Declining Sales Tax Forces Welfare Aid Cut in Arkansas
Miss Gussie Haynie welfare commissioner announces a 10 percent county quota reduction and smaller grants to aid recipients for October payments due to a sharp drop in public welfare fund revenues. The aged, dependent children and the blind state quota falls to 22,704 from 25,335, with current aid per case at 4.99 for aged, 10.65 for independent children, and 9.14 for the blind. Salaries and administrative costs must also be trimmed to align with revenue, delaying October payroll checks and prompting mailed explanations to recipients.
