CHILD HEN - CUT'.YA
The Department of Public Welfare has an
nounced through a statement issued by*1
Director R. G. Maynard, the affect 'of re
stricted policies on grants to families
for Aid to Dependent Children.
"Due to the atallness of the Territorial
appropriation, the Board of Public Welfare
ordered t hat grant s for Aid to Dependent
Children be made to moot only requirements
of food, sh elter, fuel, and clothing,and
that a percentage discount be applied on-’
each grant in order-that monthly disburs
ments v:ould not exceed the'average monthly
amount available," said Mr. Maynard.
"During the past month, the entire easo
load, numbering 268, has been reviewed'in
line with the new policies and the total
amount to be expended for June has been
reduced by 30$," Mr. Maynard stated.
"Each individual case has received a re
duction of 23$ discount after the amount
of the grant has been determined in ac- '
cordonco iwth the ner; definition of need,"
his statement revealed. "This means that
a woman with one child formerly receiving
$25.00 per month aid, will, commencing
June 1st, receive only $20.00 per month;
Where the amount is over an even dollar,
the grant is madd in the amount of the
next even dollar," the Department announ

was reduced from 239 to 232.

June will be only. $13.19, a reduction'of
29$," the Telfare Department reported.

■or'month expended prior to June was
$10,524.00, the amount for June $7,387i00.
