Township Trustees ay Take Job of Investigating Relief Clients.
Indiana township trustees are ready. to co-operate in the event the investigation of WPA clients is turned over to them by the State Department of Public Welfare, the Indiana Township Trustees Association announced today. Possibility that the work of investigation would be handled by trustees under a new WPA certification system, ‘proposed by the Welfare Department, was foreseen by officials following the merger of the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Relief with the Welfare Department. Thurman Gottschalk, State Welfare director, announced that the new system of certifications had been approved in Washington and had been submitted to the Governor. The Trustee Association, in a public statement, said that section meetings of trustees would be called to work out a unified system of investigation if the task is given to the trustees.
WPA TO GRANT BARRACKS FUND
Engineers to Draft New Project for Emergency Smallpox Quarters.
City and WPA engineers today were to draft a new WPA project for a $15,000. emergency smallpox barracks on City Hospital grounds, with assurance of early approval at Washington. .An emergency request for WPA funds was rejected by the Controller General's office at Washington last week. It did not qualify under WPA emergency rules, which cover only catastrophes by fire and flood, according to Stanton Bryan, deputy State administrator here. Mr. Bryan said he had received assurance from Col. F. C. Harrington, WPA administrator at Washington, that the request, if submitted as a routine project, would receive immediate attention. The procedure of having the project first approved by the regional WPA office at Chicago has been waived, he said, and the project will be sent direct to Washington by airmail as soon as it is drafted. Word that Col. Harrington would act promptly on the project was telegraphed here by Rep. Louis Ludlow and Senator Minton. Mayor Sullivan asked the aid of Rep. Ludlow and Senator Minton Wednesday after Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, advised him that 100 cases of smallpox had developed here in the last six weeks and that the City was with-
