Institutional
Bill Modified

District and Senate officials
have agreed to rewrite a bill
changing procedures at the Dis
trict Training School to satisfy
Senator Douglas, Democrat Of
Illinois.
Senator Douglas blocked the
bill on the Senate floor last
August, claiming it denied the
constitutional rights of persons
TO be sent to the school.
The institution is for defec-
tive and retarded persons,
mostly children.
The original bill submitted
by the Commissioners was de-
vised to permit voluntary" ad-
missions to the school. A par
ent. guardian or spouse simply
would ask for admission and,
with the District Health Direc-
tors certification, the mentally
affected person would be re-
ceived.
Senator Douglas insisted that
such a person should have the
right, under law, TO object TO
his admission and TO have that
objection adjudicated by a
court. The Senator also feared
that the bill, as written, could
prevent the release Of persons
committed voluntarily"
His aide. Kyran McGrath.
suggested at a conference yes
terday that release procedures
be written positively in the new
draft.
TIL informal work session
was attended by representatives
OF the Senate District Commit
tee. Senator Douglas, the Dis
trict Health and Welfare De-
partments, the corporation
counsels office and a citizens
committee appointed several
years ago to draft the legisla-
ton.

Raise Asked
OnHighwoys

Many OF Montgomery Coun-
tvs road employees, who worked
all Christmas day to keep high
ways open during a severe
snowstorm, need a morale boost
in the form of proper payment
for the job they are doing. the
County Council was told yes
terday.
Public Works Director Jo-
seph c. Kordella asked the
council, in its mid-year finan-
cial review, to authorize $4,000
to raise the salaries of those
who are receiving less money
than they should for their type
of work.
A total of about 30 employees
would be affected by the re-
quest, Mr.. Kordella said, in
cluding laborers who are driv-
ing trucks and truck drivers
who are operating heavy ma
chinery.
THE employees all worked to-
gether on snow removal and
sanding during the emergency
on Christmas from $50 am,
until 1920 pm.," he said. 1T
would be a great boost to their
morale if they had an express
ion of opinion from the council
that the matter is being SER
iously considered and will come
head shortly"
Mrs. Mary Hepburn, a coun-
Gil member commented: 1T is
remarkable that only six of the
county's large labor force failed
to show up for work on Christ
mas day. 1t seems grossly un-
fair for these people to be called
out on Christmas, giving up
their day with their families,
to care for the desperate need
Of the county"

sultant TO the council, advised
members to postpone action
