County Commissioner John Cline said Miss Rowena Sprout executive secretary of the Child Welfare Board will see a salary reduction by January. She is recuperating in Parkersburg and earns 1016 dollars plus expenses, with most of the pay previously covered by federal funds. Cline noted Columbus sources ordered the county to cover the cost amid aid disputes among larger counties. He praised her work but said the county cannot afford her present salary.
