A considerable increase in the
population of the agency was be-
lieved to be partly responsible for
the change. When some members
Of Congress attacked the manage
ment of the agency early last ses-
sion, welfare officials insisted the
high per person cost was due in
large measure to the fact the popu-
lation had been reduced consider
ably to make possible extensive i'm
provements at the institution.
Miss Andruss reported that the
average daily resident population
last month was 68 as compared with
As in November of last year. The
