alterations which he asked the Members of Council to consider before

CHANGE IN ESTABLISHMENT - BJLSINVIEW HOME

To His worship the Mayor and Members of the City Council.

At a meeting of the Public Health and Welfare Committee held on March 8, 1962, a. report was submitted from the Commissioner of Health advising that the Provincial Department of Welfare has requested that Mr. Ashmole, welfare Officer No. l, on the Basinview Home Payroll should be taken off and charged to the regular Welfare nepartmmt of the City of Halifax. The Provincial policy is persons being employed on a. full time basis in welfare or in a welfare office, should appear on the claim for administrative expenses where the Province will reimburse the City 50% of the salary. Only when a. person is employed on a full time basis in a City Institutim and has his office in that Institution should he be attached to the staff of that Institution.

The Comissioner felt the Ciqr could collect 66-2/3% of his salary from the Proziincial Government but where he works only part time at that work, the balance of the time is in the welfare Office proper. The Government requests that he be added to the 1961 Administrative Expense Report. He, therefore, requested pemission to change the establishment in this respect.

Your Collnittee recommends that the permission requested be granted.

Respectfully suhnitted,

R. H. STODDARD, our CIERK.
