Some might become county charges, he said.: He claimed that during the last three months the unemployment bureau had spent $7000 getting jobs for family men and 90 per cent of those for whom work was procured did not belong to the legion. : The married janitors in the courthouse have held their present jobs from 1 to 20 years, he said. "In view of the unemployment, men with families should -be protected." 'he declared-. "The saving that might be made by the county would be more than offset by the economic loss to the com munity."
