact
that the men will be put to work
on public improvements" as
pointed out, may mean they will
De competing to some extent with
delaware men for public works
jobs here.

BETTER PROFIT
FROM PULLETS
Can Be Gained By Following
Program Outlined by r. E.
Wilson, County Agent
TEST ON IL KENT FARMS

This is the second year in which
the project for the raising of bet
ter and healthier pullets has been
included in the program of work
in each county of this state, as all
realize that in order
to raise profitable egg producers
it is necessary that careful atten-
ton be given to the care and man
agement of their fiocks which are
the foundation of a successful
poultry business. In order that
records might be secured in re-
gard to the results of this project
a survey is being made of repre-
sentative poultry farms in each of
the three counties by the county
agents in cooperation with H. S.
Palmer, extension poultryman of
the University of Delaware, and
H. R. Baker, poultry disease path
ologist of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, and this information will
be presented to the poultry rails
ers when this project has been
completed for this year. In Kent
county this project this year is
being conducted on seventeen
farms, and County Agent Russell
E. Wilson reports that these rec
ords to date include 81, sos baby
chicks started, with loss of 1856
chicks, or 10.4 per cent, during the
first eight weeks. From the stand
point Of diseases, this survey indi-
Gates that no bronchitis was pres
ent in these fiocks, but coccidiosis
was reported in eleven focks.
Within the next few weeks this
survey will be completed 20 in
clude the number of pullets raised
from thees chicks, and the gener-
al condition of the f1ocks with ref
erence to paralysis and other dis
eases which are common among
pullets about the time they are
being placed in their laying hous-
es for the winter. In the compile
ton of this project records will
also be obtained showing the
number of recommended points
followed by the poultrymen in
raising their hocks from the time
the chicks are Matched until the
pullets reached the laying stage.
On the twenty farms that were
included in this project in 1882
those poultrymen who followed the
majority Of the recommended
practices in rearing their f1ocks
had a chick mortality loss of only
89 per cent, as compared to a
loss Of 11.2 per cent in those
fiocks where about one-half of the
points had ben followde through
out the season. Taking these facts
into consideration, it will be of in
terest to poultrymen to compare
he results this year with those Of
the previous year, for in many in
stances the same poultry farms
are included in these two surveys.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission ex-
poets to launch soon an investigation
of the salary schedules of corporations
whose securities are listed on the New
York Stock and Curb Exchanges.
Chairman Charles March said today
that while the inquiry has not yet
been directed formally, it soon Will
be-"
A report on salaries paid by such cor
porations was requested by the Senate
in a resolution of Senator Costigan,
Democrat, of Colorado. Although not
required by law to fulfill such requests
unless both houses of Congress make
the demand, the commission has 1ull
authority to go ahead.
In line with such an inquiry are
regulations now under preparation Tor
administering the new securities act.
Corporations reporting data on new
securities issue must include, among
other facts, the remuneration" paid di-
rectors and officers. The commission
says this would cover bonuses as well as
salaries.
The security regulations and the
forms on which corporations make their
reports, may be ready within 10 days,
though the act does not take effect
until late in July.

the regulations to make SIM
plicity their objective" March said.
THE rules, of course, will have to be
modified from time to time to meet the

incentive IS SEEN
FOR CHARITY AID
EIWood Street Hopeful of
Federal Unemployed Re-
lief Program.

The Federal Governments program
of unemployed relief should prove ar
incentive to private donations fer
charity during the coming months, in
the opinion of Elwood Street, director
of the Community Chest
Mr.. Street, who returned yesterday
from the National Conference for So
cial Work in Detroit, said that the
prevalent idea among social workers is
that private philanthropy will match
the example Of the Government by Civ
ing to those relief needs for which the
Government makes no provision.
President Roosevelt, in signing the
bill, Mr.. Street said, pointed out that
"the present act would cause a real
calamity if it resulted in a decrease
Of the sense of responsibility among
private 3givers. Their support of the
voluntary welfare services so essential
to our commonweal is required more
than ever. This provision of life's ne
cessities should be an added incentive
for the most generous possible re-
sponse to the appeals of Community
Chests and other welfare organizations
throughout the Nation"
Calling attention to the many needs
outside of those engendered by unem-
ployment, Mr. Street said:
Social workers and social thinkers
of the United States are more hopeful
than they have been for four years in
consequence of the legislative enact
ment of President Roosevelt's program.
Fear in the face of the terrific and
mounting burden on relief for the un-
employed for which there seemed no
adequate program was characteristic of
the conference year ago in Philadel-
phia. Optimism and the belief that
even though the burden of relief was
greater it could be handled adequately
with Federal relief appropriations
rounding out the efforts of States and
municipalities and private funds; and
confidence in the constructive possibili-
ties for human service in the immediate
future were the characteristics of this
years conference"
