! The buildings cost about SAT ZOO
each, according to Robert An
drewS assistant superintendent of
the department. But other work
on the pools and surrounding
grounds will raise the total cost
to an estimated $l75,000.
! Work was begun last Septem-
Der. Mr.. Andrews said the depart
ment hopes to have the pools in
operation for the full summer
season.
On the first floor of each build
ing is a storage room. Office, FL
tration room, two lavatories and
a large open porch. Check rooms,
showers, dressing rooms, toilets
and a first-aid room occupy the
upper floors of the buildings,
which are 40 by 65 feet.

200 each. now are being installed.
In the past, the pools had to be
drained and scrubbed every night.
The same water remained in the
pools all day and had to be hand
chlorinated.
The modernization program at
the two popular pools includes
grading, construction of steps
leading directly from the bath
houses and new seven-foot decks
around the pools.

Public Health Service
Sees D. {. Only Area
Meeting Basic Needs

The District appears to be ths
only area in the nation which /:
spending the money the Public
Health Service believes necessary
for basic community health serv-
ices, according to a guide on pub
lie health areas and hospital ia
ciities issued today.
The study. prepared by DR.
Joseph w. Mountin, associate
chief of the Bureau of State Serv-
ices. and Clifford H. Greve of the
division of State grants, shows
that an area with the population
of Washington should spend al
least $1,886.000 for basic mini
NUNS" During the fiscal year
194T the District spent $2,136, ,00n.
according to the guide.
AS fare as personnel is con-
cerned. the District employs the
recommended number Of physi-
clans, sanitarians and clerks, but
has a shortage of about so public
health nurses.
The detailed State by State
study. intended as a guide rather
than a blueprint for effective Or
ganization of public health units.
describes how regional planning
would enable general hospitals
and local health departments to
use each others resources.
For instance, the study recon-
mends SO local health units be set
up to serve Virginia's 100 coun-
ties Each unit would be at the
center of a population area, and
close to community hospital. A
minimum of "a doctors and 624
nurses would 'be needed under the
plan. The study recommends a
basic expenditure in Virginia of
$5,480,000 year. as compared to
the States actual 1947 expenditure
of $2.343,000.
For Maryland, the study recon-
mends IL local health units,
stated by minimum of Al physi-
clans and AIT nurses. Under the
plan. basic expenditures would be
$3,779,000. In fiscal l947, Mary
land spent $2,02l 900.
Maps prepared for each State
show how local health depart
ments could be co-ordinated with
existing or proposed hospital IA
cilities.
Copies of the ll9-page study
will be sent to State health officers.
State administrators of local
health services and State hospital
officials.

Credit Ratings Okayed By Court

Juneau (R)-Federal Judge George Folta ruled recently in
 favor of two employers in a
 suit against the Employment
 Security Commission over
 experience rating" credits. The plaintiffs ere~the New England Fish and Wards Cove Packing Companies. The decision will require the
 commission to issue credits to
 employers so they may apply
 the credits on payments due under the unemployment com- pensation program. The credits accrue to en- ployers in types of business or
 industry where unemploy-
 ment is low so that the funds | paid in by the employers ex- ceed the amount adjudged necessary to meet needs. The femployers then apply the
 credits against payments due
 thereby reducing their pay
 ment into the unemployment fund.
 : The court ruled that the
 commission had assumed [ legislative powers in constru-
 ing the act so as to cut off , credits.
