County Increases Budget For Old Age Assistance Although statistics show an in crease in prosperity generally, a tentative budget for aid to aged ir. New Hanover county, adopted by the Board of County Commis sioners yesterday, showed an in crease of $7,035 over last year’s budget. The tentative budget, submitted by J. R. Hollis, superintendent of public welfare, requested $28,350 for old age assistance, as com pared with the $21,315 the County spent last year. New Hanover county spent a total of $85,260 for old age assist ance last fiscal year, which in cluded State and Federal appro priations of $62,684.94 and $630. Both appropriations were made jointly, although at different times. The County’s share is 25 per cent of the larger amount. Included in the tentative budget was a request by Mr. Hollis for $11,880 to carry out the County’s program for aid to dependent chil-1 dren. Records show that New Hanover county spent $50,066.40 for aid to dependent children last fiscal year. Of this amount, $12,516.60 was ap propriated by the county and $37. i 549.80 was appropriated by the State and Federal governments. It is estimated that 525 persons above the age of 65 in 'this county are eligible for such aid, with aver age monthly grants amounting to $18. The county board yesterday re ceived a report on indigent pa tients treated at Community hospi tal since Ja'nuary 1, but consider ed the report inadequate and ap pointed a committee to confer with hospital officials. It was pointed out that rather than a detailed report on indigent patients, in reference to the hos pital's request for increased funds, the County received what was termed an aggregate report, and considered this insufficient to act upon. Prior to adjournment, the board authorized preparation of a resolu tion in the death of President ! Franklin D. Roosevelt.
