$246,438 Spent In
County for Public Welfare
To Date 47-48 Fiscal Year
Columbia, April 7 (Special to The
Chronicle.)—One of the most con
troversial matters to come before the
General Assembly during the pres
ent session has been a proposed in- j
crease in funds for the South Caro-j
lina Department of Public Welfare
which its proponents advocate as!
necessary to keep *benefits in line
with the increased cost of living.
Such an increase was - adopted laSt
week by the House of • Representa
tives, but has not as yet been acted
on by the Senate.
According to a report issued this
week by the public welfare depart-;
ment, during the month of Febru-'
ary, the most recent month for which
figures are available, the average
award per case for all programs of
public assistance ih Laurens county!
was $21.24, the 10th highest award
among the counties, and well above
‘the $20.41 average for the state.
During the month of February, 29]
public assistance cases were approv
ed in Laurgns county, and 25 cases!
were closed during the month, leav-!
ing a total of 1,576 cases under care
in. the county on the first of March.
To date during the 1947-1948 fis
cal year, $246,438 has been spent for
public welfare assistance in Laur
ens county, according to South Caro- ]
lina Department of Public Welfare
statistics. Of this total, $201,840 has
been expended for old age assis
tance, $4,278 for aid to the blind,
$30,276 for aid to dependent child
ren, and $10,042 for general assis
tance. p

Construction Laurens
Hotel Postponed
Due To High Costs
Laurens, April 6.—At an informal!
meeting today stockholders of the
proposed Laurens community hotel
a resolution was adopted expressing
the sentiment of the meeting that
the* directors invest the funds on
w
hand pending a reduction in building
costs. ' —.
E. D. Easterby, president fo the
corporation and chairman of the
board of directors, told the stock
holders that building costs had in
creased to such an extent that it
would not be practicable to build
now.
In a drive a little over a year ago
approximately $160,000 in stock, was
sold locally toward the erection of a
,4250,000 hotel, the rest to be obtain
ed by mortgage.
The stockholders also expressed,
the sentiment that interest from Ifie
investments be added to the capital
on hand rather than be paid out in
i dividends. ' —^
Authoritative action was prevented
because of the lack of a quorum.
