Fund For States Needy
Comptroller Releases $5OO,OOO For
Baltimore And The Counties

Baltimore And The Counties
In surprise move, William S.
Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller, last
week released 100000 in State re-
lief funds for distribution to Balti-
more and the counties.
The counties share, 5000, 900, will
be distributed on basis of population.
In approximately a dozen counties
the unexpected money will help to
solve critical relief problems.
Among the counties in need are
Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Fred
erick, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Somerset
and Wicomico. The situation in some
of these was regarded as desperate
for scores of relief families.
Mr.. Gordy previously had taken
the stand that his Office could distri-
butte no money from the relief tax
program until the yield of the new
State income tax was ascertained.
This would have made the earliest
possible distribution date some time
in April, as the last taxes will not be
collected until March is.
A formal statement from his office
in Annapolis stated that a careful
survey of the situation indicated that
the income tax, plus $1,540,00O
brought forward from last year,
would give total sufficient to meet
the requirements for earmarked
funds and leave 100000 over for
general public assistance.
Mr.. Gordy said that he already had
sent warrants to the State Treasury
for the money. He added that he
thought additional relief funds would
be available after the income-tax
revenues are in next spring.
