County told to settle $64,361 in food stamp costs
The state attorney general’s office demands the county pay 64 thousand three hundred sixty one dollars for its share of food stamp program administrative costs. Assistant attorney general Joseph M. Farrell set a November 5 deadline and noted about 15 thousand three hundred seventy dollars owed before October 1974 and roughly 49 thousand in five post‑October payments. The county may have questioned when payments began and referred the matter to the legal department for review.

Parking lot considered Study urges new city library
A feasibility study by Young Hadawi Inc. recommends a new 40 000 square foot downtown library at N Mill and North streets in New Castle costing about 2 million dollars. Parking would be feasible only with a beltway and new retail outlet, requiring a 3 1 2 level garage for 362 cars or a single deck garage for 455 spaces, plus possible surface parking depending on projects. The report notes the current library is too small and inadequately organized, with insufficient seating and microfilm facilities.
