STATE PROBE TO BE MADE OF NEEDY RELIEF Marion County Townships to Be Investigated by Orr. (Continued From Page One) of building the statehouse, he continued. Regarding prices for food in poor relief basket, Harrig expressed a belief too much is being paid. He said he obtained prices on No. 2 basket for which $2.38 is paid, and found that the same articles, minus 10 cents worth of coffee, could be bought for $1.75 and $1.78 at stores of two different chains. Lack of variety in food also was assailed by Harrig. He condemned some of the made work programs, asserting that men work six days to obtain food worth not more $6, and receive nothing more. Orr agreed with the stand of the committee khan “No man should profit by human misery,” and asserted that investigation of poor relief in other counties of the state had led him to the conclusion that there are instances of where 40 to 50 per cent of funds are being wasted. There are indications of graft at some points, Orr intimated, and he believes some groceries have been opned for the sole purpose of filling poor relief orders. Greensburg Lowe, asssitant to Orr, who will conduct the Marion county inquiry, attended the meeting at which the petition was presented.
