Morgan-Marshall Poverty Funds Awaited For a Year
The Morgan Marshall County anti poverty committee led by Dr. Matthew Hall reports the U S Office of Economic Opportunity has not approved its 70 000 planning grant to hire four full time staff. The group, aiming to survey needs and mobilize local groups for war on poverty programs, has waited over a year despite claims Alabama lags behind neighboring states in accessing funds. The chair calls a recent DECATUR DAILY article embarrassingly misrepresents the hold up.

Health officials urge funding to bolster Morgan County program
Warning of a powder keg of potential epidemics, the Morgan County Board of Health asked the Board of Revenue for increased funding to hire a full time health officer and upgrade the county health department. In a 40 minute hearing five physicians outlined needs and proposed rapid improvements tied to higher operating funds from both county and Decatur. Dr. Chenault lamented that the current system is worse than substandard and urged better preventive care, as the board seeks a raise from 15000 to 30000 dollars and will present the same demand to the city commission.
