Under the new state law concerning relief, a real estate tax of 30 cents per :100 of valu- ation has been levied on the township, a requirement if the township was to share in the three percent sales tax collections used for relief purposes. phis levy was made at a special town meeting uuly 14 and is now in effect. Naturally, most township cases concern residents of Des Plaines and Park Ridge.-.nvestigation of many of these cases indicate that the -families have employable members who time should be utilized in some gainful occupation. In order to arrange employment for those persons who should be occupied, 1 would like the cooperation of the members of your council in placing these persons to work --suggesting they be put at work beatifying City parks, streets, alleys public buildings etc. 1 also would like, if necessary to find jobs, to put these persons in private industry or on other jobs which could be determined and agreed upon. The plan considered would involve no cost to the "em- ployer" but would require on his part that he kept a record of the time and number of hours worked by the "employee". A rate per hour would be established and credited to the account of the relief client who would be required to work out in this way his budget. May i suggest that the council name a committee of two or more who would work with me on this plan. De- tails could be worked out at an early meeting.
