015 through which, it was estimat
ed, aid will be given to more than
150.000 needy families in the state
during March and April.
The advance, which had been
requested by Governor Blackwood
for use in the 46 counties under the
supervision of his state relief coun
cil, brought total funds made avail
able to the state to more than $3,-
600,000. Grants for previous
months amounted to approximately

Officials at the state relief head
