A—-S8 = TRIPRYERS GROLP HITS AD SPENDIG Association Will Ask Drastic | Cut in Local Relief Program. The claim that 175316 people. equaling 363 per cent of the 1930 population of the District, have been at some time or other on local relief rolls during the three-year record of public relief, was made last night in a statement issued by the Wash- ington Taxpayers' Protective Associa- tion. | The cost of the public relief load | for the three years has been $13,264,- 733.98, the association claimed, ex- clusive of money spent on transients and administration. Armed with these and other figures, the taxpayers’ group is preparing to appear at the coming hearings on the 1937 budget to urge a drastic reduc- tion in the number of relief clients and likewise a sharp cut in the staff now administering relief. The ad-| ministration staff, it was claimed, | equals the entire personnel of the Fire | Department. Other highlights in the analysis of | Jocal public relief during the three years ending July 31 were: That 46,283 persons, equaling 13 per | cent of the white population, have re- | ceived assistance. That 129,033 colored people, equal- ing 97.7 per cent of the colored popu- | lation, have been at some time or other on the rellef rolls. That while 57,020 cases have been | closed, 32,306 of this number had their } cases reopened and climbed back onto | the “bread wagon.” i The association could see no “justi- fication” in the fact that four out of every five colored persons in Washing- ton have been supported at the ex- | pense of the taxpayers. | “The real explanation would seem | to be that colored people by the thou- sands have come to Washington and | gotten on the local relief rolls, which | provide more liberal handouts than are available in the South,” the asso- | ciation said. The local relief allow- ance of $28.15 in June, it said, com- pares with $18.04 in Richmond and $16.42 per case in Asheville, N. C. As the relief machinery has im. proved in Washington, it was claimed, | the flow of cash has speeded up. L “In July, 1934, the average relief client received $24.14; in July, 1933, $19.77.” the statement continued. “In July this year each rellef client on the average received $33.07, the record | high for 36 months, a jump of almost 80 per cent over two years ago.” Relief costs were $24,000 higher last July than during the same month a year ago, it was claimed, although | there were 5170 fewer cases on the | rolls, Already this year, 7,247 new cases, comprising those never before on re lief, are receiving assistance, the asso- ciation declared, while in 1933 the | number of new cases was 28,103, and in 1934 it was 27,263. T Monument APPROVAL GIVEN PLAN TO HONOR IRON HORSE. Suggested design for the “Iron Horse,” submitted by Charles Col- fax-Long, civic organizer, who ap- peared before the House Library Committee in support of the reso- lution. He would have 201 and 203 Pennsylvania avenue, -part of the old “right of way” and station grounds, as the most appropriate site of the marker, E joint resolution “To au- thorize the selection of a site and the erection thereon of a suitable monument indicating the historical significance of the first entrance into the City of Washington of a steam railroad” was favorable reported out of the House Library Committee yesterday morning.
