provided with a relief by the Maryland Workshop for the Blind in such

not to exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars per annum to be paid
monthly from the funds herein provided. The total amount granted any
man and wife for one year shall not exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Dol-

(b) Subject to the limitations in this sub-title any person otherwise
qualified to receive the relief who has an income of less than three hundred
