CITE DETAILS
In OPERATIONS
OF COLLECTOR
SHOWN THAT SERVICE REM
DERED IN SOME CASES ARE
IN EXCESS OF REVENUE DE-
RIVED

Despite the general belief that
collections at the office of Tax
Collector Frank H. Laid are all
of large sums. there are many col
lections in which the efforts to Sc
cure them and the postage, are
much in excess of the percentage
accruing to the collectors office.
This was exemplified yesterday
by MIR. Laid when he explained
the contents of a book which con-
tanned duplicates of so receipts
which had just been recently used
and the original receipts sent to
owners of property.
Beginning of operations meant
sending out statements of the
taxes outstanding against the
property, which were mailed in
envelopes, each of which carried
ia one-cent stamp. Taxes were
paid and the receipts required the
use of so envelopes and so three
cent stamps.
AT the lowest possible cost the
envelopes were worth 20 cents,
the stamps cost So, and the re-
turns from the 100 transactions,
sending out the statements and
receipts after payment, totalled
$7.76. Of this the office gets two
percent. or a fraction over Is
cents.
Not included in the costs of
sending out statements and re-
ceipts, is the labor entailed.

When President Roosevelt call
ed the special session of Congress
the country was virtually in a
boom STAGE as compared with to-
days conditions. Stocks were at
high levels. Unemployment was
going ahead on a comfortable
scale. Though unfavorable signs
existed, they were few and ap-
parently Insignificant, and almost
everything pointed to a highly
prosperous winter season.
Now, in two months, the pic
ture has changed completely.
Stocks, in spite of occasional fur
ries, are holding stubbornly at
levels close to the October lows.
With few exceptions, industrial
production continues to sag. I'M
employment is increasing alarm
ingly. And it is very likely that
this winters relief problem will
be as grave as in any year since
1929.
One result of this is a complete
change in the attitude of Congress
and, to a lesser degree, change
in the attitude of the Administra-
ton. The special session was pri-
marily to create seven new re-
gional electric authorities similar
IN nature to the iva. It was as
Sumed that these matters would
absorb the undivided attention OF
the session, and that nothing else
of moment would be brought up
on the floor or IN committee.
What has happened? The wage
and hours law is in a state OF
chaos, with warning faction seek
ing to change it one way or an
other, and with a strong Congress
ssional bloc opposed to the passage
of any law of its type. The CHANG

ENTERS IN OLD
AGE ASSISTANCE
PERTAINS TO LAW GRANTING
LIEN AGAINST ESTATES
LEFT BY THOSE RECEIVING
SUPPORT

JACKSONVILLE, Dec 10 (FNS)
Those applying for old age as
sistance in the future may be re-
minded of provision of the state
social security law granting a lien
against estates left by those who
have been supported at public ex.
pense.
The State Welfare Board, after
hearing an appeal from Dade
county in which it was brought
out that the appellant desired aid
so that he might meet payments
on his property and retain his
home, thereby creating an estate,
adopted a resolution directing
that Section ID of the social Sc
curity law, relating to liens, be-
printed on the old age assistance
application blanks, provided the
consent of the Social Security
Board could be obtained.
An amendment to the resolu-
ton, also adopted, would include
on the application form ques-
ton as to whether or not the APP
plicant understands that such a
lien may be taken.
Application for permission to
change the old age assistance plan
in the particular specified has
been made to the Social Security
Board at Washington by Clayton
c. Codrington state welfare COM
missioner. -.~----A-.----..--@--.4- j
The State Welfare Act, known
as Senate Bill No. I'LL, provides:
Section IA. Estates.-If any per-
son who has been supported at
the public's expense die leaving
an estate, the state or county or
both, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to have claim and lien
in force to the extent of the
public assistance provided to
the said deceased. But if
there remains a widow or min
or children liable to become pub
lie charges, then this claim shall
be waived.
The Federal Government shall
be entitled to a share of any
amount collected from recipients
or from their estates equal to not
more than one-half the amount
collected, if required as a condi-
ton to federal financial partici-
patton, and this amount shall be
specified by the State Board. The
amount due to the United States
shall be promptly paid by the
state to the United States govern
ment."
