Of the total expenditures $165,529.79 was for Welfare functions which in- cludes Welfare, Hospitals, Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance. Some refunds on Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance will be made by the State.
There was expended for Soldiers' Benefits $42,815.25. Of this there is an estimated return by the state of $2,500.00. Welfare and Soldiers' benefits total $208,345.04.
To meet these expenditures it has been necessary to issue in the past year bonds to the amount of $56,000.
The amount expended for the same purposes in the year 1934 was Welfare $128,590.86 and Soldiers' Benefits $22,392.27.
During the finanical year 1934 $31,000 was hired to meet these payments.
The continuance of hiring money to meet re-occurring charges is poor busi- ness, and it is quite evident that some adjustment must be made in the tax limit if the City is to be kept anywhere near a pay as you go policy.
