cording to several speakers before
the American Association of Social
Workers, which ended a three-day
conference here yesterday.
The social workers themselves
were given share of the blame
by John Ihlder. executive of the

way of improvement.
Miss Helen M. Harris, New
York settlement worker, also a
speaker, said:
with our present day infla-

with the current rates offered

CHECKING SYSTEM IS
PROPOSED FOR TAXIS
Ordinance May Be Given
Council Monday.

A city ordinance, now being
drafted by the city legal department
at the suggestion of Walter
Boetcher. City Controller. and Chief
Morrissey, would place all taxicabs
on a monthly checking system. The
proposed ordinance will be intro
duced at the City Council meeting
Monday night.
Under terms of the proposal. cabs
will be checked for meter accuracy
and brakes, and operators will be
given certificate of inspection.
Failure to show this certificate will
subject the driver to arrest.
The proposed ordinance probably
will seek to curtail cruising of cabs
in downtown sections to relieve traf-
fic congestion. Chief Morrissey said.
No operator would work more
than II hours in any consecutive "a
hours, and cabs would be limited
according to census figures of Jan.
Il. 1884, Mr.. Boetcher said. Instead
of one cab for each 1000 persons.
there would be one for each 1900.

Miss Hannah Noone, Center

the ruling Of Atty. Gen. Philip Lurz

SAID today.
Atty. Gen. Lutz ruled Yesterday
employment of poor relief investi-
gators should be confined TO one

in the township on relief. and one
assistant investigator. or clerical

Settle Legality Later
We differ on construction of the

then settle the legality later"
He revealed that 81 of the trained
Investigators employed by the for
mer Governors Unemployment Re-
lief Commission have been certi-
fled for township work and that 30
more will be taken on later. That
number probably will be reduced
when the relief load lightens. Mr..

Under the new township Setup.
Investigators will receive approx
mately $40 a month less than they
did with the Federal agency. They
will be paid at the rate of 81 day
with no allowance for auto hire. the
latter in conformity with one of

Four supervisors ON the township

Mr.. Smith said the Lutz ruling
that poor relief claims to County

tlnue buying coal and other supplies
