The councilman, who served! as chairman of the Civil Service Board two years ago, said that! he regreted serving as a mem-1 ber of the committee which made up the new pay plan.

Dr. E. E.

Metcalf, Escambia County health officer, said the reports of inspections made by the health department are "onen for inspection any time. B. G. Tennant, in charge of sanitation for the health department, said that it would be "unusual" for the health depart ment to make a report to the county commissioners on each inspection made. He said the policy is to make a report of discrepancies to the person in charge of the unit being inspected.

Tennant said reports of the deficiencies found at the nursing home were made to Mrs. MuAl- Ensley School Vandalized Ensley Elementary School is the latest Escambia County school to be hit by vandals.

Mrs. McAllister said she has the policy of posting written reports of the health department on the bulletin board at the nurses home. She also said she has received "nothing but very good reports" from the health department.

She got the reports she has received during the past and scid they were as follows: Sept. 13, 1965, "very good operation," Jan. 17, 1966, "very good opera-1 tion," May 3, 1966, "very good operation," and Sept. 28, 1966, "very good operation." i Mrs. McAllister said the only deficiency noted in the reports was that "a grease trap above one- of the stoves in the kitchen should be removed." Commissioner Caro also had this to sav: "I would like to state that this Grand Jury report and its findings has placed the Board of County Commissioners in a light that they should have time to make a thorough study and investigation of the report before any statement of future action should be made by an individual member of the board.

"I believe that the Board of County Commissioners, as a body, should make a complete study of the report in conjunction with all other agencies, state and county, to determine the proper measures to be taken to correct any deficiencies that might exist. under the new plan." MeUetf had been retained by the Civil Service Executive Committee to contest the pay cuts. After, the board's action, though, Mrs. Ruth Davis, chair man of the committee, said it would no longer be necessary for her group to file suit. Civil Service chairman Rein had said that council's action in cutting the pay of the two employes was illegal.

He added that this could only be done through a demotion for discipli employes due to economic rea sons. Councilman Johnston explain today that the jobs had been reclassified, resulting in a pay so that they would be in same pay classification as those employes with similar du trs Originally, several employes were due to get pay cuts under plan drawn up by Johnston, Harry Blanchard, and Paul Bruno. But all except two of these were eliminated during weeks debate bv the committee. The bord instructed city Der- sonnel officer Thomas S. Siler notify council that three em- nloyes who appeared before the board Wednesday were working pbove their classifications and that new positions should be created for them.

Those em ployes are: Wallace S.

Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home of St Petersburg It in charge of funeral ar rangements, of the Pensacola Area Chamber of Commerce highway committee submitted the request for the proposed "setback" law.

Under the proposal the Es cambia County commissioners would have authority to determine setback distances for buildings or other structures from county roads. The bill would say that the commissioners could not require a setback of more than 75 feet from the center line of county roads nor 100 feet from the center line of state roads. (State roads also include secondary roads which are paved by the State Road Department.) The commissioners could place the regulations in effect by means of passing resolutions. The commissioners can also name a setback board of five members if they desire. The bill suggests that each county com-m i i would name one member of the board.

Claernce E. Morrow, chairman of the Veterans Round Table Memorial Monument Corn- a bill to permit Escambia Coun ty commissioners to make an appropriation of $100,000 for a monument. Morrow said under the bill $75,000 would be for the construction while the other $25,000 would be for paying the architect and other expenses. The bill would provide for a to be in in charge of expending the money. It would consist of two members from each of the veterans' organizations and two named by the county commissioners and two others named by the city council.

The bill would say that no member of the committee except the secretary and the treasurer would be paid. Each could be paid $200 per month. However, if the two positions were combined then the secretary-treasurer could receive up to $300 per month. Morrow said the bill provides that the committee shall select the site for the monument which will honor veterans of all wars. The committee would als let construction contract.

He said Escambia County has more than 27,000 veterans according to a recent estimate. He contended that up to this time there is no memorial to those who have fought for their country. Clyde Richbourg, commercial usncrman, presented three pro- One bill would pertain to Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, by regulating the catching of live bait and commercial shrimping in i I a waters in the two counties. It would forbid taking or catching of small shrimp. For instance, the bill says, "brown Shrimp" would be defined as small if it requires more than 55 with the loads and 85 without heads to make a pound.

The big change from present law, however, is that the closed area from Jan. 1 to Sept. 15 would be from interstate bridge north in Escambia Bay and Blackwater Bay. It would be closed at a point east of AxelsOn Point of East Bay from Jan. 1 to Sept.

15. Under the present law the closed areas are much larger and in addition there is an open season between May 30 and June 15. But under this provision the summer season would not be open in the assigned areas. Under a second proposed bill the closed areas in Santa Rosa Sound for commercial shrimping would be from Pensacola Beach bridge on the west to Brooks bridge on the east. The other proposed local bill would provide for a license fee of $5 for each boat engaged in shrimping for live bait or commercially.

