TowNSHIP.,RELIEF,. T1he Illinois. Emergency Relief commission is scheduled to die a natural death on JuIy 1, af ter which the administration of relief will'be toss.ed into the laps of township governmental units, to be under the direction of the supervisors. These officiaIs, it was thougbt, would turn:the job over teý the county bureau of, public welfare, as -did the Chicagocity council. However, in a confer- ence held Monday with a joint cominittee of the, Chicago.council and the ceunty board, thesuper- visors, 29 to 2, declarèd that they wanted' to bandie the relief problem themnselves, the two exceptions being Mrs. Gertrude M. Thurston of, New Trier t ownship and -William A., Lally. of River' Forest township. Lack of organization to handie 'the work is the obstacle sighted by the dissenters. More and more the, dangers and expense ýof remote control of relief are being rcgnzdby those honest persons in a position te kneiw wbere- of tbey spealç. More and more it is beinig recog-, nized that the smaller -the unit of geverniment, administering relief the lower the cost, and the, higher the efficiency. And in a township such as New Trier there is net need for a large organiza- tion to. handie the m~atter. 'Ehere would be less waste, if any at ail. Impositions would be reduced te a minimum~, beesuse the condition and habits Of relief clients would be better known and in- vestigations reduced in both time and effort. The sorry mess which has been made of relief by> state. and federal- agencies impels one te believe that the change te townshi p control could flot possibly be anything other than an im- provement. At least it is worth trying.- IT CAN BiE DoNE, With hundreds of thousands of automobiles traweni~un i-,r the trees ndIhiighwa&vs of Chicago and DREDGINO THE HARBOR The present effort to raise funds by subscrip- tien tô dredge Minmette harber and malce it navigable for the current ,sea son wîll receive the support of the. considerable. number of north shore residents. who 'are interesied in boating and,,yachting. One imÉportant purpese of'the plan is- to open Up' the harbor se that the coast guard can use it at al times, and especially iii stermy weather. It does ne good now to comàplain of a' short-- sighted governnient' which,:,with billions to spend, prisits coast guard station te become sand- Iocked in the b arber.- It is no re th an likel y that funds will become available later and that a comprehen'sive'rebuilding of the harbor will take place, but that is months in the future. The practical necessity is- immediate action.
