FOOD STAMP PLAN
UNDER SCRUTINY
Hartford Adopts New Fed
eral Arrangement to Aid
Relief Cases

Stating that he had read with in
terest reports of the extension OF
the Federal food stamp plan to
Hartford, Mayor Vincent A. Scully
said today that he would ask the
welfare department to investigate
the possibility of placing Waterbury
on the list of communities in which
the plan is in operation. The may
or cautioned that he would ask the
welfare department only to study
the plan, making it plain that there
is as yet no thought of making any
actual application for its extension
here.
Papers between the City of Hart
ford and the Federal Surplus Com
modities Corporation were signed
Saturday. It is expected that the
stamp plan will be placed in oper-
alton in the Capital City of the
state next month.
The plan is designed for the ben
eft of relief and work relief clients.
1t involves the sale of orange stamps
which can be used to purchase any
articles in grocery stores. Those
buying the orange stamps receive
free blue stamps with half the value
CT the orange. These can be used
to purchase specific commodities
listed as surplus by the government.
In Hartford the plan will be
worked through the city-owned
commissary, but in all other cities
the stamps can be used in any re-
tail establishment. The plan en-
ables WPA workers and relief reci-
pients to augment their food sup
plies without any extra cost.
A princiapl difficulty about any
effort to have the plan brought to
Waterbury is the need for a city
appropriation. This city's 1910
budget Is so tightly drawn that
there is scarcely any leeway for an
additional expenditure beyond those
contemplated at the start of the
year.
First started in Rochester, N. Y,
last spring, the plan has won wide
support from retail grocers. 1t is
estimated that in Hartford grocers
will benefit to the amount of $780,
600 a year extra business.
The report of the welfare depart
ment study of the plan will be sub
mitted to Mayor Scully for study.