The fee would also be charged those from out of state. In addition if the out ol state shrimper is taking his shrimp catch out of the state he will pay $2 Der hundred 1 pound tax.

When city attorney Henry Barksdale was asked if council I would reclassify the two em-jth ployes whose salaries were cut, he said, "I realy don't know. I'd have to wait until I got more information.

I really don't know anything about it right now." Mayor B. Irvin Greenhut said he would have to consult with City Council before saying anything about Rein's action in refusing to sign the payroll. Law said he thought council would probably pay city em- ployes under the old plan if Rein does not sign the new payroll "If Mr. Rein's order is found valid, we will probably have to give city employes retroactive pay from Oct. 1," he said.

This is the date the new pay plan was to take effect. Law later said he had talked with Barks-dale concerning the legality of paying by the old plan. Barks-dale is studying the question, Law said. Earlier Wednesday, Churchill Mellen said he was withdrawn as attorney for city employes when he ran into difficulty with the employes over the pay cuts of the Lewis and Hubacker. "They wanted me to file suit against the entire pay plan," he said.

(AP) Hurricane Inez, which left more than 150 persons dead in her destructive surge through the Caribbean, thrashed across the Gulf of Mexico today, its 110- nule-an-hour winds aimed at the exnosed Yucatan Peninsula. The New Orleans Weather Bureau, taking over tracking of the giant storm from the Miami bureau, said Inez was expected to move into the northern Yuca tan Peninsula late tonight. 'Tides of 5 to 10 feet are ex pected along the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula tonight and early Friday," the bureau said in a 10 a.m., CST, advisory. "Hurricane force winds will occur over much of the northern Yucatan Peninsula tonight." The advisorv located Inez near latitude 23.2 north, longi tude 86.0 west, or about 260 miles northeast of Menda, citv of 170,000 persons on the peninsula, ancient home of the Maya Indians. Its speed remained 10 miles an hour.

Inez was moving on a west-southwest course. The Yucatan, which juts northward into the Gulf of Mexico, contains dense jungles.

He said that the normal pr cedure of his office in conduct- is to send a man from his office to work with the local health office in the investigation. The Grand Jury report cited numerous discrepancies found at the nursing home. One was the fact that exit doors are left locked, which is contrary to the law. Dr. E.

E. Metcalf, Escambia County health officer, said he warned Mrs. McAllister about locking the exit doors. Mrs. McAllister maintained that the doors were locked for "security." "I have to stand out there in the street until Mrs.

McAllis ter lets me in. The doors are always against the law," Dr. Metcalf said. "We should correct every dis crepancy the Grand Jury has outlined to us. There is no use waiting for somebody else to have to come in here and do it for us." he said.

Dr. Metcalf said the investiga tion will be handled on the local level. Dr. Sowder blamed the county commissioners and the local health department for not en forcing nursing home laws. He also expressed surprise at the 12-cent average meal cost at the nursing home and said that "no nursing home should show a profit.

The Grand Jury reported one case where a patient fell, broke a hip and then had to wait six to eight days before a doctor was called. It was 22 days from the time of the fall until the patient was sent to the hospital. The report also said that Mrs. McAllister, as administrator, has issued a standing order that no doctors were to be called, day or night or anytime of the week, until after consultation with her.

Asked this morning about the report of the Grand Jury that she had a standing order at the nursing home that no doctors could be called for patients in the nursing home until after checking with her, Mrs. McAllister said "that's not true." "The family of a patient can call a doctor anytime they want to, or, if necessary, members of the statt can call doctors, she said. "The day I went before the Grand Jury, two doctors were called at the nursing home. How did they get she said. The Grand Jury spent more than a month in session and most of the time was spent on the investigation of the nursing home.

The session ended Tues day, with the Grand Jury issuing highly critical, 18-page report, which criticized practically every phase of the nursing home operations. Asked about statements by Dr. Metcalf that the exit doors were kept locked, Mrs. McAllister said "that's not true" again. "To my knowledge," Mrs.

McAllister said, "Dr. Metcalf has only been in the nursing home twice, once at the request of the governor to check on a patient." "What he is talking about was the old nursing hjme. The front gates were kept locked and people visiting the nursing home used the back entrance," she said. Vcathcr PENSACOLA AND VICINITY: Fair and cool through Friday.

The regional director of the Veterans Administration in St. Petersburg said the Veterans Administration in Florida has no records of Mrs.

McAllister's father, Arthur McLeod The VA also said it would be "highly unusual" for the VA to make "payment for a patient in one lump sum rather than on a monthly basis.
