E ROXY Births Public welfare costs in Jack son county rose to $22,747.89 in August as compared with S22, 728.09 in July and S19.793 42 in August last year, it was shown in statistical reports analyzed at the regular monthly meeting of the Jackson county public wel fare commission in city hall Fri day. There was a decrease In the cost of general assistance (direct aid) but expenditures for old age assistance continued upward while other categories showed little change one way or the other. Eight hundred fourteen old age assistance cases cost $16. 173 in August as compared with $16,127 for 813 -ases in July and $12,918 85 for 660 cases in August a year ago. On Septem ber 1 there were 90 applications for old age assistance pending for investigation, Blanche D. Lyman, administrator, informed the commission. In August S3.618.89 was spent on 96 families and 60 singles receiving general assistance as compared with $3,643.09 on 110 families and 65 singles in July and $4,043.57 on 129 families and 101 singles in August last year. Mrs. Lyman said there were no employables receiving general assistance last month. She explained that the govern ment's food stamp plan was a factor in relatively higher per capita general assistance ex penditures. Saying that the gen eral assistance budget now pro vided more adequate relief than heretofore, Mrs. Lyman stated that expenditures would have to go up before they could go down, explaining that the rising cost of living was becoming a large factor. But for accidental cases, the non-resident welfare problem now is practically nil, Mrs. Ly man said. She stated that tin farm security administration mi grant labor camp here has been ' a great relief to the commu nity," adding that she had not ithi year received a single com- plaint about migrants polluting creeks or trespassing in barns.
