I Shelby Firemen Ask For Cleared Streets 'CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE*) tae trucks and firemen’s cars pass K will make fire-fighting much eas ier for us. "The present practice cf all mo torists dashing to a fire the minute 'he siren sounds will, if continued, ■esult in a serious fire and perhaps injury to someone, and we have de cided that it must be stopped. Here fter city authorities have informed Us that all firemen are authorized to get the name of those who violate the above regulations and we mean to do it. We get blamed when we fail to make speed and it is up to us to - ^operate with the mayor and police •” ificials in keeping the streets clear v.htn there is a fire. "We also intend to report for prosecution all motorists who drive heir cars over the fire hose. They will not do so if they observe regu lations about keeping a block from the fire-fighting.” The majority of the Shelby fire fighters are volunteers as Is Chief Pobinson and since fires are not • .roiltable to them they urge citl ' ns. to whom saving Shelby proper ty means just as much to as to the iremen, to cooperate with them in every way possible. Cost County Home Inmates Is Given 'CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) • mate does not necessarily mean su perior care. As a matter of fact :omc of the counties that are known to give their county home inmates excellent care show a low mainten ance cost. The county home sys tem is both the least supervised and most inefficient public business in he state. There are eighty-eight counties •hat maintain county poor houses.

The per capita ’ost without considering the invest ment was $262 93 per year, and if 'he investment is credited with five percent, the annual cost averaged ?346.12 per year. The cost varied from $61.66 per inmate per month in Clay county to $6 49 in Hyde county. The state average cost pei county home Inmate was almost ex actly one dollar per day. Vance Shows the Way. The county home method of car ing for the poor is very expensive The state department of public welfare says, “The poor could be maintained far more comfortably for less money, If the expenditure of funds were carefully supervised by someone trained in the admin istration of poor relief. "Tor instance, Mrs. W. B. WaddilJ superintendent of public welfare In' Vance count;, has taken eighteen Inmates from the county home and placed them in private homes where they are much happier. They are well cared for under Mrs. WaddlH’s -.upervlslon, and yet they are each costing Vance county only $4.83 pci month! The county home has been converted by the Duke endowment Only five of the former Inmates re main, all of these being In need of hospital care. A great saving har been effected In this county.
