Alumni May Supervise Future
 Plans or Cheshire Academy
Profit-Making System Is Likely to Discontinue;
 Scholarships Planned

Roxbury Preparatory school ir Cheshire, one of the best known institutions of its kind in the coun- try, is soon to be reorganized and will then operate under the oficial name, the Cheshire academy. At least, this is the plan set forth in a bill introduced in the legislature by Senator Frank McDermott of the 14th district, of which the town of Cheshire is part.
 Drastic Changes
 Furthermore, the bill provides that four scholarships yearly will be given Cheshire students. The change in the management of the institution under the provisions Of the bill will be very drastic, it is un- derstood. The school will drop it's present profit-making program sf operation and will be operated url- der the direction of alumni mem bers, 1t is understood.
 Roxbury Preparatory school has been in existence for long number of years. Before being named the Roxbury school 1t bore two other titles. However, under the name of Roxbury the institution has gained notice and students from all parts of the country at tend the school.
 To Hold Hearings
 No date for a hearing on the Me- Dermott bill has been set as yet. However, 1t is believed that the bill was introduced at the request of those directly interested in or con- nected with the school and that there will be no opposition voiced to the change in the corporation regulations when the hearing takes place.
 Arthur N. Sheriff is the present at Roxbury school. l. is not known whether the proposed change in the method of operating the school will involve any changes in the staff at the institution.

Continued from Page D suit of the floods and cold weather. Sleet turned to snow here last night. Professor J. L. Kendall, U. s. meteor ologist, said that Louisville, like other cities, would benefit by the turn to colder weather because 1t would reduce the rate of rise of the river.
 The river stage was 49.5 feet early today and was expected to go to 50 feet before the day was over. The flood crest was expected here 36 hours after 1t passes Cincinnati.
 Believed at Crest
 Cincinnati, O., Jan. 23-(UP)- The record-breaking Ohio river flood was believed at its crest here when the river remained stationary at 72.6 feet between 6 and 2 a. m. today. The flood level is 52 feet. U. s. meteorologist w. c. Devereaux said the river might rise another inch or two before receding. But bitterly cold weather slowed the rapidity of it's rate of rise and brought hope to thousands of flood sufferers through out Ohio. It was believed that the worst for this flood stricken city, where property damage already amounted to $5,0OO, ,000, was over.
 The flood had driven 10000 per- sons from their homes in the great CT Cincinnati area, but many more were affected indirectly by the flood and cold. Street car service ran two or three hours behind schedule. Automobiles couldn't make the hills because of icy streets.
 Only the Southern Railway oper- ated out of the city. Others had been stopped by the high water. The gravest danger to Cincinnatians was that their water and electric services would be stopped. The wa ter works makes business of hand ling a lot of water but when the Ohio river poured into the pumping station faster than 1t could be pumped out, there was danger of a stoppage.
 The city planned to get power from Dayton and Indianapolis should its own power plants fail.
 It was impossible to get from su- burban Newport, Ky, to Cincinnati because of the high water. The great suspension bridge was the only con- meeting link between Cincinnati and Covington, Ky.
 All except relief workers and ofii- cials were barred from Covington streets last night when police set up regulations approximating martial law.
 Small Towns Isolated
 Literally scores of small river towns nearby either were inundated or cut of by road from the outside. Among these were Ripley, Ranches ter, New Richmond, Aberdeen Georgetown and Higginsport.

DEMISE OF ERC
 WEARS REALITY
Commissions RecOniiiien- datiOns May Alter Relief
 Distributions

Just how activities of the local welfare department will be affected by the recommendations of the Emergency Relief Commission, corl- tained in the final report of activi- ties for the past three years, is not known at the present time. It is believed the recommendation sug- gested by the FRO, which will 70 out of existence the end of this month, will bring about changes in the general arrangement of dis- tributing relief grants throughout the state.
 Tuesday, January 26. in Hart ford, there will be a public hearing in connection with g bill which will be submitted to the 1897 general assembly relevant to suggestions for state relief administration fol- lowing the demise of the FRO. Y The backbone of the connis- sion's recommendation for relief administration in the state is. that the "grants-in-aid" to the towns by the sta.e be substituted in place of the present reimbursement for payment of relief given to specific individuals. This will leave the towns and cities with the power of administering local relief as they have been doing under the conn., mission. The "grants-in-aid" idea, contained in the social security act, according to the ARG, will strengthen the administration of local relief by the process of the state granting money to towns and cities, based on each towns or city's proportion of allowable relief ex- penditures.
 Under 8 grants-in-aid system, the state would assume or1e-third the cost of local relief, including the cost of care of relief persons in gen. eral hospitals; one-third the cost of care of dependent children under l6 living with relatives; one-quarter. the cost of dependent blind. The state would continue to disburse re- lief to the aged and to the widows Cor mothers under broadened 1Lw for widows aid), and the proposed towns share of or1e-quarter of the cost of the aged, and one-third of widows aid, would be deducted from the states grant to the town. The state would also asuIne the total cost of relief for persons in state 
 The economy which would result from correlation of administrative and financial responsibility would accrue to the advantage of the tax payers of the state, whether as con- tributors to state taxes or to local taxes.

any assistance 1t might give to these hospitals from services to state cases and would include In local relief costs upon which a state grant was allowed the costs of care in other than state institutions, subject to the same control at standards to de- terminc reasonable cost as In other types of relief.
 Locals Would Pay
 Under this plan the local relief department placing the persons in the hospital would pay' the bill and the institution would receive the full cost of care for persons sup ported from public funds. It Is be- lieyed that the local hospitals would benefit under this plan as the grants now given them by the state do not cover the cost of work among the poor patients in full.
