Congress are: Emergency relief, not
more than s24 month for single
persons or more than $50 a month
| for a family of two and not more
than Sc month extra for each child
under 16 years Of age, and not more
than $50 to any one family; for old
age assistance, not more than $50 a
month to any one person; for aid to
the blind, not more than $40 month
to any one person.
If suitable control could not be
| exercised by proper administration,
such a provision might be valid, the
board said, but existing procedures
already provide "the kind of con-
troll which is desirable and which
permits granting relief on the basis
of need" 1t added: The arbitrary
restriction that no family may re-
ceive over a specified amount regard
less of need defeats the purpose of
the Public Assistance Act"
Formulas Gauge Need.
1t argued that board rules set up
formulas by which to gauge needs.
For example. it said the rules limit
to $42 month the grant to family
of mother and three children. The
case worker refers to the boards food
allowances schedule to decide how
much may be allotted for food, and
this schedule is refined to the point
of SO much for children by age
groups, SO much for women at home,
different amount for women "at
work." SO much for men doing heavy
work and a lesser amount for men
doing light work
The number of home care cases
was ,130 last year and for this year
the average was estimated at 1890,
the same figure being projected into
1914. 1t was estimated such a num-
Der would involve 1920 dependent
children.
If the ceilings are removed, the
board proposes to allow $40 month
| more per home care case, above the
past year average payment of $36.56
month, adding $4,000 a year to
the District share of the costs.
WOulu increase Ageu Ala.
For old age aid, with an anticipa-
ton of an increase in the number of
cases from 1923, from the past year,
to $3.50, the hoard proposes to add
81 month to the average payment,
if ceilings are removed. For the
past year the average payment was
$26.35 month, and the extra would
raise this to about $50, the present
legal limit. In argument, the board
said Washington has the highest
cost of living in the Nationals indi-
Gated by finding that some aged
cases had to spend A per cent Of
their grants for rent and 81 per cent
for food, leaving but 19 per cent for
all other needs.
Most of the proposed increase for
the needy blind is to set up a special
charge for four workers assigned to
administer this service. The num-
ber of blind cases is expected to go
to $40 next year, from the 292 on the
lists last July.
Despite threats of a great diminu-
ton in the size of the WPA program
in the District, the Welfare Board
seeks an increase from $155, 900 to
$180000 in the WPA sponsors con-
tribution. 1t proposes increases:
For the free school lunch program,
from $4,000 to $4,000; for the
sewing project from $10,400 to
| $11 900; a minor increase for the
housekeeping aid program: and a
new item of $4,000 for microf1lm
project.

the board said that unofficial reports
from Juvenile Court indicate that
delinquency among girls is increas-
ing, and that a further increase in
the institutions population may be
anticipated by police and court
records.
The average population in the last
fiscal year was 30 but the actual
population last July was "a.
"A lack of parental supervision,
because Of employed mothers and
disrupted homes, plus a general un-
rest because of the war" the board
said, has definite effect upon
juvenile delinquency"
The board emphasized, in discuss
ing maintenance costs, that there
is no ceiling on prices of vegetables
and farm products and that the
tendency is for higher prices.
For the Home for Aged at Blue
Plains, which will be replaced when
priority and budget conditions per-
NIT. the board seeks 1927 $50, an
increase of nearly $1,000. and
among extra workers asked are
a barber, four assistant cooks and
a dietician.
Want Fulltime Barber.
Because $50 of the near 600 needy
aged living there are unable to
shave themselves. and are depend
ent on volunteer aid by others, the
board said, many men go 10 days
or more unshaved and get but
three or four haircuts a year. There
fore employment of a fulltime bar
ber was held to be absolutely neces-
sary'' if the unkempt aspect of the
men was to be corrected.
In outlining the need for four
assistant cooks, the board said that
with elimination last fall of WPA
project, it was necessary to assign
inmate labor to assist in the kitchen.
1t added that this not only proved
most unsatisfactory but exposed
the workers to "occupational
hazards" detrimental to their we'll
being. Lack of sufficient kitchen
aid was one of the faults of the in
stitution protested by Mrs. Roose-
welt and others who exposed its con-
ditlons in the past.

load last year in line with "the
very high employment possibilities
resulted in reduction to 1000 cases
by last July l, the board said.
Further reduction by reason of
employment will not be very great"
it continued, since it found sc per
cent of the cases receiving aid at
this time were too i'll or too old to

Argue Against Auditor Control.
In asking elimination of con-
gressional language requiring that
the District auditor shall have su-
pervision and control over disburs-
ing as we'll as auditing and account
ing for relief payments, the board
argued that this had caused a di-
vision of responsibility, objected to
by the Social Security Board, and
that no such rules were needed to
give the auditor power to audit
accounts of the Public Assistance
Division.
