Bill 10 Transfer
Welfare Control
Sent 10 Capitol
DC. Heuds Would Gel
Full Authority; Bourd
Would Lose Powers
By John w. Thompson, il

The Commissioners today submit.
ted to Congress their bill to transfer
to themselves control over the city,
public welfare.
The measure, outgrowth Of long
difhculties between the city heads
and the Board OF Public Welfare
would reduce the board to advisory
capacity.
Today's move follows public
hearing several weeks ago at which
citizen groups divided over the issue
Most urged Capitalization of au-
thority In the city heads.
Jurisdiction Split.
Public welfare is now admins
tered under an act OF 1926 which
splits jurisdiction between the
board and the Commissioners. Cit
izen groups were unanimous in ask
ing that the divided authority be
done away with although some sup
ported q more independent well
fare board instead Of the central-
zation under the city heads.
In submitting the legislation, the
Commissioners gave three reasons
for recommending it:
/. The board as an administrative
body is inherently incapable Of rum
ming the department smoothly. re-
gardless of the high quality of Its
members.
2. Heavy administrative response
bilities of the board ''negate" the
services it could perform If it were
relieved Of such responsibilities.
Board Has Autonomy.
3. The claim that the situation
could be solved by giving the board
full autonomy" Is wholly illusory.'
The board already has full auton-
omy 'for all practical purposes"
The bill sets up department OF
public welfare under the Commits
sioners which would function under
the surveillance of the advisory
board. The board would make re-
ports for the correction of defects
and the improvement of conditions
in the welfare field.
