Letter dated August 18, 1970 from St. Joseph ST. JOSEPH COUNTY DEPT. <br />County Department of Public Welfare: This letter is OF PUBLIC'WELFARE, <br />over the signature of Mr. Wilmer H. Tolle, Director. TEMPORARY OFFICE NEEDS <br />They are seeking temporary quarters to house their food <br />stamp unit on the first floor of the building at 125 <br />East Washington, beginning early in September; to be <br />used for 6 -8 months. They will also need quarters in <br />two to three parts of the City for selling food stamps, <br />beginning October lst. Until further directions are <br />received from Washington, D.C. on what Congress might <br />do with the Family Assistance Program and direct issuance <br />of the Food Stamp Program, they have no approved appro- <br />priation for office rental and the request is for gratis <br />offices. <br />President Wilhelm recommended the staff explore the <br />various properties we have available, scheduled for <br />future demolition, which could be used for this purpose, <br />and have this information for the next Commission meet <br />ing. Also, to contact Mr. Tolle and explore further for <br />funding. The Commissioners vetoed supplying the requested <br />quarters, unless it can be done without further expense <br />to our Department, as we have no funds appropriated for <br />heating and utilities that would be required. <br />Mrs. Gu P. Curtis suggested exploring the Model Cities <br />building. They are using only one floor and it is in <br />the Mod 2l Cities neighborhood also and centrally lo- <br />cated. A.C.T.I.O.N., Inc. might help also, as they <br />have fo r areas. <br />-5- <br />
