of all counties was S12561 803 and
on June 80, 1899. thi shad been cut
to S5,595,44
This improvement has been due
entirely to the payment of bonded
debts, for warrant Indebtedness has
recently been increasing and cash
balances reduced On June 30. 1886,
the amount of surplus cash in ex-
cess of outstanding warrants for all
counties. was S2,259 600, while on
June 30 of this year counties had
but S375,000 in their four principal
operating funds with which to meet
over S2.000000 obligations before
taxes are paid in November. Yet

markable in the face of tremendous
demands for expenditures. During

Iy taken from the financial state
ment in the September issue of the

DISCHARGED WPA
MEN DEFEND JOBS
ONE THOUGHT HE WAS
LET OUT FOR DOING
TOO MUCH WORK

st. James-Fourteen men who
were recently discharged from
WPA work in Watonwan county
had their say recently when hear
ings were held in st. James and
Madelia.
AT Madelia the foreman on the
job did not back his complaints
against the men, so he was dis
charged and the men re-instated
for another chance. At st. James
the foreman backed his claims
regarding laxity on the part of
some of the men. All but one,
however, denied they had loafed
on the job, intentionally shirked,
talked too much or whatever their
slips gave as the reason for their
discharge. sbaH
The one man wno admitted
that he could have given better
days work said: 81 don't think
you can pin a blue ribbon on any
WPA man or the foreman for do
ing too much work" One. man
was sure he was being let out be-
cause he was doing too much
work Another thought, 80 per
cent of the crew should have been
given the same kind of notice.
1t was suggested by the city en-
gineer at st. James that it was
expecting too much of one fore
man in asking him to handle so
to 80 men, keep them working
steadily and at the same time see
that materials are kept on hand
whenever needed. He blamed
WPA for not giving more super
ViSorS. r.
Since the dicharge of the group
it was reported that the remainder
of the men "are just whooping
along now. Can hardly keep
things staked out ahead of them"
