In the heavy winter that followed
they were critical of the snow re-
moval job done here and were re-
warded by the 194l budget which
carries funds for additional snow
removal equipment.
Spring came and so did the bud
get. Additions of more than a mil
lion dollars for school estimates
were recommended and several
items came through the mill-funds
for plans for a new Wilson Teachers
College, school gardens and a Board
Of Education program for the handi-
capped children. The delegates
asked that estimates and revenue
coincide and it worked out that way.
They faced reality in the tax situa-
ton and urged no hasty creation
OF new tax program this session.
They called the $4,000, 900 lump sum
unfair but agreed to wait until next
year to push the Overton program
of Federal contribution according to
land owned here.
After scoring the Commissioners
on reorganization, the federation
members turned on the Zoning Com
mission which includes the three
Commissioners. They called the
Commission arbitrary because they
did not give sufficient weight to the
sentiment of the community in zon-
ing disputes.
In the controversial matter of
relief appropriations, the federation
took a firm stand and asked for an
overhauling of the structure to
eliminate fraud. Grants should be
scaled to point where an incentive
to get a job remained and no family
should get relief if it had a 500
month income, the members
thought.
When the o street fire occurred,
the federation asked for additions
to the building inspectors force.
Such recommendations were later
forwarded by the Commissioners to
the Budget Bureau.
Pre-marital medical tests in which
a certificate would be issued with
the marriage license were supported
by the group in the field of public
health.
This month they wound up on a
note Of national defense by clothing
the Executive Committee with pow
ers to cooperate with the Govern
ment in case of emergency. They
reintroduced an abandoned custom
of an opening prayer and started
the custom of pledging allegiance to
the flag.
But all this business and much
more was not transacted without
fracas. Boundary disputes- per-
