Establishment of Welton school as city welfare headquarters was predicted exclusively in The Demo- crat almost two weeks ago. Efforts have been underway since the first of the year to centralize all welfare department work, now scattered through @ number of offices in the city hall and with the food supply base on Center street.
 Opposition Doubted
 Republican members of the board of education were undecided today as to whether they would oppose the move for closing of Weltoa school. With Democratic members all in favor, however, the Republi- can commissioners are expected to limit themselves to questions as to the necessity of the closing of an- other school and the effect of such a closing on the school system. The proposal will come before the board of education Monday night.
 Welton school, located on Welton street, will be closed at the end of the present school year, next month and the alterations necessary be- fore the welfare department takes over the building will be begun at once. The welfare board, with Rev. Roger B. T. Anderson sitting as Q member for the first time, not only voted the change last night but also voted to recommend to the boards of finance and aldermen that the sum of $s,500 be transferred from the hospital appropriation to make the necessary alterations at Welton school and install needed equip- ment.
 Removal of the welfare depart- ment from the city hall will make possible Q shifting of several pres- ent city hall offices. One change will be the centralization of all tax office activities. Branches of this office are now scattered about the city hall.
 The controllers office, 1t is be- lieved, may be moved from the first floor of the city hall. Transfer of several other offices may prove necessary.
 Changes Likely
 One plan under consideration by Mayor Vincent Scully is for the of fices of the budget director and the purchasing director established in the quarters now used as the main office of the welfare depart. ment. The assessors office may have to be changed, also.
 Welton school this year has li4 pupils, but has no grades beyond the fifth. It is planned to trans- fer the students In September to Maloney. Walsh and Hendrioken schools.
