County Faces Heavy Relief Burden With No Federal Help
Relief strain in Milla County peaks as state and federal backing withdraw. Road-work crews of 150 handle most demand with 30 cent hourly wages for a 30 hour week.

Monthly relief cost now about 1600.87 dollars, groceries leading expenses at 635 dollars in December. Officials fear winter relief costs will exceed all prior records.
