JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Feb. 81
Florida counties have benefitted
both through reduction in their
expenditures for general relief
and through added assistance for
the needy by the operations OF
the State Welfare act, 1t was
pointed out in a statement issued
here today by Clayton c. Cod
rington. state welfare commission
er.
Monroe county, he said, is now
receiving far more through Old
Age Assistance and aid to the
blind than it expended for both
Old Age Assistance and general
relief in June of 1897, the month
prior to induction into Office of
the State Welfare Board. Eom-
parison was made of june and
December welfare operations. or
the the first half Of the. welfare
fiscal year.
The figures, as obtained from
reports of State Welfare head
quarters here, show that during
June of last year Monroe County
had IL cases, representing l9 in
dividuals who received general
relief to the amount of $500,
and that it then had 101 Old Age
Assistance cases receiving ST.
268.50. The total amount expend-
ed for the month by the county
for relief under the two categor-
les was S718.25.
In December 383 residents of
Monroe County received Old Age
Assistance pay checks amounting
to $6,399.00 from the state and
federal government, and the coun-
ty was then expending $4,000
for general relief.
Summed up. 383 persons were
receiving Old Age Assistance in
December as compared to I0l in
June, while the county's income
from this source was S6,339.00 as
compared with its outlay of
$718.25 in June. 10 persons were
on general relief in June and 80
in December, receiving respee-
lively $1,000 and $4,000.
General relief and Old Age As
sistance expenditures for the en-
tire state during June was SILL
967 90. Aid Age Assistance alone
for December was s364. 459.
Aid 10 the blind was not includ-
ed m the statistics, as this form
of public assistance did not begin
until January of this year.
Since funds for the payment of
Old Age Assistance and aid to
the blind come from the beverage
tax and matching federal money,
these benefits are made possible
without new taxation. as promis-
ed by Governor Cone in his cam-
paign statements, il was pointed
out.

Spring and summer are both

her breathless-so she's going to
