I do not think there is any question but that this indigent migration has been one of the greatest factors in the increased tax load of many communities. This has been very well covered in the Monthly Labor Review by the United States Department of Labor. August 1938. volume 47. page 2. beginning on page 240 under Refugee Labor Migration to California. 1937. I am not going to try to cover that here now but give this as a reference for informative information for the committee and others who should be interested. I think part of the answer. at least. is contained in the wire from Roger Jessup. chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County. which is here quoted: All Los Angeles County watches with anxious Interest the efforts now being made to halt flow of Indigents here.
