The number is double the esti- mate of 1,280 eligibles resulting from a survey of the state made by the former State Board of Social Welfare in cooperation with the WPA, upon which leg- islative appropriations were bas- ed. During the month of Novem- ber assistance payments were made to 2,142 persons in the amount of $31,241.00, an average grant of $14.58. The cases re- ceiving assistance when added to pending applications gives the po- tential case load, after allow- ances are made for rejections in proportion to past experience. Eligibility to this form of as- sistance is determined by age, \residence and other qualifications and is extended to those near- blind who have a central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the | better eye with correcting glass- es or a disqualifying field defect in which the peripheral fluid has! contracted to such an extent that} the widest diameter of visual field extends an angular .distance no greater than 20 degrees. In Monroe County Aid to the Blind was received during No- vember by 97 persons in the amount of $1,534.00.
