County to raise estimate for insane patients care
Polk County Commissioners must add 5000 to the coming year's budget to cover state care for county insane patients due to a 1935 law change shifting costs from state levies. A $5575.66 bill from Sept 1, 1935 to Oct 1, 1936 prompted the action. They hope for legislative reversal but will not include the amount if avoidable. The Mothers Pension Fund drops 1000 and the Farm Bureau Budget stands at 2000, making the 1937 estimate 101,500, six thousand higher than January 1936.
