Welfare Administrator Notes Critical
Point in First Quarter Expenditures
Columbia county’s welfare ex­
penditures were listed as 24 5 per
cent spent this week, at the end
of the first quarter of the fiscal
year and the situation was said
to be critical
According to Mrs Eva L. Tice,
county admimsti ator, the expen­
diture during the first quarter it
July 1 through September 30, is
critical in that a light expendi­
ture is generally expect-'d
The
heavier expenditure* come in the
late winter and early spring, sh ;
said.
,
The amount spent so far cause;
the welfare department grave
concern, she added
Total
"xpenditurcs by the
county welfare department so far
amount« to $115.052 with the total
budget set at $468.944
Mrs. Tice also said that in the
genera! aaswtance, 26 2 per cent
of the total had been spent a«
compared to 18 per cent at this
time last year
She said that
general assistance is the pro­
gram from which employable
persons are assist 'd when they
are unable to find work
The administrator also said
that the biggest single change in
costs seem to be the increased
need for medical care. Current­
ly, the county has six cases ui
the hospital, some of them of
such seriousness that they will
result in exceedingly high over­
all coats, and will involve mane
months of care
