August 1927 expenditures at the City farm were $274.65 with credits of $152.22, showing a net improvement over August 1926. Total department expenditures through Aug. 31, 1927 ran $9,030.28 with about $500 in wood on hand for winter. last year this period was $15,590.40, indicating a substantial saving. The board approved one clothing request for school and expressed confidence the year will end within appropriation, though the city faces a potential deficit. Currently 2 adults and 20 children receive aid, with 14 adults over 65. The board is considering closing the City farm and housing inmates elsewhere to cut costs, noting needs for heating and a women’s bath. Many elderly recipients feel insulted by being refused aid, though care at the City farm could be more economical.
