agency of welfare activities in the State, with authority to create in
each county a County Welfare Board, constituting an administrative
department of the local government. Such boards, when created,
have authority to administer public assistance and relief to families
and individuals in need, including the administering of relief under
the Mothers’ Assistance Law, the administering of Old Age Pension
relief, the administering of relief to the blind, handicapped and
needy, the care of neglected, dependent and delinquent children. Each
County Board consists of seven members, one of whom shall be a
County Commissioner, and serves for three years. The local board
of each county and the Department of Welfare of Baltimore City are
charged with the administering of Old Age Pensions. The Old Age
Pension Law (Chapter 592, Acts of 1935) provides for a State-wide
system of old age pensions by the local boards and the Department
of Public Welfare of Baltimore City, under the general supervision
of the Board of State Aid and Charities.
In order to finance the Old Age Pension Law and to provide for
the funds for unemployment relief, the Legislature, during the 1935
session, passed the Emergency Gross Receipts Tax of 1% on gross
retail sales in the State. It was estimated that by this tax sufficient
revenue would be derived for unemployment relief and old age pen-
sions.
County Welfare Boards for each of the counties are as follows:
