It was argued by Senator Roden that it was not fair that those in public office do work on the out- side when there are so many others that need jobs. He pointed out the national scheme was one of spreading work and that public employees on the whole received| substantial salaries.

The Senators prob- ably will act favorably on the House memorial as the concensus definitely against the settlement unless provision is made by Federal Government to care for the colonists, provide schools for them and pay their transportation back in case the venture fails. The ‘Territory, it is pointed out by the Legislators, is in no financial con- dition to shoulder the responsibility. New Bills New measures introduced in the Senate follow: S. J.

Lesher “we are aiming at a $1,000 to We didn't realize that goal last! year, only getting about $770. “But this year, as much as in any year in the city's history, we really need $1,000 to successfully carry on our welfare work.” Capt.
