Council 10 Consider
Welfare Unit Shift

Relocation of the Alexandria
Public Welfare Department in the
city's new Juvenile Court Building
will be considered tonight at a
meeting of the city council.
City Manager Nicholas A. Cola
santo advocated the move as an
economy measure. He said main
tenace for the two departments
would be cheaper by housing them
in one building. The Public We'll
fare Department now is located in
the City Hall. Mr.. Colasantc said
instead Of remodeling the old coun-
Gil chambers for his Office, he could
move into a part of the Offices now
housing the welfare department,
thereby saving remodeling COSTS.
The court building, recently COM
pleted, will be occupied as soon as
the furniture arrives. Mr.. Cola
santo said he believed the Juvenile
Court would not need all the rooms
available in the court building.
r. Samuel Luckett, chairman of
the council School Site Committee,
said he would recommend to the
council tonight that the proposed
site for the new colored high school
be purchased for So, 900. He said
this latest offer of the owners of
the property, which is the block
bounded by Fayette, Payne and
Montgomery streets in Alexandria,
is about $4,000 lower than their
previous offer. Plans for construc-
ton OF the school are being COM
