MOTHERS PENSION
MIDDLE SOLUTION
City Treasurer Acts to Break
Deadlock Between County
and Commonwealth

sums Of money due deserted wives, chill
dren and widows from the Mothers PEN
sion Fund, but which have been delayed
since last May by a decision OF Attorney
General a. w. Powell, will be paid in the
near future as result Of correspondence
between the Auditor General and City
Treasurer McCoach.
The act creating the fund provided that
all counties in which the fund Is operated
must appropriate a sum Of money for the
purpose equal to that provided by the
state. Early this year II was contended
that oil unexpended portions of the APP
proprlations made In 1918 and 1914 for this
purpose lapsed. A controversy followed
which resulted in the Withholding OF the
state funds in the month of May. These
funds were also withheld i'm June July
and August, the pension fund during these
months operating on half the money II
was to receive under the provisions of the
act
The deadlock is finally broken by the
letter sent by the City Treasurer to Dep
uty Auditor General Wilcox. II Is as
follows:
In reply to your communication OF
August p, permit me to state that
on December 10. 1913, the City Coun-
ellis of this city appropriated to the
mothers pension fund the sum OF
$4,000. and on November q, 1914, a
further appropriation was made OF
S3S902S. a total of S43 S9O2S for the
two years. as provided for in the act
of 1913.
The trustees in this county have
expended the sum of S32,569 % leav-
ing balance uneXpended of S1i. .321.06,
which amount, take, has not lapsed

willing to continue paying the several
benenciaries now on the list until our
Councils can make an appropriation
Cor this purpose, as provided for in
the act OF 1915. provided the State of
Pennsylvania will make their pay
ments as IL Philadelphia City Coun-
ellis had made the appropriation. This,
! feel, is a very worthy cause and one
TO which we can conscientiously
stretch a point to meet.
