Indianas relief dollar is a pay
roll pie for the unemployed.
Sliced into bites, 62-cent por-
ton of each relief dollar spent in
the state goes into the pockets of
men on FERA works projects and
thence into the tills of groceries,
pockets of landlords and depart
ment store bank accounts in the
state.
In Marion county and Indianap-
oils in November. plums totaling
$500 600 we're doled out. with "
cents of each dollar going to wage
relief and % cents spent for food
shelter, fuel and administration
cost.
When the pie is divided, mark
out three sections: Direct relief
work. work relief and administra-
ton cost.
Work relief is the paying OF
wages to the unemployed on worth
while public works and relief man
ufacturing projects. It forms r.
cent hunk of the relief dollar.
Direct relief is the giving of food
orders, fuel, shelter and medical aid
without the beneficiary working Tor
bare subsistence grants. 1t is %
per cent of the relief dollar.
Administration cost is only a s.
cent slice in Marion county and Z
cents a relief dollar in the state.
Administration Cost Low
State relef's summary of the
three main costs of aiding the UNI
employed follows. Work relief, 62
cents of each relief dollar; direct
relief. 81 cents, and administration
costs, 7 cents.
The state as we'll as the county
has one of the lowest administra-
ton costs in the nation. Illinois
reported in one. month this year
administration costs of Is per cent.
Columbus. o., in a recent survey,
reported an overhead of 10 per cent.
Although forming one-haf of the
relief load, 5000 families in the
county. the family head on direct
relief receives but % cents Of the
relief dollar.
Benehciaries of direct relief do
not work for their portion OF the
relief dollar. Illness, old age, in
SUFFICIENT government funds for
work relief programs, prevent them
from being placed on a wage basis.
