The following communications, relative to relief funds petitioned for, were now presented and read: From Jefferson County 77elfare Board, to -wit: Port To:vnsend, Wash., June 80th, 1933 The honorable Mayor and City Council. Port Townsend, Wash. Gentlemen: The enclosed is a copy of letter received by the Jefferson County Welfare Board from the State Emergency Relief Administration :Yorks Department and in accordance with our instructions we are transmitting same to you for your information. Very truly yours, JEFFERSOti COUNTY •ir'ELFAHE BOARD, By Dr. C. F. Kuhn, Commissioner. From Ross K. Tiffany, Yanager Works Lept. The communication referred to in the above lette visa next presented and read, as follows, to -wit: State Of Washington Emergency Relief Administration. Olympia Washington, June 27th, 1933 S;r. C. F. Kuhn, Coirarissioner, Jefferson County Welfare Board, Port Townsend, ;Mash. Dear Mr. Kuhn: - This will acknowledge, on behalf of Mr. Ernst, your undated application for Grants in Aid to Fefferson County and to the City of Port Townsend. Vie note that for City projects no local financing is possible. The State Welfare Commission has definitely taken the position that as a condition prededent to state Grants in Aid there should be local finan- cing to the extent of at least 501' of the total cost of the project. Your City Commissioners, I am sure, Trill appreciate that if state funds are distribu- ted to local projects it must be on an equitable basis. Other communities are meeting this condition and it would be unfair to them to make grants on more favorable terms to Port Tovrneend. Federal Grants in Aid are also conditioned on local self help. Through the emergency that has made available state and federal funds to aid local agencies on projects such as those submitted by the City of Port Townsend, communities hav, the opportunity of getting essential public works built with the aid of substantial federa: and state grants. If the city is unable or unwilling to do the necessary local financing at this time it ::ill be faced with the necessity of taking care of these needed improve- ments entirely from its own resources. It is understood that there will be available federal funds for public work loans to minucipalities at the rate of perhaps 3�°�. It mlEht be possible for the city to provide local financing for some at least of its projects through such federal loans. Will you be good =nough to lay these facts before the Mayor and City Commissioners of Port Tosxgsend Very truly years, (signed) Ross K. Tiffany, Manager ','forks Department. Said comn.unicat Ions were ordered filed for future reference. TRUCK INSURANCE. Insurance expiration notices were received from Col. H. M.
