Illinois public aid rolls continued to decline in August, it was reported by Garrett W. Keaster. executive secretary of the Illinois Public Aid Commission. Keaster said there were 238,- 835 recipients of the state's five public assistance programs in August. Expenditures for the month totaled 110,614,174. By contrast, Keaster said there were 22,016 of 8.4 per cent less recipients in August than there were in August, 1952. He attributed the decline to favorable economic conditions. Keaster explained that August figures were not "strictly comparable to those /or previous months." He said the commission in August began making per capita payments into the "medical pooled fund" for the four aid categories which receive federal funds, old age assistance, blind assistance, aid to dependent children and disability assistance. Legislation enacted by the last sessioi^ of the. General Assembly provided for this fund, he said. The new system, Keaster explained, is comparable to insurance premium payments for each person in the federal-aid programs. The pooled fund will be used exclusively for the payment of medical care, nursing home care and other medical services and supplies. Payments for recipients will be at actual cost regardless of the per capita payment, he said. Outlining August activities, Keaster reported: % Aid to the aged totaling 16,- 759,962 was paid to 105,190 recipients an average payment of $54.76; aid to dependent children totaled $2,445,86# for 77,070 persons, an average of $31.87; general assistance to 47,766 recipients amounted to $1,813,604 or an average of 37.97; 5,033 recipients of disability assistance received $355,949 or an average of $70.72, and blind assistance to 3.787 pe; sons totaled $228,693 or an average of $60.39. Payments to recipients in Mc- Henry county was as follows: aid to dependent children, 12 people, $393; blind assistance, 3, $159; disability assistance, 5. $261; general assistance, 82, $1,200.64; old age assistance, 223, $11,438. * A call has been issued for bids for construction of a new state office building in Springfield, and proposals will be opened Dec. 15.* Governor Willjam G. Stratton, in making this announcement, said some twenty houses and garages will be torn down this winter to clear the site so major construction can start next March. The new building, expected to be completed in about two years, will occupy a two-block area across the street from the west entrance of the State House. It will furnish space for «tate agencies now scattered in 19 different locations in Springfield and costing annual rent of $375,000. > •f "JL" Twice Told Talcs Forty Years Ago John Engeln went out last week Friday and returned home with fifteen of thg finest mallard ducks brought into |fc- Henry this season.
