Unemployment
Office Here
Nav Be Closed

Economy was given as the rea-
son for closing Of the local office
of the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation. However, accord
ing to Emil Yerian, local mana
ger, the office may remain open
due to pressure from local busi-
ness firms and manufacturers.
A week ago an agent for the
Bureau came to London and sta
ted that the office is being
closed" and further stated that it
was being done as an economy
move by the State Bureau. When
the Columbus office was contac-
ted, this newspaper was told that
it was believed that the London
office would remain open with
reduced staff but that nothing
positive can be released at the
present time.
At the present time it isn't
known whether the office will be
closed or not since what is term
ed as, "a great deal of pressure,
has been applied by local busi-
ness and veterans organizations.
A statement from the Columbus
office which was to have been
released Monday morning was not
forthcoming but further action on
the matter is expected, it was
said.

Mandamus Suit Expected
By County Commissioners


Maurice Beathard, appointed to
fill the vacancy in the Probate
and Juvenile Courts following the
death of Harvey B. Edwards, IS
expected to file a mandanaus ac-
ton against the Madison County
Commissioners as the result OF
the Commissioners refusal to
appropriate more money for cx-
penses for Beathard's office.
The yearly appropriation for
the offices ran out at the end
of October and inasmuch as
Beathard had made several in,
ereases to his employees as we'll
as adding his wife to the payroll.
the appropriation set for the. year
IS not enough to meet the in
creased costs, it was said.
Previously, the offices had been
maintained in the amount of
$500 per year, which amount
the Commissioners had set aside
to run the offices this year. How
ever, Beathard made immediate
increases to employees and added
his wife. Nancy, to the payroll.
According to latest available in-
formation, Beathard has cut back
Mrs Beathard's salary to SITS.
from the proposed $500 salary
originally specified. Beathard has
also expressed that he will add
an investigator to the payroll but
the salary required for such Of
flee has not been made known. It
is believed that, with the addi-
ton of an investigator. the cost
of running Beathard's offices win
increase from S8,70O to more
than $4,000

sioners is as follows:
