A communication from the State
Commission for the Blind was before
the Vance county commissioners
Monday asking the sum Of $631.50 be
provided in the new budget for aid
to the blind during the coming fiscal
year. The county is required to pay
one-fourth of the total aid to the
blind in the county, another fourth
coming from the State and half from
Federal funds.
The statement said State funds
would be provided to take care Of
eleven of the county's ''most needy
blind persons" during the fiscal year
beginning July l. The county's one
fourth part of this is given as
S535.50, an estimated average of SIG
per case. The figure includes $3.50
toward caring for one blind child
from this county in the State School
for the Blind in Raleigh.
The State Commission suggested
that funds be included for two ad-
ditional cases, so that if State funds
are available assistance can be given
in these situations as they arise, and
the county's one-fourth part of this
addition is given as 500, running the
total to the $631.50 asked
The commissioners have not vet
had even tentative estimates of the
budget before them, and it was not
learned what amount would be pro-
vided by the county.
