Senate approves plan to boost poor relief funding
Iowa Senate backed a measure to raise statutory indebtedness for aid to the infirm, sick and aged while limiting funds to poor relief. The bill, supported by Sen George Wilson of Des Moines and E H Matlock, moves to the House for approval as counties near their debt limits and federal funds restrict relief costs. Six more counties would reach the limit by July 1, totaling 29.
