Over the state as a whole, the case load of the SRA on March 31, 1941, was less than half its size a year before ,the association found. On Mar. 31, 1941, the state load was 42,625 which was 44 per cent of the 96,163 case load for. the same date in 1940. Comparing the aumber of persons receiving relief during March of each year, the association found that in 1941 less than half.as many persons were dependent on the SRA as in March of 1940—the numbers being 174,007 for 1941 and 366,472 for 1940.
