The loans are for funds to be expended during March and April, with Washington allowed $1,233,933 for use in four counties.

funds for California emergency relief. Perry H. Green, county coordinator of relief for the state department of social welfare, and Paul W.

The committee included Una R.

Winter, W. S. Boggs and A. N. Dike.

Following Is the complete report: "Your committee visited the Monte Vista home during May, 1932, going through the institution quite thoroughly and questioning the superintendent, Mrs. Anna Durrell, about many phases of the work and management. We found nothing of importance to criticize or suggest, now that a new heating system has been installed for heating the halls adequately as well as the rooms. "The building Is in good condition and is considered a very good example of a county home, being built so all rooms are well lighted, sunshiny and attractive. The wards are pleasant with an abundance of air and light.

The spirit of the place was most pleasing; the residents were (for the most part) happy and content and In good health. The attendants seemed to be efficient in their work and very kind to all. The inmates are all well advanced in years, a number of them too old and weak to leave their beds at all. "Since the establishing of the home some nine years ago, more than $42,000 has been received from patients in private rooms paying their way either by a monthly fee or by signing over their property to the county in return for lifetime care. This makes the home 25 per cent self-supporting since the beginning, although the Income varies considerably from year to year.

"Total cost for the year ending June 30, 1931, was $23,983, but de ducting the 25 per cent brings the net cost down to about $18,000. The average number of residents being 58, would make the expense per day per patient about 85 cents. The salaries of the superintendent and nurses are not large considering the work they handle and the effi ciency of the institution. The home is under the direct supervision of the county welfare department. Of the 58 residents, only 16 are foreign-born and the great majority of these have been residents of the state and county a long time.

"Your committee concludes that the taxpayers of San Bernardino county may well be proud of Monte Vista home for It serves well the purpose for which it was built and yet is oi moaeraia cost." JOB!

Mack IMPROVE PROPERTY The property needed for the viaduct approach is about an acre and a half of the tract just west of the Santa Fe baseball park.

The chamber appraisal committee pointed out that construction of the viaduct will make available for business or industrial purposes a strip of land under the existing easterly viaduct approach. The Santa Fe's letter, however, pointed out that the railroad company already is contributing $75,000 toward the construction of the causeway and that it regarded the appraisal committee's figure of as far too low. Because the state division of highways insists on a 76-foot right- of-way for the Fourth street approach to the viaduct, It will be necessary to sacrifice a row of trees along this road, City Engineer Lowe told the board. The chamber plans to contact Highway Commissioner Frank A. Tetley of Riverside to determine whether the width of the right-of-way might be made narrower that the trees may be preserved.

In demanding that the permit be rescinded Chief Baldwin told the city councilmen and the delegation from the Unemployed Council: "Law abiding citizens of the community are about 'fed up' on the actions and talk of such radicals as these chaps who propose to hold a parade on our city streets tomorrow.
