WELFARE FUND LOAN RATE LOW

Three-Eighths of One Per Cent Paid by County For $200,000.

The: County Auditor today paid three-eighths of one per cent interest to borrow $200,000 for the County Welfare Fund in anticipation of June property taxes. The interest rate for the twomonth loan is the lowest ever paid by the County in its history, according to Chief Deputy Auditor Fabian W. Biemer. Member banks of the Indianapolis Clearing House loaned the money. Interest rates for-short term loans to the County have been dropping consistently, Mr. Beimer said. The rate was approximately 6 per cent six years ago. Last fall a similar welfare and County general fund loan of $400,000 was made on onehalf of one per cent interest, Mr. Beimer said. ' Two loans, one for $200,000 and one for $400,000, early this year were made on a rate of seven-sixteenths of one per cent.

RULING AWAITED

ON FOOD STAMP

|Decision Is Expected This

Week on County Use Of System.

Definite information as to whether Indiana counties can adopt the food stamp plan’'may be received

|nere late this week'when Edward

Brennan, chief examiner of the State Board of Accounts, returns

from Washington. Mr. Brennan is in Washington conferring with Federal officials on

‘1a proposal to adopt the stamp plan

here. ’ It is believed that a new form of contract enabling the plan‘to operate on a county-wide instead of township-wide basis may make the plan feasible in Indiana. The county-wide plan would enable the City of Indianapolis to use the food stamps. Under the present township set-up it was impossible because this City is located in five different townships. Surplus Commodity Corporation officials have indicated that they would favor adoption of some.form of food stamp plan here. At present F't. Wayne is the only city in Indiana operating under the system.
