Orange County audit says 1971 surplus avoided welfare borrowing
A private audit for Orange County reports a 2 million general fund surplus at year end 1971 and that borrowing 950000 for welfare costs was unnecessary. The report notes cash reserves could have covered this and urges merging social services with the general fund though officials defend keeping them separate to guard other departments.
