In Greensboro yesterday the Guilford Welfare Superintendent Louis M. Thompson warned that state welfare agency appropriations lag behind gains in other sectors. He noted relief costs rose 155 percent in 15 years while mental institutions, prisons, and overall state funds grew at higher rates. The county’s current budget year would exceed $344,100, funded by salary and reserve transfers and unspent county home funds, with indigent hospital bills driving most of the overrun.
