Welfare Board Awaits Brummitt Decision on City Aid
High Point welfare officials and the city council await Attorney General Dennis Brummitt’s ruling on whether the city can levy taxes for charitable assistance. The board seeks 26,000 for the year, down from 31,600 last year, as they consider county funds if local support is not allowed. Mayor Grayson supports local control, while emergency measures may be used until a decision is issued.
