Newburgh moves to curb welfare, cutting off unwed mothers from relief and placing 40 hour work requirements on able bodied men. City officials defend the plan as a matter of home rule while facing state opposition and potential federal funding implications. Civil rights groups raise concerns of racial bias amid rising nonwhite relief recipients.

City Directors Seek Public Talk on Sewage Fee Rise
City officials invite residents to a Monday public hearing at City Hall to explain a proposed sewer rate hike. The plan keeps the current service charge but raises minimums to 1.25 dollars for residential and 1.60 dollars for commercial users, replacing the present four percent of a year’s months with a set minimum. The move funds a renewed system replacement, based on an Engineering Agency study and competitive financing offers.
