County Welfare Put on Business-Like Basis

local board members are better
liable to pass on the merits of well
fare applications, and that well
fare should properly be locally
controlled.
Under the existing law, an ap-
Iplicant for relief has the right to
appeal if the application is turned
down by the local board, and the
local board may be overruled and
the applicant placed on the relief
rolls despite its action.
Board members feel this takes
welfare control out of local hands.
They also complain that while
they appoint the local superin-
tendent, the appointment must be
made from list of eligibles pro-
vided by the State Office.
One board member put it this
way:
I'VE are not against welfare.
We believe it is essential and a
good program when well managed.
There are people in every COM
munity. through sickness and
other reasons, must be given as
ESiStance.
I'VE do not believe that welfare

of working.

80 Home Owners Get
Warning 10 Provide
For 0f-Street PARKING

The first 80 of nearly 1000 Wash
ington home owners who have
built since 1949. yet failed to pro-
vide off-street parking facilities
for the dwellings. were warned
yesterday by the Corporation
Counsel's Office in Municipal
Court.
A 1949 building regulation re-
quiring such facilities to ease the
street-parking problem has been
widely ignored here, according to
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King. He emphasized the
courts are empowered to impose
fines ranging from $100 to $500
for violations.
The group called in yesterday
came from the 1900 block of
Queen Chapel terrace NE, in the
Michigan Park subdivision.
Mr.. King said that the majority
told him their homes were built
surrounded by fences, gates of
which are too narrow to admit
cars for driveway parking. Those
summoned agreed to make neces-
Sary alterations.
Other summonses will be issued
soon to a number of residents in
the 1900 block of Eastern avenue
NE, 1900 block of Emerson street
NV, 200 and 800 block of Ogle-
thorpe street NV. 300 block of

WARRENTON, Va, Nov. 80. -
Welfare-more commonly known
as relief-is being placed on a
business-like footing in this pros
porous Northern Virginia county.
The change has been gradual
one, starting several months ago
when members of the Fauquier
County Welfare Board discovered
it was costing more to give away
money in the county than to COL
lect the county taxes.
Board members said they were
amazed to find that the welfare
organization in the county was
costing over $4,000 a year to ad-
miniSter-more than the cost of
the county treasurer's Office.
Last year. a total of 500, 900 was
appropriated for welfare, of which
the county paid about $27, The
balance came from the State and
in some cases. Federal funds.
Staff Cut In Half.
The board got out the ak, with
the result that the local staff
was reduced from six to three
persons. and the local superinten-
dent-a State-approved employe
resigned. The board began an
examination Of the relief rolls
an examination that is still in
progress.
Board members said they fo,. d
persons on relief who had LITTLE II
no reason for being there. They
were removed, and applicants for
help now are examined carefully
by the board before they are
placed on the lists.
There was. for example, a wom-
an drawing relief who owned a
180-acre farm. And there was a
man being allowed enough relief
money to enable him to contrib
ute 81 week to the church.
All of this, the board thought,
was contrary to the philosophy of
welfare. 1t tends, they argued, to
bring up generation that looks
to the State for its support.
Tells Story of Hired Man.
One board member told of the
experience of a neighbor. The
neighbor has a hired man who
cannot be depended on to be at
work promptly each Monday
morning.
Speaking to the hired man one
day. the neighbor asked what he
intended to do when he got old.
He was told his employe would 60
on relief.
But the case that exasperated
the board the most was that of a
dairy farmer who applied for re-
lief for his mother.
Examination disclosed that the
farmer had a gross income of
$4,000 a year, but claimed that
his costs amounted to $4,000 a
year. He had taken over operation
OF the 1arm at the death OF his
father, and his mother had then
given to him her interest in the
estate.
Board members said the farm
probably was worth $4,000, and
that there was $4,000 debt
against it.
Appeal Now Pending.
The application was turned
down, and is now pending appeal
to State Welfare Headquarters in
Richmond.
There is another situation that
ranxles board members-the State
headquarters has the last word in
local welfare matters. They, feel

custody was awarded to the father
by the late District Court Judge

year dismissed a divorce suit

dren. Marylin. 10; Dean, 8, and

Plans
On Procedure
Both Are Designed
To Save Witnesses
Time, Judge Says

/ JuVenlle court mas ADOPTED Two
recommendations by a special
study committee which earlier
this year filed a voluminous re-
port designed to improve court
procedure.
Judge Edith H. Cockrill made
this disclosure to the courts citi-
zens' advisory committee which
held its first meeting yesterday
since organizing two weeks ago.
Judge Cockrill. who spent most
of the meeting explaining detailed
procedure of handling delinquent
children brought into court, re-
Ivealed these two new overall
methods:
l. If child admits an offense,
only he and his parents are
brought in for the first court hear
ing. Formerly, all witnesses, in
cluding police. were summoned for
the first appearance. the judge
said. The new procedure saves
witnesses time. she added.
Schedule Staggered.
2. The courtroom case schedule
has been staggered at different
hours, also to preclude witnesses
sitting around the courthouse for
lengthy periods waiting for cases
to be called. Judge Cockrill said
that heretofore all cases were
called for 10 am.
/ In her general procedural out
line. the judge pointed out that
when an admittedly guilty child
and his parents come to court
they are permitted to make any
statements they wish.
All decisions reached by the
judge are based on the reports
OF court social workers and or
what happens in the courtroom, >
Judge Cockrill said. She added
that in more than IS per cent
OF the cases, she follows the
recommendations of her social
workers.
The judge further emphasized
that the court makes every ef-
fort to rehabilitate the delin-
quent child in the home, as re-
quired by the Juvenile Court Act.
Will Tour Institutions.
But where there are insufi.
cient strengths in the home, it /.
