12 Croat Falls Trihnne ThunAy, iw. 6, 1Q73 elfare recipients unhappy with loan value limit ikiiitu By BERNADINE SOHl Tribune Staff Writer A number of Cascade County Welfare recipients are worried or unhappy about that portion of the revised eligibility policy that places a STjOO loan value limit on the vehicle owned by a recipient of general assistance. County commissioners have that govern eligibility for general assistance. The policy applies to any readily convertible resources. "There are exceptions to every rule.

We give individual a tent ion to every individual applicant. I think this car value limit is reasonable but all policies are subject to broad Youth is held for killing of Hereford Cascade County Sheriff's deputies, investigating the shooting Sunday of a Hereford bull on the Willow Creek Ranch near Belt, took 17-year-old Great Falls youth Into custody Wednesday and ordered him held for county juvenile authorities. A ranch employe, who reported the shooting Monday morning, said the 3-year-old bull, valued at approximately $850, was found dead in a barrow pit about one and one-half miles from the ranch house. Deputies said it appeared the bull was taken from its pen near the ranch barn, led down a county road and shot between the eyes. Officials said there was no attempt made to butcher the animal.

interpretive responsibly Anyone who feels his case is a distinct hardship has the right to come in and talk about it," he slid. McLaughlin said there has been only one instance since the policy went into effect July 1 wiiere equity in car was a factor. If the car value exceeds an applicant's equity, his eligibility is conditioned on his willingness to convert the excess value to cash by attempting to trade for lesser value. The welfare director said sometimes applicants arrive at their own interpretation of policy. "Only one or two were denied and it was their decision," he said.

"When we started to talk about it they get upset and walk out. But, hopefully, we do individualize every case." Deaths and funerals 'cggy9 Wilson car value limit to ADC recipients (Aid to Dependent Children). There shouldn't be $1,000 difference. Many go from general assistance to ADC when their situation changes and so they would have sold their car unnecessarily." Mary Kendall, chairman of Indian Education Center: "The reaction I am getting from Indian people is that if they can't get general assistance because of their car value, they will let their kids drop out of school. There's no school bus service for junior high or senior high kids there an no public transportation.

They figure they work all summer lung for a decent car and go on general assistance for a few months, and have to sell it. They are not getting general assistance for free. Most qf them work part of it out, anyway. Nobody can make car payments on GA-it's not cash, you know, it's food and rent vouchers. They should take a good hard look at this policy.

It isn't a ritzy car that has a $500 book value. They could make it 'reliable We are saying in this present policy if the family has decent transportation the kids can't eat." But the director of Cascade County SRS (welfare) Harold McLaughlin had a different view. Said McLaughlin, "There is a tremendous degree of misunderstanding about the rules pickup for temporary hauling jobs or season work and you can't get a dependable pickup for $750. And say you get sick and when you get out of the hospital you may apply for general assistance for one month while you can't work, will you get turned down on account of having a decent car? A lot of people may have a car valued about that limit but only $100 or $lr)0 equity in it and they say Like it back and get a cheaper car but you can't get a depundable car for $ir0 and you probably can't set up financing for one a little better. have an old car and it won't run half the time." Rose Sheetz, 1717 6th Ave.

"I don't like the idea. If you've a good car, say a $700 car, and it runs gojd, you'd have to sell it and maybe buy one for $300. Then you'd find you had to spend a lot to keep it running. I've got a $650 Volks with about $500 book value and I have to spend money for repairs." Gary Hall, 626A 18th St. "I've been on welfare two years due to disability.

When I had my accident they made me get rid of my car. I don't think it was fair. The people I had my car loan with were willing to give me an extension so I could have time to make a decent trade or sale, but I had to get rid of it right now. I had to let it go for repossession and that goes against a person's credit. Of course, I don't think people should be allowed to use county funds to pay for a car.

I can work part-time if I don't stand too long so traded part-time work for a clunker. But I did find out a person can get along without a car. I walked for a year." Irene lloule, member of the recipients' Medical Advisory Board to the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (welfare): "I don't agree wiih this part of the welfare eligibility policy. It's not fair that a person would have to sell a car for just a few months of temporary general assistance. People forget these people are taxpayers, too, and that they need a car to find a job." Monty Barry, 1719 6th Ave.

S. "I feel strongly that it's all wrong to set a limit on value of a welfare person's car. You are just getting more problems if you have to trade downwards. And how long could you live on that couple hundred dollars, anyway? This is another way of taking the dignity away from those who must live on welfare. I don't think the finger should be pointed at anyone for what they have, but rather point out what they do not have." Doris Flesch, chairman of the Cascade Welfare Rights Organization: "People like smeltermen laid off or on strike shouldn't have to get rid of a car that runs good just to receive help for a month, or three of four, or until they find a job.

There are no two ways about that. The state sets a MONTANA LANDS INC. Will Be Closed Dec. 6th In Respect to the Memory ef C. F.

In his order Nelson referred to Montana law pertinent to the establishment of and the existence of a highway and noted that the road petition of 1899 for establishment of the road failed in three points: Failed to list the owners of land over which the proposed road would run; failed to state whether the owners consented to the laying out of the proposed road, and failed to state probable cost of the proposed right-of-way.

J. Nelson has ruled that there exists no easement or right-of-way through the Kitchingman Co. ranch property west of Cascade and that the ranch firm is entitled to its costs incurred in a trespass case involving area land developers. The ranching firm brought to trial on Oct. 1 a complaint against James Gist and Carl Heishman for trespass and for the permanent enjoining of Gist and Heishman from trespassing on the plaintiff's lands.

Gist and Heishman counter-claimed for damages alleging the existence of a county Mission Creek-Trout Creek-Weigard Park Road, through the Kitchingman property and the ranch operators obstructed the defendants from using the road.
