First Move in Centralization Plan by County Demotes Virginia Man.
The position of director for poor relief of northern St. Louis county, held by Walter Ethier at Virginia, was abolished by the county commissioners at their meeting last week.
This was the first of a series of steps planned to centralize and reorganize poor relief in the county in order to reduce administrative expenses in line with the expected drop in relief this spring and summer.
The change also affected Mrs. Florence Betchel, relief supervisor of the Virginia office. Her resignation was accepted and Mr. Ethier given the position with a reduction in salary from $200 to $150 monthly.
District supervisors, besides Mr. Ethier, will be Jule Johnston, in charge of the Ely office: James Bresnahan, in charge of the Hibbing office. They will be directly responsible to the poor commission headquarters in the Duluth courthouse which will have charge of direct relief in the county.
