Relief fund transfer faces county court split
Kansas county officials debated diverting 30000 dollars from the road fund to the general fund for poor relief. Only 10000 dollars will be released immediately, with 4200000 to cover an overestimate and 950000 already spent this year. County Judge Blackwood and Dr U A Ray, both Democrats, validated the order amid disputes over past moneys and methods. Walker, a Republican, criticized the handling as setting a bad precdent and urged restraint while supporting county relief. The funds aim to feed the unemployed through the current relief system, likely covering the remaining winter.
