Relief Needs Rise as City Keeps Tight Budget
City budget hearings opened at City Hall with Board President Joseph Schultz warning against large last minute increases. Unemployment boosts Welfare demand with an extra 20 000 needed, while a 6 million Grand List jump yields about 230 000 more to spend beyond the 22 675 195 budget. The relief fund climbs to 438 284 with 120 000 added by theTax board, and education demands dominate as the School Board seeks 1 74 769 maintenance and 750 000 in bonds plus 6 833 180 overall education funds.
