How they stood at the be-
ginning of this year is reveal
ed by Sales Management in a
copyrighted report that de-
tails, for every section of the
country, what portion of its
population falls within each
of the income categories.
The report gives a clearer
meaning to the term "aver-
age income" as applied to a
particular community. 1t sh-
oWS whether the average re-
presents earnings that are

represents a few families

meager earnings.
In Geauga County the bal
ance is good and the average
relatively high. Some TIP per
cent Of the local households
now have cash incomes. after
taxes. of $4,000 or more.
That is a better situation
than prevails in most parts of
the United States. where only
64.5 percent of all households
are in the "over $4,000" brac-

Is the trend toward higher

% finance greater state aid for
Maryland education and welfare
He also made clear that any al
tentative to the James committee
program for these raises would
have to gain overwhelming legisla-
tive support before he junks the
James plan. That plan calls for
$6.4 million increase in state aid
to the counties and Baltimore city
for education and S2.5 million boost
in welfare assistance.
The talk was about lowering the
sales tax floor from purchases of
81 cents to those of Is cents.
The governor said he was not
ruling out the possibility of a
compromise proposal The COM
promise was being pushed by Bal
timore county Legislators whose
subdivision would be left out of
any increases under the James
committee plan. and by parent
teacher groups.
The James program calls for the
S64 million in additional educa-
ton aid to be split about evenly
