WEDNESDAY, AUG. 6, 1947 PACE TWO County Cuts Transient Relief Cash Notice from the county that tt w!U make no more reimbursement lor transient relief services was received by the Salvation Army advisor;' board Tuesday, and as a result the board vofd to add $3500 to the Sal vation Army request from the Com munity Chest for the coming year. The $2500 would be used to carry on the transient relief program. For several years tne county has paid from welfare funds to the Sal vation Army to cover the costs of a part of the transient welfare work performed by the Army. In the first half of 1947, this amounted to some- thino krnnnfl S17D0. The board today received a letter from Country Clerk c. r. Deup, writing for the county court, notify ing the Army that no money had been budgeted for transient relief In the oomlng year, and therefore the county could not further reimburse the Army for this type of work. The Salvation Army had planned to Mk for $12,025.40 from the Com munity Chest for the coming year, but had anticipated receiving the usual county help In financing tran sient relief work next year. Without the county assistance, it was decid ed to boost the request to the Chest to $14,526.40. , President James Kerns appointed a committee to study the question of financing transient relief for the remainder of this year, as the Army had anticipated county help in that 1 period. Board members advised strongly against cancelling the tran sient relief program, pointing' out that this Is a major feature of Sal vation Army work. At the annual election of officers, Mitchell Tillotson was named presi dent of the board for the coming year. Other officers are: Sam Rltchey, vice president; J. P. Wells, secretary, and Lloyd Porter, treasur er. - . Re-elected to the advisory board were Arnold Oralapp, Malcolm Ep .lay, J. P. Wells, John Houston, Mit chell TUlotaon, U. E. Reeder, Charles Stark, tdmund Chilcote and Lloyd Low.
