FEOERATON RGES LOW RELEF WAC Need for Full-Time Employ- | ment Stressed by Mont- gomery Body. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. BESTHESDA, Md., April 9.—The Montgomery County Civic FederanonE went on record last night as favor- | ing a wage scale for county relief work projects less than the prevailing ‘wage scales paid by private employers and indorsed the principle that “those employed by relief agencies should be employed full time.” The present wage scale of the County Welfare Board is from 30 cents to $1.10 an hour, and work is distributed on a | part-time basis. The resolution incorporating the proposals was presented to the federa- | tion by the Community Council of | Sandy Spring, after having previously | been indorsed by four up-county farm- | ers’ clubs and the Montgomery County | Farm Bureau. It expressed opposition to the present religf work scale of 'wages on the ground that “those of any ability whatever command more than the minimum wage, thus pre- venting the farmer and many others from securing much needed help.” Point to Part-time Idleness. Full-time employment at a reduced scale was recommended because “part- time employment creates a condition under which many receiving sufficient remuneration to provide for themselves and their families are pleased to live in idleness the remaining portion of their time, creating a condition which is not for the best interests of the eommunities in which they live.” The resolution also pointed out that full-time employment “in all prob- ability would be fruitful of double the amount of accomplishment at practi- cally no increased cost to those who pay the bill,” and that “persons for | whom work has been created and paid | for by public appropriation should | not be paid a wage equal to or greater than that paid by industries in the | communities in which they live.” Urges Stream Protection. ‘The federation also gave its atten- tion to the problem of protecting the network of natural streams of the ! county, which are in danger of being | lost, it was said, as a result of resi- | dential developments without proper planning. These streams have en- hanced the value of the metropolitan section of the county as a residential area, it was contended, because they act “as carriers of surface water in | lieu of an expensive Storm sewer system,” and form an important part of “potential park sites.” A resolution asking the Maryland- National Capital Park and Planning Commission to make a survey of these streams “in order to determine those that are necessary for drainage and | park purposes,” was passed by the | federation and copies ordered sent to | the county commissioners. The federation also requested the Board of Commissioners “to take such action as it may find necessary to pro- hibit the erection of any permanent building for commercial use in the metropolitan area, except those types generally called fireproof or con- structed principally of fire-resisting -materials.” Will Report on Roads. Charles W. Hopkins, chairman of .the Committee on Roads, Streets and Bridges, announced that he would pre- sent at the next meeting & report on the general road construction pro- gram in the county, citing expendi- tures in that direction and their ap- Dportionment to the various areas of the county. H. 8. Yohe, chairman of the Public Finance and Budget Committee, re- ported the findings of the committee | in favor of serial bond financing in- stead of the sinking fund plan. As a | result, a resolution previously intro- duced recommending legislation for establishment of a sinking fund plan | of financing for the county was with- drawn. | It was announced that this year's federation banquet, which will cele- brate the tenth anniversary of the | founding of the organization, will be | held at the Kenwood Golf and Coun- try Club on May 16.
