In making this decision, the money cost was not the oojective; the ‘

amount saved by removing a few recipients from the welfare rolis will

oo have very little effect on the total cayments made by the City in the
course of a month. The reuson for Council's action vas merely that they

. feel the trend te Social Welfare for able bodied Single individuals is
: © an unhealthy trend ang

initiative must be proviged to reverse this trend.

This letter is to infern you that no further allowance will be paid to
you durias the voericd July Ist to Cetober let, 1971, subject novever to
cn mantioned above,
