Two Terms to Expire.
Before the end of this month, the
Commissioners will pass upon appoint
ments to two other posts on the We'll
fare Board. On June 30, the terms
OF DR.. H. j. Crosson and Mrs. Coralie
Franklin Cook will expire. 1t ap-
pears likely they may be reappointed
Taliaferro resigned in protest
against what he called unnecessarily
lavish disbursement of relief funds.
MILAN resigned after the Commits
sloners had rejected the nomination
OF Robert w. KelsS of Massachusetts,
to be welfare director, but his act
was attributed by some to the move of
Commissioner Allen to strip the We'll
fare Board Of its administrative DOW
ers. Allen later abandoned that
legislative move for the present ses-
sion of Congress.
