Outline Plans
for Relief Work
for the Winter
Chairman A. L. Tidd of Working
men's Council Secures Facts to
Present Commissioners.
From Thursday Daily
Last evening In response to the
Invitation of Chairman A. L. Tidd of
the Workingmen's Council, a num
ber of the business men that had
signed the petition tor Mr. Tidd to
accept this position, met at the court
house.
Mr. Tidd has spent some time in
securing data on which he will base
hia plana for work relief in the coun
ty for the coming three months which
will be the most critical of the year
for those who unfortunately have
had their sources of Income stopped
at the close of the year.
Mr. Tidd has secured the figures
showing that thirteen of the road
districts of the county are in posi
tion to furnish work for an average
of five men in each district or some
sixty-five men, scattered over 'the
county. Other road districts are not
in a position to carry on the work
at present.
There is now in the county high
way fund some 118,000, of which
Mr. Tidd will urge that $10,000 may
be applied on work relief and fur
nish employment for 100 men for
the coming three months.
There is also 113,000 in the com
missioners district fund and a part
of this would also care for work for
another 100 men in the next three
months, this furnishing employment
for at least three days a week at
eight hours for the men.
The commissioners, according to
the figures of Mr. Tidd have levied
for relief which should bring In
something like" $14,000 when all
paid, of this the commissioners can
make allowances of eighty-five per
cent of the amount levied for the
emergency under the law.
Mr. Tidd has also taken up with
the FERA at Lincoln the matter of
having a representative to meet here
with the committee and that of the
board of commissioners to discuss the
matter of the matching of dollars by
the FERA. with the county on relief
work in this emergency.
Mr. Tidd has appointed a commit
tee of ten who had signed the peti
tion for his selection to Join him in
meeting with the commissioners,
these being Searl S. Davis, H. A.
Schneider, William M. Barclay. Wil
liam Schmldtmann. R. W. Knorr,
II. L. Gayer, J. L. Tidball. W. C.
