County plan ties aid to work on Blue Earth roads
Able bodied men receiving county aid in Blue Earth county will be required to work for relief under a foreman run program. They will perform year round hand labor on county roads including ditch cleaning weed and brush cutting small grade repairs and other tasks. A wage scale of 15 cents per hour pays one third in cash and the rest in merchandise. The plan aims to replace outright giving with useful work and reduce chronic dependence. The writer suggests a similar program for Martin county using over twenty five thousand dollars of county relief funds.
