" Notified j that several counties are hard-pressed for . funds, the cbmmissionl voted to assume CO per cent of the general assistance burden. Loa Howard, administra tor, said this will , tap $500,000. Formerly the 'state and counties split the burden 50-50. B. G. Skulason, new member of the commission, demanded that the level of old-age assistance payments be -raised. " Skulason condemned a commis sion policy that enabled the or ganization to end the 1941-43 bi ennium with a $873,284 surplus, declaring (that. he commission should not be in business to amass funds, but to provide all the assistance possible to recipi ents. ; Other commissioners answered thkt the money was being saved against the day when liquor rev enues, which provide the bulk of assistance money, might dwindle. : : Skulason said, "If the money Is available, let's give it all to the old people; in an effort to reach the maximum of $40 a month. Skulason 's demand came after Commissioner Hugh Ball, of Hood River, pointed out that Multno mah had made a good record, showing that 35 per cent of its budget was unexpended at the end of the biennium. Loa Howard, state administra tor; said relief was given on a basis of need, and that the com mission had not made flat grants. The average grant has increased from $21 monthly in 1941 to $28. 86 now. Multnomah county's ave rage grant is $32.40. Administrator Howard estimat ed that half a million dollars of state funds; would be added to the relief program for the next bien nium by ja commission recom mendation j that 60 per cent of its money by ) granted by the state, 40 per cent by the counties. The present basis is 50-50. . Mi Mtu'r ink mui H -' ' - - 1 l sa Or! Daily vvmi "i . I. rr;i?:-i , i
