REPORT OF THE AGENT OF The Welfare Department
This department in addition to general relief has had charge of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children.
The case load has remained almost the same during the past year, in spite of the fact that conditions have im- proved. This is due in part to the fact that many of our recipients are unable to find work on account of age or physical handicaps, some are kept from old age assistance or W. P. A. by requirements of citizenship, and must be taken care of on welfare.
