Board, and upon motion of Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Love, approved.
Upon motion of Mr. Trask, seconded by Mr. Love, the Board granted a request of County Department Heads
to put County 0£fices on a five"?forty hour week working basis if uniform hours be observed and meet
puhlic service. The hours of 8130 A.N,., to 5:30 P.M., was suggested with one hour for lunch, leaving it,
however, to the Department Heads to work-out satisfactory working hours. N,ost of the Departments have
for some time maintained ohly skeleton crews on Saturdays, and it was also brought to the attention that
some 75% of the Counties have gone on a five-day forty-hour week basis.
Members of the County Welfare Board, Nir. Cicero Yow, Nir: Dan Cameron, Nrs. Eba Long and Mr. J. R. Hollis,
Superintendent, appeared at the invitation of the Board to answer charges that some persons receiving
sid come to the Welfare Departanent in taxicabs for their checks thereby creating a parking problem at
times in the court house parking lot, and others who are receiving assistance who are not entitled'to it.
Mr. Hollis sutsnitted a written report on the matter, stating in part that no cabs have been noticed in
the parking lot by his office force or people in other parts of the building with whom he had talked.-
That most checks are distributed by mail and at the present time only seventy checks per month are de-
livered at the office, all of.which,are t;ot delivered in one day, but in a period covering more than a
week. ?
Was unable to report on two people reported to have received checks and then got drunk and their fam-
ilies did not receive ar?y benefit, as he did'not lmow the names of these persons.
A number of case workers appeared to explain the duties of their respective positions and to tell of the
investigations made in each case.
At this point Mr. Davis asked what can we do about so many children being born out of wedlock. Don't
we encourage it by our aid contributions? Something should be done to stop it. The question of en- .
larging the Welfare.Board:s membership to provide a larger contact for a broader study of cases wss
discussed,: At this time the Chamman read the resignation of Mr.. Dan Cameron as a member of the County
Welfare Board. In resigning Mr. Cameron said i feel the Welfare Board could operate more efPective]y if
it had a larger Board membership, and would recommend a ten to fifteen man board to nrovide a greBter
contact. Mr. Cameron asked that it be understood his resignation had nothing to do, or was influenced
by any investigation now being made of the lJelfare Department.
After an :)ffer of Mr. Yow to work with any committee to secure better and proper laws for the operation
of the Llelfare Department the di.scussion was concluded.
Upon motion of Mr. Love, s ebonded by N?r, Trask, `the Aoard went onrecord approving SB 98, introduced by
^ C S C McIntyre et al., to require the filing in the office of the Clerk,of the Superior Court the names, ad-
dresses and amounts paid to all persons receiving public assistance etc., of ary nature under any wel-
fare or public assistance program, and requested our Representative in the Legislature to give it his'
support.
The matter of purchasing an automatic voting machine submitted by the Automatic Voting Machine Corpora-
_?tion of Jamestown, N. Y., at a cost of $1,500.00 for the machine, or at a rental of $150.00 per.year,
which would mean a great saving of time an3 expense to the County, was received £or consideration with
the city.
The Chairman reported that Addison Hewlett, Jr., our Representative in the Legislature, requested that
the proposed bill concerning the operation of the local Bureau of Identification be prepared by the County
and City Attorneys as soon as possible.
