minds that amount is needed to care
for the INDECENT sick of the city
and county.
The commissioners agreed to enter
into such a contract with the board
of managers of the hospital, and
instructed the city and county at
iOrneys to draft such a contract for
joint signature.
The question of moving the quar-
tiers of the WPA furniture, sewing
room and handicraft projects from
their present quarters to the Com
modify Warehouse, where the food
stamp plan offices are to be set
up, was discussed.
Mrs. Gladys Proctor, in charge of
women's and professional projects OF
the WPA, reported the safety in
spector of the WPA will not allow
the projects to be moved into the
building due to low ceilings in the
basement, Inadequate ventilation,
inadequate lighting facilities, made
quate heating facilities and made
quate fire exits.
The rent on the Commodity Ware
house is $50 a month and on the
WPA headquarters is $75 a month.
Moving of the stamp plan offices
to the WPA quarters was also dis
cussed, but reports revealed there
is not sufficient room in the build
ing for both, if the relief recipients
are to be given sheltered standing
room while waiting to purchase
stamps rather than to stand out
on the streets.
There was much discussion. Two
motions made and seconded.
One was withdrawn and then made
as a resolution motion. Then, J. E.
L. Wade, city commissioner of pub
lie works, moved a point of order,
pointing out that previous action of
the board establishing the food stamp
plan offices in the commodity ware
house and failing to mention any
moving of the WPA quarters, pre-

Before leaving his senate seat for

Mass introduced a bill to select for
one-year enlistments enough men

Endorsing the principle of COM

funds:
1.-The congress is now considering
the enactment of a system Of selec-

can make certain that when this
modern material becomes available
it will be placed in the hands OF

And that replacement material can

In a sharp dissent before the SEN

HOSPITAL FUNDS
ARE 'LECALIZED'
Building Money To Be
Paid Over For Care Of
INDECENT Sick

The city and county commission
ers, meeting in joint session in the
city council chamber yesterday,
changed the method by which they
will make it possible for the James
Walker Memorial hospital to build
an 1920, 900 addition to its present
facilities.
Previously the commissioners hac
agreed to appropriate $4,000 eacf
for the hospital for the current lis
cal year with the idea $4,000 should
be used for the care of the INDECENT
sick and that $4,000 would be used
for capital outlay.
But, W. B. Campbell, city attor'
ney, pointed out yesterday morning,
it is not legal for the boards to ap-
propriate money for the building OF a
hospital but the boards do have a
legal right TO appropriate any
amount of money to any such In
stitution as it deems necessary lol
the care of the INDECENT sick.
He recommended the commission
ers enter into a contract with the
hospital to care for the INDECENT sick
for the next six years for a total of
$40, 900 per annum, 100000 to come
from the city and a similar amount
from the county.
If, he pointed out, the hospital
wishes to spend part of that money
for the erection of hospital faclll-
ties, it is of no concern of the COM
m~issioners.
But, he pointed out in addition,
before the commissions have a right
to appropriate $4,000 per annum,
they must be satisfied in their own
