FOR SOLDIERS DEPENDENTS
Amount Of Claims in City Being Re-
duced With Return Of Soldiers

Some idea Of what it is costing
the State paying dependent farnil.e.
Of soldiers in accordance with pro-
visions made by State laws. can be
obtained from the figures showing
what tie city Of Augusta has pal!
out during TIE past year. which, OF
course, will be reimbursed BY TIE
state. The city furnished the sum
Of sic,320.ci for dependents during the
past year, or an average Of 1925 &c
a month for claims. The largest
number Of dependents at any one
time was 81.
With the return OF the soldiers from
the training camps and from over
seas tie amount is being lessencd. Up
to December 81 nine names had been
stricken from the list at the office Of
the city treasurer, making the
amount Of the claims about $50 less
per month.
All applications for the aid in this
city have been referred to Il special
committee consisting Of Aldermen
Burton Giddinss. Vergil Z. Trouant
and Albert G. Hopkins. who have
been very faithful in the perform
ance of their duties and are entitled
TO a great deal of co,nnendati0n for
the good work which they have done.
