ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec. 15-(AP)-The Anchorage City Council has voted to drop a $3,070 item for the Territorial Welfare Department from the city's 1952 budget.
The vote was 5 to 1 after a hot debate at the weekly session.
The majority members argued that city taxpayers already pay territorial taxes for the support of the welfare department and should not have to ante again via the city.
Mrs. Margot Hoppin, the lone council member for the appropriation, got hoppin' mad and told the council majority:
"This is the least giving city I have ever seen. There is a great deal of personal charity, but none by the city."
