whoae duty it would be to act as inspector to administer relief under the super-
vision of the rel.ief' committee whO' are responsible to counail~I feel that the

should engage the a.ttention of cotmail. is. the problem. presented by what we know
aa transient relief;.The expense to this municipality for this kind of relief is
increasing year by year .. Unlesa some general. pol.icy-can be adopted by municipali tietl
si tua.ted on the main .highways of this province this expense is bound to increase 1
and the presence U increasing numbers of tra.nS"ientS" will surely prove a menace '
to traffic on such highwaya.Therefore we recommend that a strong resolution be
adopted by truis council and forwarded to the Provincial Dept•of' Relief and that
m.uniaipalities situated on the main highways be asked to endorse and likewise. I
