Mrs. Simmons Is Hostess to Lodge Mrs. Garfield Simmons entertained the L. S. to the B. of L. F. and E. yesterday at her home, for an after noon of sewing and conversation. A valentine motif was carried out in the decorations and refreshments untll the governor returns. Soauld Ing then introduced his second pre pared resolution calling for two meet ings a month for the "exclusive pur pose of inquiring into all details of management and expenditure of ninus." The resolution stated tho minutes Bhowed that the members devoted but 90 hours ln 1931, spend ing $3O.000tO0O, listening to delega tions and passing "proforma resolu tions," and that the management had apparently been left to the engi neers "without oven active super visory control." Aftor listening virtually all after noon to accusations and arguments by Spauldlng William Hanley gave way following the presentation of this resolution nnd despite the mo tion to defer consideration of it until later. Issued his statement as fol lows: "I wish to record my vote with the chairman of the commission and say that ln accepting the duties as commissioner I have given it all my time, and the past two months hove i been going over the system studying i conditions ana aoing tne oest L couiu with the various problems presented in this resolution. "I have never attended a meeting of tho commission since being on the board without the contending com missioner having a row or confusion as a part of his program, and during my entire services have never hod tho pleasuro of meeting him on the system. I do- not understand his viewpoint in presenting this resolu tion. "I have found that all former commissioners had done the same thing that I nm trying to do; that they had put in much of their time ana ability to construct a splendid organization, nnd I only hope to de liver the same service and keep it as good ns- any." The present funds would be expended by March 15, nnd niter that some relief must be Riven. The commission is spending- about 810.000 a ciay on relief st the Dres ent. which Is not sufficient, he said. "Why not let some of the projects go and help the poor people who need food," Spauldlng urged. "Our first duty Is to the people, autoists have to pay this money anyhow, and people need relief," He suggested Devers prepare a complete report of what is needed and present It to the commissioner and the governor. The commission, upon suggestion or Spauldlng, recalled the survevors on the short cut routes from Port land to the sea. with the survey work uncompleted. He asked this, he said.! in view or Governor Meier's request ; that no surwr htehwavs be built or I started this year.
