The edict is in line with one pro- claimed by factory officials several months ago which resulted in scores of married women losing their places of employment and others depending upon their work for a livelihood, se- curing work, When Mr. Holmes was questioned | as to whether there are teachers in the schools who will be affected by the policy this year, he admitted he knew of several, but when he was | asked about a teacher who planned to marry this year but who post- prued her marriage to avoid being affected by the policy, he said the matter had not been brought to his attention. $5,000,000 program for extension of sources and storage facilities came last night when the board of finance and taxation rejected a recom- mendation of the water commis- sion that $1,090,000 be allowed and voted to issue bonds of $200,000, sufficient only for preliminary work. Action on the remaining issues will be taken at a later meeting of the board. Chairman William L. Hatch and | City Engineer Joseph D. Williams outlined the program. For land and water diversion rights, $175,000 was asked; for land for the Shuttle | Meadow outlet structures, the Bur- lington tunnel and pipe lines from | ‘Whigville, purification system with filter and | cluear water basin, $225,000 will be needed; $60,000 is required for the | distribution system, and for miscel- laneous work and engineering, an additional $30,000 is wanted. Of $600,000 is estimated; a | “Dollar Their Objective” Mr. Holmes feels strongly on the quostion of work after marriage. He criticized girls who make “the dol- lar thelr objective in life rather than abide by the Institutions that make up community life.” these amounts $176,000 is already in the hands of the board.
