Mr. Benjamin made no suggestion a5 to whether the money, if appropri- ated, be used by the committee or by the Board of Public Welfare or any other public agency, suzgesting that that problem be worked out lster. | Several members of the committee. including Oscar Leonard and Lynn F. Drake, stated that they felt the com- mittee should go on record as favoring the appropriation regardless of the dif- ficulty of obtaining the money. A second recommendation made by Mr. Benjamin was adopted. This was to make a study, through the use of trained case workers, of & selected number of the persons to be dropped from the committee’'s relisf owing to lack of funds, to ascertain what are the consequences of dropping those persons from made work.
