The interim commission on state
and local revenues has let it be
known th a t it w ill probably recom­
mend that the counties be relieved
of nay respenst>ility fo r relief

crease of the burden carried by
the atate a n d .th e necessity for
the state to find just th a t much

this recommendation the »ame com­
mission w ill probably sponsor a

pected to provide adequate funds
for all present state needs.
