The first hold up of the gym|

by the architect. First bids |
were too high, causing further,

Concern For
Older Citizens Is X
FeltByFarrar |
i
A real concern was express-!
ed this week that there might,
be some older persons in thet
county who are needlessly be-;(
ing deprived of adequate funds j
for food, clothing, and other
needs through no fault of their I
own
This concern was expressed!1
by Julian Farrar. County Wei-1
Tare Superintendent, in point-) |
ing to a sizable surplus that is |
appearing in the county Old'
Age Assistance Fund.
Farrar said this surplus will |
continue partly as a result of)
recent action by the State',
Welfare Board in decreasing!
the size of Old Age Assist-!,
ance grants statewide because'
of the lack of State money. The
; County part of the Old Age!
Assistance Fund is set when,
the county budget is approved!
each year and even though the
I county may have adequate!
funds, the local office is obligated
to reduce all its Old Age!
| Assistance grants effective
January 1960 as a result, of the:
action of the State Depart-'
ment
Farrar said also that some)
of the surplus is available as
the case load has consistently
decreased during the past five)
years from deaths and other! i
reasons. Consequently, funds';
are available for new grants!;
even though present grants j
cannot be increased across the
board.

with less than '4 per cent alsUtute's

at the time of the call.
The commissioners instructed
l.imer to get in touch with
Lewis to make an appointment
for a meeting with the board
as early as possible. Lewis is
the grandson of the late Mrs.
Lucy Williams of Warrenton,
and the nephew of Miss Mamie

The decision to contact the
Institute of Government was
made after a brief discussion
of possible appraisers to make
the revaluation in the county.
Also up for a brief discussion
by the commissioners was
the matter of a county tax on
dealers in fortified wines, who
paid no county tax now. The
discussion arose when a recent
opinion from the attorney general's
office in regard to the
county's lack of power to tax
fortified wines was called to
the attention 01 the board.
