Food stamp plan eyed to stretch aid in state
Relief officials said the board would likely study the idea carefully. The maximum weekly grant for a family of five is 13.40 dollars with seven for food and 2.25 for rent. A state wide food stamp plan would let one dollar worth blue stamps yield fifty cents orange stamps free, enabling a seven dollar food allowance to reach ten fifty. The plan operates in large cities and seeks federal aid to expand across the state.
