MAXIMUM NUMBER
FOR RELIEF UNIT
SITUATION RELATIVE TO EN-
PLOYMENT CLEARED UP IN
INFORMATION REcE WE'D
BY CHAIRMAN DEMERITT

Further clarifying the situation
relative to employment of Key
Westers on Civil Works Admins
tration and Federal Emergency
Relief projects, was a telegram
received early this morning by
Chairman w. w. Demeritt.
This sets forth in unmistakable
language that the local council is
authorized to employ a maximum
of 1,104 men at 30 hours weekly
on all CWA projects.
Under no conditions and at no
time will the council be permitted
to exceed this allotment, nor will
any increase of the hours allotted
be permitted.
Only 1887 of these men are to
be paid by Civil Works checks, the
remainder to be paid in cash from
funds of the FERA. The man
hour allotment is placed at 1884,
1872.
ct is not expected" the tele-.
gram shows. "that the allotments
will be exhausted in every county"
Relative To Women
The employment of lat women
on Civil Works Service projects
is authorized, these to be paid
from FERA funds. Authorization
will not be given to exceed the al
lotment Of women nor to pay them
from CWA funds.
(Note that the l,lO4 men
And lat women total 1,25l
&mployes as shown to be the
nufaber authorized fer work,
IN several previous issues of
The citixen.)
The telegram advises "If the
foregoing allotments exceed your
present available number of reg
istrants who were on your active
relief list as of November 16, adj
wise the Tallahassee office. But
do not, under any circumstances
on any other source to fill your
quota
The chairman is asked to ac-
knowledge receipt of the wire in
communication to the capital aud
to govern your program accord
ingly."
In addition to the above instrue-
tions the social service branch of
the local council, and others
throughout the state, have been
called on to make a check of all
assignment cards against the re-
lief list.
Survey Matter
This is being done to determine
to an absolute certainty that all
of those who have been assigned
cards on CWA or CWS projects
were on the active relief lists as
of November 16.
Cases have been reported to the
headquarters in Tallahassee, it is
shown, where men are working on
the CWA lists who were not on
the relief lists before November
10, and check up is necessary to
determine why these cards were
issued and by whom.
a number of cards have been
recalled At Key West, principally
from men who have been declared
too old to work five days weekly.
II Is understood that the great
Ter number Of these viii be supplied
with certain articles of food and
money, on orders providing for
direct relief. The maximum sum
allowed those on direct relief isl
50 monthly. it is said.

Personally I have wasted many

authentic. Jay Gould (vaude-
vile actor who once teamed with
the Millership sisters) married
Lorraine Manville with whom he
appeared in the musical comedy,
"Plain Jane" So via wedding
bells he cut himself in on a share
of the asbestos millions.
