'u 12 in cases in the last two months of this year. We started the year with seven cases involving twenty-three persons and the caseload increased to eight cases involving thirty persons in October, and we have two cases now pending which will increase the caseload in the forthcoming year. ", In the Disability Assistance program a greater expendi- ture over 1959 was experienced and this increase can also be a attributed to the 5.2% increase and higher medical expendi- tures. We started the year with four Disability Assistance cases and had six cases at the year's end. The expenditures in General Relief. for the year were a5 unusually high and we found it necessary to request an ad- ditional $825.00 to meet our 1960 obligations. In addition to the usual expenditures caused by unemployment, we had unusu- ally high medical expenses and expenditures caused by reason of incarceration of the families' wage earners. In these cases we were unable to avail ourselves of the benefits of the Aid to De pendent Children program because (1) of the brevity of the sentences or (2) the lack of eligibility because of resi- dence. Of the monies expended for General Relief we shall `z recover $1,297.50 from other towns and the State. The expenditures with Federal State and local shares are as follows: Federal State Local Total Share Share Share DAA $16,148.44 $7,110.00,$6,025.63 $3,012.81 ADC 12,857.08 6,874.00 4,285.69 1,787.39 DA 4,840.52 2,052.00 1,578.34 1,210.18 MAA 485.55 219.28 177.51 88.76 GR 4,735.75 ........ ............
