Perhaps you have a house with

you were told wouldn't need
storm windows. But you found
last winter that condensation
on the inside of the window
peeled away the paint and left
your interior metal surfaces

you started to finish your base

of rust.
Rust problems aren't confined
just to steel easement window

Counties Split
Almost S. Million
In Tax Refunds

Columbus, - County govern
ments have shared in the distribu-
tion of a S4,728,4 ,405 melon during
the last seven years through the
handling of prepaid sale tax cou-
pons, State Treasurer Roger w.
Tracy said today.
The melon" represented the ag-
gregate amount of commissions
paid to the several county trea-
surers under provisions of the
sales tax law which authorizes the
payment of l per cent commits
sion to the treasUrers for the dis
tribution of the stamps Of the re-
tail vendors.
These commissions, Tracy point
ed out are paid directly into the
county's general fund, and, in
many instances, have constituted
q major source of income for the
counties.
There is no question:" Tracy
said, "but that this distribution,
which has averaged about S675, ,485
per year. has aided many of the
counties in the solution of their
financial problems. 1t is possible
that in some cases, the payment
of these commissions has reduced
or eliminated entirely the need
for additional tax revenues to
meet normal operation of the
county government.
THE county treasurers, as a
group, have performed a dual
service in not only augmenting
the flow of revenues into the
ccunty's general fund, but also in
playing major roles in the admin
stration of the Seleetive sales tax.
IT would like to take this oppor-
tunity to commend heartily the
services which have been render
ed by the county treasurers, both
to. the state and to their respec-
tive counties. Their cooperation has
been keenly appreciated by the
treasurer's office which is charged
with the collection of the tax" he
added.
A breakdown of the commissions
paid to the counties during the
period shows that Madison County
received S15. 400.
