month, the state public welfare
commission reported.
Welfare payments climbed to
638.985.62 In January, 3.7 per cent

reported that at the end of January
it had still spent only 23 per cent
of Its 1947-1949 funds.
The commission decided at Its
meeting here yesterday to call rep
resentatives of fraternal organiza
tions to a session to discuss whether
t. elf are should be given Indigents
living In fraternal homes for the
aged.
Commissioners said a prevalent
belief that such a plan had already
been tentatively approved was not

ferred status over other citizens.
