Welfare Work Consolidation Planned in County
Officials plan to merge all welfare and relief agencies into one department at a Friday meeting led by County Auditor Blythe Jones. Attendees include three county commissioners, Prosecutor Frank A. Roberts, Welfare Board members, Probate Judge Orville W. Halbisch, Relief Director Fred Croswell, and three relief workers. The move could save about $25,000 for the general fund, reduce real estate taxes, and prevent duplicative work. The plan leverages $20,000 in state relief and $20,000 from a bond issue funded by utility excise taxes to cover medical aid, pensions, and dependent care.
