TRUSTEES FROM

Funds Can Be Used Only By Direct Relief.

A proposal that Marion County township trustees use relief funds to sponsor WPA projects was blocked today by an opinion issued by Attorney General Omer S. Jack-

‘ son. The opinion stated that “after a ' very careful mination of all statutes” it has been determined that use of township relief funds for purposes other than direct relief would be illegal.” Trustees conferred with the State Accounts Board this week regarding the plan which had been proposed by WPA officials as a means of reducing the direct relief load by putting men to work on WPA projects. 3500 Could Be Aided It was estimated that about 3500 men, many of whom have been laid off because of bad weather and lack of sponsor funds, could be taken off direct relief by WPA if sponsor funds were available, Mr. Jackson’s opinion was con- . trary to a ruling made in St. Joseph " County Circuit Court a year ago. That court's decision upheld a contract entered into between a township and the City of South Bend to co-operate in the financing of WPA projects. The decision was based upon a 1935 Indiana law which empowered public officials to co-operate with the Federal Government in all phases of relief,

-Asks High Court Ruling

Under that contract, which still is in operation, the township provides $6.75 a month for every man taken off direct relief and placed on a WPA project. Center Township Trustee Henry Mueller, after discussing the St. Joseph County ruling with his attorney, said he would not feel free to proceed under that plan unless the Indiana Supreme Court had ruled on it. No such case ever was presented to the Supreme Court.

/UPHOLDS WRITTEN TEACHER CONTRACTS

Officials of school corporations are forced by law to enter into written contracts with all teachers in. advance of the school year, Attorney General Omer 8. Jackson ruled in an opinion today. The opinion was given at the request of Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who was urged to act by the Indiana State Teachers’ As-

sociation. In a letter to Mr. McMurray, As-

sociation Secretary Robert H. Wyatt |;

said that “in some instances written contracts are not entered into at all and in many instances a serious delay is practiced.” The Attorney General's opinion also stated that school corporations failing to ‘have written teacher contracts were not eligible for State aid on teachers’ salaries.
