An exchange of letters between Henry A. Walker and Joni C. Blackwood over Kenewha county court methods for poor relief unfolds. Walker argues 100,000 from the county road fund should fund roads rather than dole distributions, while Blackwood says the system is only practical to a point without addressing shelter and medical care. Dr. Ray supports adapting relief distribution and notes past penalties on the court. The piece notes the court had begun with a 50,000 appropriation for poor relief, now under discussion.
