Payments under this Act are reimbursed wholly by the State, but as the Town pays a State tax it amounts to the same as a Town charge, and, as per instructions from State Aid Commis- sioners, is not payable only in cases where the person is not competent to support himself or herself either from earnings or from property or income of any kind. If in any month the aid is not needed, the law requires that it shall not be paid. It is not to be construed to be for remote future benefit, but to pro- · vide for present necessity.
