owners of motor vehicles if they receive relief must turn in their markers and driving permits to be released when relief ends it is a categorical principle that in dealing with large numbers of people and especially with people in distress there must be a kindly but firm routine it is the plan of this department gradually to decrease in every pos sible way the number of interviews held in this welfare building and we hope eventually to render it un necessary to have clients call here for orders this will avoid the em barrassment to clients of coming here and being recognized and will
