The reported failure Of the

Violations Alleged.
Mr.. Goldstein said the Senate
Finance Committee also had de-

in the capital improvements
program. This is financed by Is

and should not include items
which wear out before they are
paid for.
For example, he said. the bond
bills include bedspreads, mat
treSses, recreation benches. picnic
tables and similar equipment.
Mr.. Goldstein and his commit

if not unanimous, backing.
The Family Court Center"
here is really a branch of the
lucas County Court of Common
Pleas. Judge Paul w. Alexander,
is assigned as the presiding
jurist, is elected with other
judges to the bench of Common
Pleas.
Child Study Section.
The center is more than a
domestic relations court for di-
vorce and paternity litigation. 1t
includes the Toledo Juvenile
Court and also a third section
known as the Child Study
Institute.
{ The Toledo Domestic Relations
Court started operating in 1925.
At that time it began conducting
some family service in divorce
cases. This was rendered by
probation officers, who were then,
and still are. on a separate
juvenile court payroll.
A new law in 1888 provided
for divorce Investigations as they
are now known. But only selected
cases were investigated.
The law was amended in 1851,
making Investigations mandatory
in all cases which involve child
under IA years old. Under this
amendment, the present mar
riage counSeling department was
set up
The people who started the
court in 1925 would never recog-
nize the Family Court Center as
its offspring.
In Fancy New Building.
The center is a fancy new
building that cost Lucas County
SIT million. It's clear the tax
payers wanted it. They voted not
long ago to impose a new levy
on themselves for the specific
purpose. Judge Alexander and
his organization moved in last
fall.
The edif1ce is something to be-
hold-a structure of modern
architecture and handsome ap-
pointments. It is bright and
cheerful place, with lots of COM
fort. Its informal rooms would
appeal to anyone, but particu-
larly to youngsters, for walls are
painted in pastel colors that
match the shades of popular ice
cream flavors.
The visitor would hardly sus-

using a master key to unlock
each door as he passed from one
spacious room to another.
