The Fractions ¾, ½ and ¼ represent the amount of cost charged to each recipient.
Children living at home, and earning, NOT counted as members of family
in this scale.
A revised scale of income was adopted by the Council on the 18th May, 1928,
upon the recommendation of the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee, in view
of a reduction of £486 on the Council's estimate of the cost of supplying Milk
during the year 1928-29, by the Ministry of Health.
The amended scheme which has been in operation since the 1st July, 1928, is
as follows:—
