‘ AID WILL CONTINUE g - ~ Reliei Program To Be Extended To All Townships If Projects Are Provided Ia order to assist county auditors and township trustees of Indiana in making up their budgets and tax rates for 1935 the governor’s commission on unemployment relief has cent to all county auditors a letter explaining the present situation in rcgard to poor relief financing in the s'ate and the probabilities in regard to federal aid for next year. At ‘present.the letter gxplained the Faoderal Emergency Relief Adminis-t-z ion is providing for about onehaliof the relief load of the state threugh work relief projects in which cas wages are paid to -persons on relief who are assigned to these pro. jects. On September 1 the benefits of {his work relief program will be ex tended to all counties and townships of the state, if local officials set up projects for the work, ‘“We cannot positively say at this time what may be expected from fed e:al aid during the year 1935,” u}e letter gaid. “However, there seems to he assurance that aid in approximately the present proportion and in about ithe present form may be expected during 1935.” . In addition to the federal aid for woik relief assistance for direct refief, federal assistance for direct relief expense may be provided, the commission announced, for a few counties whose financial situation is cuch that they are unable to meet their direct relief costs. This will be based on an audit which has been made by the commission’s auditors. It was pointed out in the letter however, that the FERA will finance only a limited proportion of the total relief costs~of any state and that each county and township must provide a delinite,_ part of the direct relief costs in ‘order to participate in the federal relief program.
