York delegation protests county relief distribution
A York Township delegation led by Wayne Bumgardner and Raymond Windle demanded changes to how relief funds are distributed. They argued Nelsonville city orders avoid sharing delinquent tax revenues with the county and asked the board to either withdraw the city from relief or allocate funds countywide. They also questioned amounts encumbered from York Township’s $800 share and sought a full accounting. Meanwhile about 100 WPA workers affected by project closures prepared to seek restoration of county jobs or new measures from the county board.
