In BIB 1855 there is incorporated q
new system for making general relief
grants to counties to supplement ccun-

Under the present system, general

under this system Cascade, Silver Bow
and Missoula counties received over
so percent of all the state general
the county commissioners at their
convention in Hayre IN June, 1910,
adopted resolutions requesting the leg
islature TO provide money to supple
ment county poor funds and to require
that such money be distributed among
the counties according to a definite
formula.
The legislature therefore in NIB No.
366 earmarked $250,OO0 of the $40O, 600
set aside for general relief to be ap-
portioned by the state department
among the counties in inverse proper
ton to their taxable valuation per
capita. The 1910 population, less In
dians who are not county charges, will
be divided into the taxable valuation
Of the county and this will determine
the relative amounts each county will
receive from this fund. For example,
Ravaln county with a taxable valu-
alton Of but 1912 per capita may re-
ceive 81 per capita for a total grant
Of about $4,000. AS the taxable valu-
alton per capita increases among the
counties, the per capita grant viii de-

the lowest taxable valuation per capita

taxable wealth per capita is a definite

might require the granting of state
general relief money on the basis of

The appropriation Of $4,000 for aid

Administrative costs are cut from

crossing and that the railroads install

COUntkeS 1--WE state
In addition TO the above amounts
there was appropriated any unexpend-
ed balance and all reimbursemenfs due
the state on July /, I941. The state
department Of public welfare, through
which federal, state and county money
for the above purposes Is disbursed,
pays the entire amount of the various
grants-in-aid and then bills the coun-
ties to reimburse the department.. On
Dec. 81. 1910, SO counties owed the
state $50, 1875 consisting only OF re-
Endorsements due for the month of
December. But the other 20 counties
over 100000 dated back from two
months to two years. The heaviest
debtors to the state were Missoula
Silver Bow, Richland, Musselshell, Cas-
cade, Lincoln, Sheridan, Carter, Ra-
valli, Flathead, Fergus, Carbon and
Valley counties. Other delinquents
were Daniels, Garfield, Jefferson, Lake,
Madison, Mineral and Powder River.
HB 217 amends the public welfare
act to conform to the amended federal
social security laws, and IN addition
contains these provisions relating to
finances:
l. Section 3 Cb) requires the counties
to budget in full for reimbursements
to the state department with trans
fers to other funds prohibited and will
prevent county debts to the state.
2. Section win greatly relieve coun-
ties from payment Of disqualification
and medical aid for those eligible for
old-age assistance or aid to dependent
children. Within the maximum grant
the federal government will pay one
half and the state one-third the cost.
8. Section increases the residence
requirements from six months to one
year for eligibility for general relief
To require the counties to budget
in full for reimburSementS to the state
and to demand that they start cleaning
up their delinquent accounts, and at
the same time carry their other poor
fund obligations would have been folly,
without providing additional income.
Turn Thumbs Down
NIB 81, drawn by the state board of
equalization and introduced at its re-
quest, would have extended for another
two years chapter 1873 of the 1899 ses-
sion laws, which permitted counties to
fund their warrants and other float |
ing indebtedness into bonds, but house |
members turned thumbs down on this |
Sub. NIB 81 was therefore introduced |
and passed, which requires as a con-
dition for general relief grants-in-aid |
that counties owing the state depart |
