§ 93. Provisions for financing home relief. 1. Definitions. When
used in this section:

(a) Home relief means home relief as defined in section one hundred
fifty-seven and also includes all administrative expenses of home
relief.

(b) Local share of home relief means the total cost or estimated cost
of home relief after deducting the amount or the estimated amount of
state aid received or to be received therefor under the then existing
law and rules.

(d) City means any city responsible for the administration of home
relief.

2. Estimates and appropriations. Each county, city and town shall
make an annual estimate and appropriation of the total amount required
for the fiscal year for home relief in accordance with this article.
Such estimates shall show not only the total amount so required, but the
estimated state aid to be received, and the estimated local share of
home relief.

3. Additional appropriations to supply deficiencies in the annual
appropriations. Should the sum or the aggregate of the sums
appropriated or amounts available and authorized to be expended in any
county, city or town be less than the amount required in any year for
home relief, supplemental appropriations may be made from time to time,
and in that case not less than the same percentage of the local share of
home relief included in such supplemental appropriations may be raised
by taxes levied for the next fiscal year as would have been raised by
taxes for the current fiscal year if the amount of supplemental
appropriation had been contained in the annual appropriation for the
current fiscal year.

6. County taxes. County taxes for the payment of obligations and
interest thereon, issued for home relief shall be a charge upon the
entire county but shall be levied in the first instance against all the
taxable property in the territory in which the county public welfare
district is responsible for the administration of such home relief.

8. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this section, until
the commencement of the fiscal year in any county, city or town next
following December first, nineteen hundred forty-six, the local share of
the cost of home relief in any year, in lieu of being raised by tax, may
be paid from any other funds available, provided, however, no monies
shall be borrowed to pay the cost of home relief.
