10 February !, City Delinquent
Taxes Amounted To S28 | or
Scores Rush To Make Feb.
ruarY 20 Deadline Either
To Pay Taxes Or Make
Contract To Pay

Up to date of February l., de-
linquent taxes still to be collect
ed were 1921, 977.16, according to
records in City Finance Head
Charles Roberts office today.
These dlinquent taxes are for
1914 and prior years. Uncollect
ed current taxes, which won't &c
delinquent until June l, 194G,
amount to SCI, 274.28. Thus the
total is $343,251.44.
The city commission has pass
ed an ordinance which states
that anyone who has not paid his
delinquent taxes by February 20
or who has not come to the ci fy
hall and made a contract to pay
the taxes in seven installrnents,
starting at this date, will fini
that his property will go up for
public auction. 4i r ei
Another ordinance passed by
the city at the commission meet
ing this week fixes a penalty OF
two percent for anyone paying
their taxes between the time OF
the deadline of February 20 ard
the time the property is adver-
tised for sale.
Throngs of delinquent prop
erty owners have been up to the
city hall making contracts to
have the payments made. City
Tax Collector-Treasurer Archie
Roberts has been swamped with
the rush of business. Mr.. Rob
erts has issued hundreds of state
ments on delinquent taxes and
has been collecting a great amount
of taxes this month.
i Many were somewhat worried
that if they were not able to pay
the, tax collector before the dead
line expired that their property
would be put up for auction but
the, city manager said that if an
oral contract was made with HIM
before the deadIine that isis
would be recognized and THE
property not SO up for sale.

Veterans, Guide
By Moi. Thomas M. Mol

Most veterans know about disabil
ity pensions. You get a disabilit
pension for disability incurred il
or aggravated by your war service
But to rate pension for it the Vet
erans' Administration has to decid
that it is at least 10 per cent dis
abling.
Then there's another kind of pen,
sion, much less in use. It's called .
non service connected disability
pension for total and permanent dis,
ability not connected in any way
with your service It's $50 month
Service-connected disability pay.
ments run all the way from 1880 tt
web over 5000, depending upon the
kind and degrees of disability.
Up until very recently all ex-
service people who were awarded
pensions and had to go to VA hos
pitfalls had their pensions cut to $40
a month fif their disability was serv-
ice-connected) and SO a month df
non-service), If they had no de-
pendents.
The idea was. why pay a veteran
full pension when his living ex-
penses were nothing or practically
nothing? He'd be living in the VA
hospital, eating free food and so on,
and the pension would be SO much
gravy But then people started
thinking about that. Was it fair to
penalize a veteran just because he
got sick, perhaps from his service
connected disability and had to
spend time in hospital?
The new pension law abolishes
that pension decrease for hospital
lied veterans. Look at Joe H. He's
been in VA hospital for six months
because his shoulder that got shot
up near Two is giving him more
trouble. He was awarded a pension
of $39 month when he got out of
the Navy.
When he went to his VA hospital
his pension dropped to 500, because
he has no dependents. He's been
getting the 500 for the last six
months.
Now his pension will go back to
$50. In fact, it'll go to $82 80, because
the same law I'm talking about also
raised all pensions 20 per cent. He
can stay in that VA hospital as many
months or years as needed for ade-
quate treatment, and he'll continue
to be entitled to the $82.80-if the
law isn't changed again.
But he won't get it all in cash as
it becomes due. Here's whatll hap
pen: He'll get the full amount in
cash for six months. After that. he'll
get only SO per cent of his pension
S41 40-each month.
But the other half of his pension
won't disappear. The VA will keep
it for him, and when he gets out of
that hospital he'll be given the en-
tire accumulated sum.
Personally, I think that's good
idea 1 mean, Joe H.. with no de-
pendents, feels pretty certain he can
buy cigarettes and candy and other
items like that with half his pension.
The half the VA is holding back for
him can add up to a pretty solid
Evening star., 1946-09-15

sum by the time he gets into circu-
lation again
| A minimum of $50 a month i.
fixed in the law. If, when an ex.
service man goes to a VA hospital
half of his disability pension
amounts to less than $40, then he'E
get S30--and the balance will bf
retained by the VA until he leaves
hospital.
That's the new scoop on hospi-
talized, pensionable vets who have
no dependents. Veterans who have
dependents lone or more aren't af-
fected at all by this part of the new
law. They'll continue to get their
full pensions.
Questions Answered.
From T. K, Seattle: rs it now
true that a veteran taking job
training can't get more than 5000 a
month, subsistence allowance and
salary combined?"
True for veteran who has one or
more dependents. For one who has
no dependents, the top limit is SITS.

HEALTH, STRENGTH
OF POPE GUARDED

VATICAN CITY, Feb. 9-The
health and strength Of Pope Plus
is being checked and guarded
closely in preparation for the week
long series of consistories starting
Feb. 10 to create 80 new cardinals.
Late this week the pontiff sui
fered a slight cold, with hoarseness
and some fever. His physician sug-
gested that he cancel all special
and public audiences requiring him
to leave his private library or to
make addresses.
Today he still was limiting his
audiences. One of those he saw
was Cardinal elect Enrique Pla Y
Deniel, primate of Spain.
While Pope Plus condition is not
causing undue concern, it is evil
dent that the war years have taken
toll of the man who on March 2
will celebrate both his 10th birth
day anniversary and the seventh
anniversary of his ascension 10 the
