ons for employment for unem
ployed, one for milk, snd lost
hut not least a commutes to In
vestigate and report on ths
merits of each case," Chief Mer
rill said.
"The relief organization should
b run as a large department
store, with esrh division having
a head, snd lbs work should be
administered county-side and not
Just city-wide," be stated, "wit it
no discrimination shown.
"By organising and working
In such a mannor there will be
no dupllrstlun of relief and ear a
bead of a department will be
responsible.
"There Is no shortage of food
stuffs In this county and I want
to say that ths people of Klam
ath county ara always ready and
willing to do their part, iu all
my work I have never been
