RELIEF EXPENSES
@A PER CASE
HERE DURING JUNE
Directors Report, Showing
Gradual Monthly Rise,
Held PuzzIing.
D. C. IN SEVENTH PLACE
AMONG THIRTY CITIES
More Given by Washington in
Proportion to Population
Than others.

Relief expenditures for the District
during June were $s2.s4 per case for
the month, according to a statistical
report submitted today by Miss Mary
Alice Hill. director Of emergency
relief.
In May, the corresponding figure
was s30.72; in April, $29.34, and in
March, s23.4S.
Sum Rather PuzzIing.
Leroy A. Halbert, who prepared the
statistics for Miss Hills report, COM
menting on the figures, said.
1T is rather puzzling to see that
the expenditure per case gradually
went up during these four months, and
especially so since an effort was being
made to bring down the expenditures
during May and June by budgetirS
the families for one-half the rent, in
stead of for all Of the rent, as had
been done in April.
Perhaps this may be partly ex-
planned by the fact that it was a
month or more after the new budgets
we're made and sent TO the works di-
vision before the payments began to
be made, on the basis of the revised
budget. The first week that the
budgets were actually applied to the
pay roll was the one beginning
June a."
Other statistical tables furnished
with the report showed Washington,
which was in seventh place among
80 comparable cities as to expendi-
lures per case, during March, April
and May, rose to fifth place during
June. AS far as total relief expenses
were concerned, Washington has been
sliding down the list 1t was in eighth
place in March, tenth In April, thir-
teenth in May, and fourteenth In
June. The total spent for relief here
during those months we're: March,
$434,026; April, $3.50, ,787; May, $676,-
758, and June, $656,068.
Average Expenses Per Capita.
Average expenditures per capita in
the 80 cities were 81 cents In March;
$l.l7 in April; $l.32 in May, and SIPS
in June. In Washington, the per
capita expenses for relief were 80
cents In March: $1.37 In April; $1.39
in May, and $1.35 in June.
"These tables" said MIR. Halbert,
indicate that Washington has given
more than the average city in pro-
portion to its population, and has
given larger average amount to each
family on relief than was given by
the average city listed in the table,
but it Is the general belief that the
cost Of living is higher in Washington
than it is in most cities, and especially
that rents are higher. The figures on
the whole show that the. experience
of Washington in dealing with the
relief situation is not materially diff
ferent from the experience in the
other cities"
