House Approves Destitute Relief Move by 74 to 12
The West Virginia House approved a supplemental budget measure to create a 150000 relief fund for destitute residents, sending it to the Senate amid hints of possible amendments. Delegate Earl H. Smith of Marion led the proposal with broad support, while Delegate John Campbell of Kanawha pushed for a 100000 increase but was delayed by committee business. The plan distributes funds by population through county sheriffs and courts, with a proviso for redistribution if funds are unused.
