Counties Urge We'll
fare Program
Chairmen Of Boards Send
Statement To General
Assembly

A statement signed by the chair
man Of the twenty-three county well
fare boards was sent to the General
Assembly on Saturday, urging enact
ment of the complete State welfare
and relief program.
The statement was released by
David S. Jenkins, chairman of the
Anne Arundel County Welfare Board,
who is president Of the Association
of County Welfare Boards.
"The Welfare Board of the State
has very recently made a complete
study of the public assistance needs
in each county," the statement said.
GAS result of that study, we, the
chairmen, go on record emphasizing
the need for the program presented
to the Legislature by the Board Of
State Aid and Charities, including
unemployables, partially employables
and employables.
1--WE consider the estimates very
conservative, and no provision has
been made for any changes in the
WPA, PWA and CCC programs, or
for any other factors unknown at the
present time. Failure to enact the
complete program will cause serious
hardship and suffering.
The Board of State Aid and Chari-
ties program calls for $10,00O,00O a
year, of which the State would be
asked to furnish $6,00O,000. The
program would involve the appropri.
alton of $15,OO0,0O0 by the General
Assembly for the two years and a.
half, beginning April /.
A delegation urging the enactment
of this program appeared before the
House Ways and Means Committee
and the Senate Finance Committee at
Annapolis on Tuesday.
The February report of the Board
of State Aid and Charities was issued
Saturday, showing 27,347 families
were receiving aid in all categories.
OF these, 15,493 were in Baltimore
and 1854 in the counties.
There was an Ill percent increase
over January in general public assist
ance cases. The total number was
1873, including 6,607 city and g.
LAC county families. The relief trend
was upward in the city and in eigh-
teen counties, with the total for the
month considerably larger than the
December estimate.
In the social-security program aid
was given to 1850 old-age pension
ers, 5,144 families containing de-
pendent children, and $50 blind
persons.
There were 1910 old-age pension
ers in the counties, against $500 in
the city. In the counties 2,253 fam
lilies received aid under the depend
ent-children program and 215 blind
persons were helped, with the num-
bers for the city 1881 and 375, re-
|spectively.
Total welfare payments on all pro-
grams were S603,014.07 for the
month. OF this sum, $2.G,336.S1
went for oldage pensions, $160,767-
.1S for aid to dependent children,
1,360.15 for aid to the blind, and
$210,549.93 for general public as
|sistance.

Governor Signs 48-Hour
Marriage Bill
Two Local Bills Aimed At Elkton
Also Passed

The House of Delegates at Annap-
oils, on Thursday evening passed
three bills designed to curb the
States Gretna Greens.
Senator Harold E. Cobourn's two
local measures to curb the marrying
parsons at Elkton, passed on voice
votes and went to the Governor for
his signature. Their sponsor has
claimed their enactment will wipe
out the business of the widely known
Elkton parsons.
One would raise the marriage Ii
cense fee in Cecil county from 81 to
SIS, and the other would close the is
suing Office at all times except be-
tween a. M and 6 p. m. weekdays.
The forty-eight hour bill was spon-
sored by Senator Wilmer F. Davis
(Rep., Caroline). Originally, it
would have provided that couples
wait seventy-two hours between time
of application and time Of issuance
Of license.
The House Judiciary Committee
changed it to forty-eight hours and
also inserted clause making it illeg-
al for court clerk to publish details
of license until that license actually
is granted.
Added by the House during the
session was an amendment requiring
payment of 81 with each application,
and no refunds allowed if the license
is not issued. The effect would be to
raise the fee in Maryland from 50 to
SO.
The Senate concurred in the
amendments and the measure finally
went to Governor Nice who signed it
Monday night, but said he would not
sign local measures designed to curb
the Elkton marrying parsons.
He said the 48-hour bill would, in
his opinion, be sufficient to remove
the evils of the marriage racket in
Cecil county.
