CITY AUDITOR
Of the total expenditures $148,242.65 was for Welfare functions which includes Welfare, Hospitals, Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assist- ance. Some refunds on Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance will be made by the State.
There was expended for Soldiers' Benefits $26,809.61. Of this there is an estimated return by the state of $2,057.50. Welfare and Soldiers' Benefits total $175,052.26.
To meet these expenditures it has been necessary to issue in the past year a Municipal Relief Loan of $45,000 and a Tax Title Loan of $20,000.
The amount expended for the same purposes in the year 1935 was Welfare $165,529.79 and Soldiers' Benefits $42,815.25.
During the financial year $56,000 was hired to meet these pay- ments.
The continuance of hiring money to meet re-occurring charges is poor business, 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.
