c. OfC. Urges
Attention TO
Welfare Costs

Ohio citizens are being urged
by. the Ohio Chamber of Com
merce to intensity their interest
in the local welfare programs of
their counties, and to study the
costs in relation to those of other
counties comparable in population
or economic means.
The Ohio Chamber pointed out
that in 1850 Madison County well
fare expenditures were S2104 per
capita, as compared to a state
wide average Of S1443
The total welfare expenditures,
including four types of public aids,
for Madison County, on a basis
of the county's population of
22,3O0 was S469.283.
The total for the State was
$114,682,715 or a per capita ex-
penditure of S1443 based on the
1850 population of 7,946,627
The four public aid classifiea-
tions included in the welfare ex-
penditures program are Aid for
the Aged, Aid TO Dependent
Children, Aid to the Blind, and
General Relief
In these classifications Madison
county spent in 1850 as follows:
And for Aged 1891 ,895; Aid to
Dependent Children S30,0O4; Aid
to Blind $7,169; General Relief
$40,215, or a total of Sass, ,283.
Annual expenditures among
Ohio counties on the controversial
public welfare program ranged In
1850 from low of under SO per
capita in eight counties to a high
of $50 and over in eight counties.
Counties under $40 per capita,
were Fulton, Geauga, Lake, Lor-
ain, Ottawa, Sandusky, Summit,
and Wayne.
Counties with high of $50
and over per capita, were Adams,
Gallia, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe.
Morgan, Pike, and Vinton.
Owing to differing economic
conditions, the statistics for each
county when compared to other
counties, do not necessarily re-
fleet good or bad adninistra-
tion, thc Ohio Chamber explained
The statistics showed further
that per capita expenditures for
1850. ranged from $40 to S1499 in
80 counties from SIS to $19.99 in
21 counties; from S25 to S29.99 in
10 counties.
