§ 135. Cooperation of public welfare officials. 1. It shall be the
duty of every public welfare official to render assistance and cooperate
within his jurisdictional powers with every other public welfare
official and with the family court and all other governmental agencies
concerned with the health and welfare of persons under their
jurisdiction.

2. Every public welfare official shall also cooperate whenever
possible with any private agency whose object is the relief and care of
persons in need or the improvement of social conditions in order that
there may be no duplication of relief and that the work of agencies both
public and private may be united in an effort to relieve distress and
prevent dependency.
