County gets second loan for relief
Taylor county has been allowed its second loan from the Reconstruction Corporation fund though the amount is not yet designated by local welfare board headquarters. The second application likely sought about 40000 dollars and mirrors a first loan of slightly over that sum. The 34 counties in West Virginia sought about 2500000 dollars, cut by about 60000. Governor Conley urged a million dollar emergency fund in the next legislature and proposed allowing political subdivisions to transfer funds to relief efforts. Counties and municipalities already have limited transfer authority through the end of the fiscal year. The participating counties include Berkeley Brooke Cabell Clay Doddridge Fayette Greenbrier Hampshire Hancock Harrison Jackson Kanawha Lewis Logan Marion Marshall Mason Mercer Mineral Mingo Monongalia Morgan Nicholas Ohio Preston Putnam Raleigh Randolph Roane Taylor Mingo Waynesboro
