City

Agrees
on
New
Policy
Prped-By
Twe
Governments
After
hearing
a
letter
from
P.
Walker,
depiitj:
provincial
secretary,
announcing
that
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
had
agreed
upon
the
principle
that,
in
future,
those
receiving
direct
relief
would
be
expected
to
give
work
in
return
for
it,
the
city
council,
at
its
special
meeting
last
night,
Instructed
the
board
of
works
to
put
this
policy
into
effect
in
connection
with
direct
relief
here.
The
council
agreed
that
work
to
be
required
in
return
for
direct
relief
should
be
on
the
basis
of
the
standard
rate
of
wages
here.
At
the
present
time
there
are
about
173
men
receiving
relief
in
the
city.
The
city
engineer,
in
a
tentative
report,
suggested
that,
in
work
to
be
done
for
relief,
Eighth

and
water

extensions
be
given
first
attention.
Under
a
three
months'
program,
Mr.

estimated
that

would
be
required
for

and

cotnlngencies.
