Anaheim Gazette, Thursday, August 18, 1949 Waters Reveals Huge Spending Of Funds To Forestall Prop. 4 Repeal By EARL G. WATERS Western News Service Sacramento (WNS)—Thousands of dollars of state money are being hurriedly spent in an effort to forestall the repeal of Proposition No. 4, the state's new aged and blind aid program adopted last November by the voters. This was learned here today as the State Department of Social Welfare's stepped-up schedule for county-by-county take over was uncovered in detail. Altogether, Mrs. Myrtle Williams, the $12,000 per year director of the department under Proposition No. 4, and former private secretary of George H. McLain, promoter of the $85 per month pension scheme, plans to take control of aged and blind aid administration in 34 counties prior to November 1st. The effect of this is to have two-thirds of the counties operating under the direct state administration of welfare prior to the time the whole subject is re-submitted to the voters at the special election November 8th. 25% Increase At that time California voters will have the opportunity to repeal the McLain pension program which passed with less than a 40,-000 vote majority out of the more than four million votes cast, or to Mrs. Williams plans to take over one-third of the operation each month starting in October. A program which has been started with the signing of more than ten leases accomplished. Aside from the leasing problems, Mrs. Williams' determination to push through the county to state transfer before the November election is reportedly causing much confusion among the social workers. 3500 Workers Effected In Los Angeles county more than 3500 persons are effected by the transfer. These are the county social workers who are acquiring state civil service status under the program. In the event Proposition No. 4 is repealed the state will be faced with the problem of what to do with this large number of social workers while the counties will be without their old employees to carry on with the work. Finance director Dean admitted that the speeded up take-over was forcing the state to "take whatever space is available" but said on the whole the state is doing fairly well. He said in the event No. 4 is repealed the state... The effect of this is to have two-thirds of the counties operating under the direct state administration of welfare prior to the time the whole subject is re-submitted to the voters at the special election November 8th. 25% Increase At that time California voters will have the opportunity to repeal the McLain pension program which passed with less than a 40,000 vote majority out of the more than four million votes cast, or to endorse the program which has resulted in an increase of aged aid grants of 25 per cent with a resultant cost increase of nearly 50 per cent. The state as of June 30 was paying out in excess of $17 million per month for aged aid. This includes payments to 13,222 persons under the age of 65, made eligible by Proposition No. 4, but for which no federal money is received, the state bearing the entire cost. In view of the proposal to repeal Proposition No. 4, state finance director James S. Dean counseled for a deferment of the take-over until after the November election. His suggestions to the legislature however went unheeded and Mrs. Williams retained authority to carry-out the transfer of indigent aid from the counties to the state. In this she is doing quite well and already leases for state welfare offices have been signed in 19 counties including San Francisco where the department does not contemplate actual transfer of operations until December. High Rent An example of how this hasty action results in high rental costs is seen in the deal made in Los Angeles for office space at three different locations. There, because no other space was available on such short notice, the state was forced to enter into long term leases on buildings to be constructed at three locations by an interlocking corporate structure known as the Boston Corporation. Rentals run from 13 cents a square foot to 16 cents a square foot for the space whereas in other localities the state is able to rent for as low as three cents per square foot. Actual transfer of operations already has been accomplished in nine counties with six more slated for September 1st. This does not include Los Angeles county where Proposition No. 4 is repealed the state will be faced with the problem of what to do with this large number of social workers while the counties will be without their old employees to carry on with the work. Finance director Dean admitted that the speeded up take-over was forcing the state to “take whatever space is available” but said on the whole the state is doing fairly well. He said in the event No. 4 is repealed the state will either sub-let the space or find some other use. “We are doing our best to get short term leases and we are insisting upon subleasing privileges,” se stated. He conceded however, that the state was finding difficulty in securing the short term leases. “We've only been able to write a few of those,” he said.
