BEING SOUGHT
City Officials Propose Plan
to Continue WPA Sewer
Work

Hope that the city will be able to
pay it's share of the costs to enable
WPA sanitary sewer projects to con-
tinue to December l was expressed
yesterday afternoon at conference
attended by Controller Martin j.
Sweeney and Commissioners Major
w. Judge and Patrick Perriello. The

raised through the receipt of assess
ments due between now and the end

will be placed in the revolving sewer
fund and can be withdrawn as
necessary to finance the work. AS
sistant City Engineer Henry G
Whitlock estimates that about $685.
900 will be needed to complete prof.
ects now in operation. Additional
funds will be needed, he said, to be-
gin now projects.
The sewer projects give employ
ment to approximately $50 men. The
finance board will seek to keep then
operating until the end of the year
Funds needed after December
may be transferred from other APP

New RULING ON
COMPENSATION
Employers Of 80 or More
Must Pay on Wages
From First of Year

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 1.-Labor
Commissioner Cornelius j. Danaher
announced today that employers Of
eight OF more employees are required
to pay unemployment compensation
contributions on wages paid from
the the beginning of the year. En-
ployers, not previously subject to
the law, were required to pay con-
tributions after the completion of
the twentieth week in a calendar
year during which five or more in
dividuals were employed.
The commissioner explained that
the new ruling is the result of an
amendment to the law passed during
the recent session of the legisla-
ture, which eliminates the twenty
week grace period previously al
lowed employers of eight or more
employees.
The ruling was based upon an
opinion given to the commissioner
by the attorney general, who held
that any employer who was not SUBJ
ject to the provisions of the law on
Jenuary l, 1889 is governed by the
amendment.

worry the S. C. staff in trying to

The Vols use a single wingback
to the right or left, but from a
balanced line, and run reverses and
spinners, although the team does
not shift. Like the Trojans, say the

topnotch ball packers, Cafego. Butler
