than four, without taking any legis-
lative action to correct the situ-
alton"
Senator Cary also urged abolition
of the fee system as a means of
compensating sheriffs and city SER
geants, declaring it was "funda-
mentally wrong; the adoption of
system of probation and parole;
extension of public health units to
the So Virginia counties which now
lack such service; greater develop
ment of child welfare service, par
ticularly in the counties; and a re-
organization of the six independent
