Larger u. 5. Pension
Grants for Poor
States Favored
Sentiment for Byrnes
Formula Develops
In Committee
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Strong sentiment developed today
In the Senate Finance Committee for
amending the social security law to
provide a larger Federal grant for
old-age assistance payments in poor
States than in the Wealthier ones.
Although the committee will not
take up the matter formally until
tomorrow, several influential men,
bers said they favored a formula
along the lines proposed by Senator
ByrneS, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima.
Public payments to the needy aged
now range from an average of $605
a month in Arkansas to 1926 a
month in California, and Senator
Byrnes has suggested that the Fed
eral share be greater to per capita
income in the States in order to re-
duce this variation.
At present, the Federal Govern
ment matches State funds for old
age assistance on a dollar-for- dollar
basis. The limit on such Federal
contributions is SIS a month per
recipient The House voted recently
to increase this to $40, but decided
to keep the grants on a dollar-for-
dollar matching basis.
SIS Minimum Proposed.
Senator Byrnes contends it Is USE
less for the Federal Government to
tell poor States it will put up one
half of $40-amonth payments.
You might just as well offer to
pay one-half of $100 a month" he
says. Many of the States simply
have no means of raising revenue
to make such payments"
His proposal requires that old
age assistance payments shall not
average less than SIS a month in
any State. States would have to
contribute at least S. a month or
the Federal Government would cut
off its contribution entirely.
Federal grants to match the State
would range from so to 6623 per
cent of the total spent in each
State. The percentage that the Fed
eral Government contributed would
increase in proportion to the amount
that the average per capita income
in a State fell below the national
average
Opponents contend the proposal
would place an unfair burden on
the weather. States and that it
would encourage poor States to relax
their efforts to provide increased
contributions.
Altmeyer Favors Need Basis.
Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman of
the Social Security Board, favors
distribution of the Federal grants
on a basis Of need and relative
economic capacity" of the States,
but he has proposed no fixed for
mula for doing this.
The Senate Finance Committee.
which is considering all the social
security revisionS adopted by the
House, already has approved one of
these provisions-that the increase
scheduled in old-age insurance taxes
next January l be postponed for
three years.
Tax authorities have estimated
that delaying this increase will save
workers and employers 1925 900, 900.
The committee has voted to
broaden the House definition of "ag-
ricultural labor which is exempt
from the social security taxes-to
include workers on waterways,
bitches and similar projects for the
benefit of agriculture.

VERDICT AGAINST CITY, OF
HAVRE DE GRACE

The Hartford County Circuit Court
has returned a verdict of $4,000
Tor Frank Maxa, Jr., in his damage
suit against the City of Havre de
Grace.
The suit arose from the result of
dredging operations at the city park,
while the yacht basin was being con-
structed. Mr.. Maxa claimed that
when he bought the property there
was ample water to float his boat to
a point on his shoreline where he in
tended to construct boat house and
pier AS the. channel was dredgel
Tor the yacht basin mud seeped from
behind a retaining wall and filled up
the channel to the proposed site OF
the boat house. Mr. Maxa testified
that as a result of that the value OF
mis- property had been considerably
lessened. He had entered suit III
the amount of $4,000.

FEDERAL HOUSING

Evidence of the widespread pub
lie acceptance of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration insured mort
gage system in Maryland is shown
by marked gains in small home NOR
! tgages accepted for insurance by
the Baltimore Office of the FILA
during 1898. Gains in number of
mortgages accepted over 1887 were
approximately 81 percent while the
+! increase in dollar amount was 70
percent, Kent R. Mullikin, State
Director said today.
Utilization of the restored property
credit plan was also shown by the
1898 records. An aggregate of s.
1917 modernization notes was insur-
ed during the year, involving 3d.
43O,425 for additions, alteration,
and repairs to real property through
out the state. The figure is all the
more impressive Mr.. Mullikin point
ed out, as the property i'm
provement plan was not put
into operation until late last Feb
ruary. The original property i'm
provement credit plan, provided by
the National Housing Act, expired
ON April /, 1887, and was restored
by Congress on February 3, 1888.
1.-THE passage of amendments to
the National Housing Act last Feb
ruary", Mr.. Mullikin said, 'undoubt-
eddy may be credited to a great extent
for the large gains in insurance VOL
ume shown by our 1898 records.
The amendments materially expand
ed the operation Of the insured
mortgages system and made home
ownership more more widely avail
able to the general public.
Under the provisions of the
amendments the FILA now in
sures mortgages of 5,400 or less on
newly constructed ower-occupied
homes which are made up to 80
percent of the FILA valuation of the
property instead of the usual 500.
Further convenience was provided
by allowing % years instead of the
usual 20, as the maximum payment
period on mortgages in this cate
CORY.
The amendments also reduce fin
ancing costs by eliminating the an
nual service charge on insured
mortgages. All these factors have
played part in stimulating FILA
business during 1888 in the Balti-
more area"

New Bridge May Be
Toll-Free

On Thursday Leo M. Moore, mem
Der of the House of Delegates from
Hartford county, appeared before the
House Ways and Means Committee
and explained why the old bridge
should be retained, toll free, or the
new one made toll free to Mary
landers.
Chairman, chief engineer and at
torneys for the State Roads Commits
sion were present at the meeting to
present their side of the case. They
estimated 1t might take thirty years
to pay off the bonds for the new
bridge from toll revenues.
The entire committee received Mr..
Moore's suggestion favorably and
promised that a plan favorable to
all concerned will be worked out.
1t is thought that If the present
bridge cannot be retained that the
new bridge will be toll-free to all
residents of Maryland. Nothing def
mite has been done in this matter as
yet, but action will be taken during
this session of the Legislature.
There is a possibility of the work
on the new bridge being stopped and
the road rerouted to south side of
P. RR. tracks to run over the old
bridge ledger, Havre de Grace.

NEW REGISTRATION FOR
NORTH EAST VOTERS

In order to vote at the annual
Gown election in North East on Mon
day, March 20, all voters in that
town were required to comply to
a law but recently passed by the
legislature providing for new reg
istration on March 6 and Z.
The act was pushed through the
legislature following the ruling OF
Judge j. Owen Knots of the Cecil
County Circuit Court. This rul-
ing resulted from a suit in which
property owners attacked bond
issued for sewerage and water which
had been voted by the residents
under the old law.
Only voters registering at this re-
gistration will be eligible to vote at
the town election, which will be held
on Monday, March 10th.
