NEAL REQUESTS 4 GENTS HIGHER WELFARE RATE
Wants Smaller Operating Fund, More for Debts and Cash.
The 1941 budget picture became just a little clearer today as Director Thomas L. Neal handed his 1941
Welfare Department request to the County Auditor. Mr. Neal's proposed budget for operating expenses next year is a few thousands under his current appropriations. But, as in the past, he has included an item of nearly $160,000 to pay off the department's past-due {debt to Riley Hospital, and another item for a $200,000 working balance. These two additions, if approved by «&he tax scanners, would mean a boost of 4 cents, or at least 3% cents, in the department's 1941 tax levy. The current levy is 16 cents.
Township Asks More
The County Tax Adjustment Board last year eliminated Mr, Neal's working balance request and cut the Riley Hospital item about in half, in order to hold down the tax rate. It may do so again this fall. The working balance is asked in order to meet the county's share of age pension and dependent children payments for January, 1942. In past vears, without a working balance, Mr, Neal said, it has been found necessary to withhold pay-| ment from Riley Hospital to meet | the January payments, Besides the Welfare Department's, {the only budget requests definitely (announced thus far are those of the County General Fund and the County Tuberculosis Hospital.
Load Falling Slightly
The general fund requests total about $10,000 less than was allowed for this vear, while the T. B, Hos{pital asks an increase of about 1$£50.000. | The School City budget calls for la decrease of 70 odd thousands, while the Center Township Trustee's preliminary estimate shows an increase on the basis of budgeting fenough to ‘eliminate issuance of bonds. The Civil City budget, to be announced within a few days, is being pared in an effort to hold the 1941 [City tax rate to the present $1.28. Mr. Neal said he was able to hold down his 1941 requests partly because of improved business conditions and partly as a result of making more frequent reinvestigations of recipients
State and U. S, Assist
“We reached a peak load of 7482] old-age pension recipients last Oc-| {tober,” he said, “and 1 think the| number will level off to about 7300 [by next year. | “We have to make some allowance {for possibly higher living expenses next year. The average pension check now is $18.30, and it probably will have to be boosted to $19 next year.” The operating budget, exclusive [of the Riley Hospital and working ! balance items, calls for $3,288,995, | or nearly $8000 less than the de- | [partment received and a lot less than it asked for this year | The amount to be raised by propforty taxes is $1,175,000, or $210,000 more than this vear's figure. The [remainder of the budget is financed {by the State and Federal Governments,

This is fan increase of $21000 for the addi-| | tion of 13 extra employees to permit | {a more frequent check of recipients’ | needs, Mr. Neal said. | “We have been making some test | [checkups this year,” he said, “and | {have found we were able to make | Here and tirere [we found an aid recipient who mo | circumstances have improved enough to permit a reduction in his al lowance.” Mr. Neal said 2436 new age pen- | sion cases were accepted last year, | including 1088 who had been on| township poor relief.
