              NEW  RELOCATION  SUBSISTENCE  PLAN
MORE  LIBERAL  ALLOWANCES PER FAMI LY
   To encourage more family relocation instead of individuals, subsistence allow-
ances for evacuee families resettling hereafter will be calculated on family size
and  needs,   according  to word   received  by Project Director James  G.  Lindley this week.
   The  new plan  provides for the same transportation allowances that have  here-to-
fore have been allotted but permits a 5-day subsistence allowance of $25 for each person
making the trip regardless
of the number in a family.
Under the old procedure,
no family was allotted a
subsistence allowance of
more than $100. This, how-
ever, means that individual
relocation will hereafter
be granted only $25 instead
of the $50 allotted by the
old setup. All grants are
to be disbursed in checks.
   Relocation assistance
grants are based on need,
all family members are el-
igible for subsistence al-
lowances, provided that the
cash resources do not ex-
ceed $100 per family member.
   Evacuees who  wish to
apply for relocation as-
sistance grants may receive
full particulars from Leave
Officer Willis Hanson.___________________________________________

necessary.

tographic dark room. A
