in they propose to attain assume the responsihilitsr of apportioning the
City relief work,. recommending C. D. DeLong for the job, Councilman ti~Til-
liams commented th~~.t there have been many complaints registered regarding
distribution of City work through the Fire Departr~tent and if the respon-
sibility is shifted to the L~mwood Association for Unemployment Relief
this will be eliminated and the Council will be relieved of callers re-
garding same, therefore, making a motion that the work of apportioning
the City relief work be given to the Lynwood Association for Unemployment
Relief, and that the Secretary of their Organization, Mr. C. '). DeLong,

seems to be two organizations, if one member from one organization is chose
to choose men for City work, tre others vrill_ not feel that they are pro-
perly represented.
