LAW TAKES EFFECT

Seventy-fve applications for
weekly benefit payments under
the state unemployment compen-
sation act were filed at the Red
wood Falls office of the Mime
sofa State Employment Service
during the first three days of this
week. Employees of the office
had time for little other work as
unemployed persons registered in
the hope of receiving the first
payments from the funds contri-
buted by employers, expected In
about three and one-half weeks
for those who prove themselves
eligible.
Forty-five persons out of work
and apparently eligible for the
the compensation are from Red
wood Falls. The remainder re-
present all other county towns
and Echo, Buffalo Lake, Morton,
Hector and other nearby COM
munitieS.
Unemployed may register at
their nearest employment office
and it is expected that many from
Murray, Cottonwood and other
counties in this territory will APP
ply for compensation here as the
program continues. Registrations
were coming in without lull up
to closing time Wednesday.
Many Not Eligible
About 25 ineligible applicants
here were refused compensation.
They include those who have
been engaged solely in farm or
domestic work, state or govern
ment employees, WPA, NYA and

tion-from-service blank and send
it to the employment service.

ed in Redwood Falls by J. w.
Lauterbach, moved to offices on
the first floor of the Granite

in the court house basement to
larger quarters was neceSSitated
by the additional work entailed
in the unemployment compensa-
ton program.

County Board
Gets RulinA
From State \
WELFARE BOARD WILL
HANDLE WORK OF
ADMINISTRATION

The transition of support
of the county's unfortunate
from the poor relief" era in
which every transaction was
public property to the almost
completely secret welfare"
setup becomes complete this
month by order of E. j. Pear
love, comptroller of the State
of Minnesota, members of
the board of county commits
sioners were informed at
their annual meeting here
this week.
Although members of the board
were frankly skeptical of the wis
dom of the ruling, official pro-
ceedings of the board will no
longer contain the closely watch
ed lists of bills paid for poor
families. Old age pension pay
ments published in the annual
financial statement will not APP
pear after this year and even the
expenses of the county home may
no longer be published in county
newspapers for public perusal.
Payments Secret
Welfare bills will be further
guarded from prying eyes by their
removal to the welfare office from
the public record files of the
county auditors office. Pear
loves communication states that
minutes of the welfare board
shall be withheld from publica-
ton and bills filed with the exc
cutive secretary, A. D. McRae.
The state recommended discon-
tinuance of the practice of pub
fishing the bills year ago, it was
stated at the meeting, but this
year the ruling is mandatory.
The county commissioners
function in the relief setup hence
forth will be confined to the APP
preparation of funds to. be adj
ministered by the welfare board.
which includes two commission
crs. George A. Barnes, county
attorney, is chairman of the well
fare board which he stated would
prefer to have the bills published.

and will not adjourn until this
noon. Herman Muetzel was again

William R. Johns was rehired as
superintendent of the county
home and Henry Radtke was re-
appointed court house janitor. =
The court house, Jail and ar
rangements for fuel for county
buildings will be taken care Of
by Mr.. Pease, j. P. Kragh and
Ira r. Rogers, county auditor. Mr..
Muetzel and Phillip Raveling

committee and DR.. J. w. Ander-
son, Herman Beckman and MIR.

ports of Richard Cook, county
engineer and John Arnett, county

poor and old age pension funds
into one, to be termed the welfare
fund, were made. The county
