SHAW REVEALS AID PROPOSAL Neighbors Would Share Cost of Hiring Workers Supervisor Believes System Would Care for 5000 Expense Estimated at rom SO to 75 Cents Per Family An arrangement designated as the "man-a-block" plan, devised by Supervise Shaw, chairman of the onnntv-wlde committee on unem ployment, to provide hundreds of idle men work In every city and nttv of the county, was pre sented yesterday to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and representatives of leading women's clubs and civic bodies. The idea is not new, according to Supervisor Shaw, having been in tho colonial davs of the UC! rv historv of the United States If carried out it will give one man In each city block employment for ten weeks at a salary of not less than $15 a week, the cost prorated among the home owners ana indents of the blocks where the men are employed taking care of lawns and doing odd Jobs aooui me AUSTIN OFFERS PLAN mon.n.hlock Dlan was first presented by Shaw to John C. Aus- tin, chairman oi me wuwi "fornia division of President Hoover's national organization lor unemployment relief, who in turn, handed It over to the Chamber Commerce and civic bodies.

Efforts will be made to organize the system at once In Los Angeles county. In brief, the system, as outlined by Supervisor Shaw, is as follows: "Appointment by the residents oi each block of a neighbor to act as captain. He. In turn, will ask each household head In the block to stand his part of the expense of hiring a handy man for the block lor ten weeks. This man will agree to clean up the yards about the homes, care for shrubs and do other odd jobs.

For this he will be paid by the block captain at the rate of $15 a week. In most blocks cost per family will not exceed CO or 75 cents a week. VOLUNTEERS URGED "The captain of each block will be a volunteer, not paid," Shaw continued. "Although the first duty of the man employed will be to tidy up each yard and care for lawns and shrubs, he will have the chance to do other odd jobs in the block, when his time permits, which ehould give him some extra money. The block captain has the right to lire the man if he does not do his work, or if his attitude is not what It should be.

"The man must be a resident of i the community wherein he is em-isye6 and a man whose family "is fjuw without income. His name, v-o. must be cleared through the County Bureau of Employment Stabilization. Harvey C. Fremmmg, director.

"We are pushing every possible obstacle out of the way in reiiev lng the situation "of unemployed men, but we are leaving the status of the women and children to the women's division," he said. "Every social agency and every individual woman should make it a business to see that needy women and girls lire given employment." Mrs.

Gurdon C. Wattles, chairman of the women's division, re ported much progress, but stated that immediate relief is needed in many cases.
