About 2500 more from state funds will be added, with total 10600 insufficient to cover the current relief schedule. Commissioner Jerry Grover abstained citing disagreement with relief administration. Over 100 clients receive relief while work programs stall due to supervision deadlock between county officials and township trustees.
