County Relief Levy Urged By Welfare Federation
Mayor Wertz Park Loy and Frank Leiter met with the County Commissioners to press a relief levy after May 31 when no federal or state aid remains. The group cited a state act allowing a 1 2 cent per 100 property tax levy potentially raising about 360000 for county relief. Commissioners, likely to levy, favor dispersal through the county office rather than a separate agency and see extra time for relief work as roads shift to state control.
