Meeting of Relief Committee May 26, 1942
A special meeting of the Council and the Relief Committee on relief and public welfare
was called by Chairman of Relief, Hans Reiss at the Town Hall. Members present were:
P.a.skop, Frandsen, Reiss, Busch, Casey, Kane, Lars. Caughren, relief worker and Miss
Anderson. The council members discussed briefly many items of relief and phases of
handling relief and relief administration particularly as applied to our own village.
Chairmen of Relief, Hans Reiss called for reports of relief worker and asked many
point questions and particularly emphasized the question as to the payment of hos-
pital bills as re-norted in Mr. Kaness report which he obtained from the attorney
general and submitted at the last regular meeting of the Council. Mr. Kane stated,
as at the last meeting, that no future hospital bills were to be paid by the Council
as ordered by him. The meeting was conducted in an informal way and was left open
entirely to reports and discussions. The officials all stated that the meeting
was of great value and that the success of the council in the handling of the relief
problems was through the splendid cooperation of all the officials.
It was reported by the relief worker, tom's. Caughren, that at the present time the
village only had three cases of relief as follows:
Atta Bergman:
Ida Feragan
Mr. Juno :
Meeting adjourned.
She is receiving Old Age Pension and is getting $9 a month
for groceries.
She is a blind lady, receives $22 a month in groceries,
$30 a month Old Age Pension and pays $13.50 monthly on her
home. The oldest girl is graduating from high school this
month and it seems very probable that she may secure a
position as a comptometer operator and thus help with the
expenses and reduce this relief load.
He is applying for Old Age Pension, which takes three months
to verify everything before it is passed. His wife is eli-
gible for a Pension in September when she reaches 65.
