Liquor sale profits to boost Montana relief fund
Helena, Nov 18. Eighty three percent of Montana liquor profits will pour into the state relief fund after tomorrow, per Martin G. Hoffman, chief accountant for the liquor control board. The act allocates half to the relief fund and the rest to the general fund and two water funds until relief reaches 3 million dollars. A treasury distribution of about 150000 will raise general fund grants to 300000 and lift relief funding share.

Montana WPA Plans Revised for Needy Montanans
Helena November 21 The Montana works progress administration with a 22 500 quota must revise its program to place more needy individuals. State administrator Joseph E Parker says unemployable workers on WPA projects will shift to county or state relief agencies while stressing WPA is a work program not a general relief agency. He notes cooperation among the state relief agency county commissioners and WPA is essential to prevent winter distress and that some nonessential participants may be removed if quotas cannot be increased. Replacement follows vacancies with suitable aid recipients from relief programs.
