Payment OF Old Age
Pensions
Authorized In Fourteen Coun-
ties In State At Early Date

Fourteen Maryland counties which
have levied taxes for old-age pen
sions were authorized Friday by
Harry Greenstein, State Relief Ad-
ministrator, to begin payments as
soon as they have established the
proper routine.
His announcement was made at a
meeting of county officials and well
fare authorities assembled in Balti-
more to acquaint them with final de-
tails of the old-age pension system
and it's administration. The speed
with which the plan is put into opera
ton now depends entirely on the
counties, he said.
Approximately 1900 applications
have been investigated by the county
relief agencies thus far, according to
Mr.. Greenstein, and workers are en-
gagged on about 1900 more. His
tgures showed that although about
S760,0OO will be available from the
State for pensions this year, the
counties have levied only about
$4,000 for this purpose and can
draw on the State for no more than
twice the amount of their individual
levies-or about $24S,O00 on basis
OF the present figures.
Baltimore city's budget provides
no funds at all for old-age pensions
this year, but efforts are being made
to have a substantial amount includ-
ed in next years budget.
Samuel E. Shannahan, chairman
of the Board of State Aid and
Charities, attended the meeting and
pointed out that matching State
funds for old-age pensions was one OF
the ways in which the Federal Gov
eminent intended to continue con-
tributing to State unemployment pro-
grams, although direct relief grants
would cease.
Federal old-age pensions have not
been appropriated by Congress, how
ever, having been held up by the late
Ge..atlr Huey Longs filibuster at the
close Of last session.
The amounts reported as available
through local -leySsas in the various
