The department did find an extra $75,000 in the machinery fund and used it to reduce a county aid road construction request of $451,000. This item still remained $129,000 higher than for 1964 and accounted for most of the increase in the request. -i if Discussion of the highway request again centered on the re quest for the county aid program, as it has so often and at such great length in previous years.

Minor items bring the year, total 1965 request to $2074205, an increase of more than 25 per cent over 1964. Federal and state aid will reduce the total requested of the county to $88,670, or $31,725 more than for this year. The requested amount for 1965 is nearly double that for 1963.

In aid to the disabled, said Johnson, direct grants will increase only $2,000 to $60,000, The finance committee finally decided that the entire highway budget will have to be re-reviewed at a later date.

So any increase in these costs must be paid by the county. The same is true of disabled aid, said Johnson, but here the rapidly increasing caseload contributes to an even higher rate of increasing costs.

The higher caseload has been brought about by liberalizing of the eligibility rules a couple of years ago, said Johnson. Johnson also submitted a higher bill for administrative costs of the department, although increased state aid will actually result in a lower county share of the bill. Administrative costs will total $173,612 for 1965, or $11,000 more than for 1964, with most of the increase being for salaries. But state aid totaling $102,431 will cut the share to be borne by the county to $71,181, or less than for this year. Actual costs this year will be only $60,109, or $14,445 less than was expected.
