Social Security
Workload Revealed

More than 5000 men, women
and children applied for Old-Age,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance
payments during 1861 Walter r.
Campbell, Manager of the Social
Security District Office, announced.
July, August and September were
our heaviest months" he added,
caused by the 1861 Amendments
to the Social Security Act" Effec-
tive with wages paid on January
and thereafter the tax rate is in
creased one-eigth of one percent,
or 10 cents more social security tax
on every $50 of a workers earnings.
The employers share is increased
an equal amount This additional
tax finances the increases in the
program made by the 1861 changes. g
Many workers 65 years and
over still have not applied for
Old-Age Insurance payments.
Nearly 5000 people from the Dis
trict visited or wrote asking queS-
tions about the program in the
last IL months Another $500 per-
sons receiving checks asked for
some special service, such as
changes of address. 5000 applied
for new or duplicate social securi-
ty cards. Most of these applicants
were young men and women look
ing for their first Job. Campbell
estimated that these figures rep
resented about a 1870 increase in
the Workload of the Cumberland
office. One new position was
created in the office during the
year to help meet this increase
plus the use of overtime, and
some internal procedures.

additional levy for school bond

May Raise Base For
Starting Sales Tax

Any adjustment in the sales tax
would be limited TO maximum
loss of SIS million in revenue to
the state, according TO Gov. Tawes
this week.
He said he had asked the sales
tax division to estimate how mucn
revenue the state would lose by
starting collections al various levels
higher than the existing rs cents.
He said he would not recommend
any change until the estimates are
received.
The starting base was lowered
just last year from 81 to rs cents
and the sales tax also was expanded
to include restaurant meals cost
ing more than 81. All of the addi-
tional money plus statewide eX-
tensions of Scent tax on pack
of cigarets was redistributed to
the counties and Baltimore city.
Tawes said complaints about the
nuisance" caused by collecting
the sales tax at 25 cents prompted
him to ask for the study on re-
suits of raising the base. But 1t
would have to cost no more than
about one million or million and
a half in revenue" he said He
said he hoped to be able to use no
more than half of a $12 million
reserve to balance next years
budget. This would be in addition
to about So million in surplus an
,icipated from this years operating
budget.
Tawes said the total amount of
the budget he will submit to the
Legislature next month is running
"a little higher" than anticipated.
The current budget went over half
a billion dollars for the first time
in Maryland history.
Fiscal experts have figured that
the Maryland budget increases by
about SIT million annually just by
normal growth without materially
adding services. One item already
approved for the next budget is
increasing state payment to hos
pitfalls for caring for the poor sick,
amounting to 100000.

To Raise 13-Star
Flag On State House

Governor j. Willard Tawes will
raise 13-star American flag over
the State House in Annapolis next
Monday January 15) in Maryland's
first observance of the ratification
of the treaty with Great Britain
that ended the War of Independ-
ence.
The ratification of the Treaty of
Paris, on January IA. 1884, occur
red in the Old Senate Chamber
of the Maryland State House. Gov
ernor Tawes has proclaimed Janu-
airy ID Ratification Day Since
January IA falls on { Sunday this
year, the ceremony will be held
the following day
In letters inviting public officials,
historians, members of historical
societies and others to attend the
ceremony, Governor Tawes said:
"On January IA, 1884, an event
of great national historic signifi-
canoe took place in our State
House in Annapolis, which at that
time served as the Capitol of the
United States.
The War of Independence had
been won, a treaty with Great
Britain had been negotiated in
Paris and the one act that remained
to be accomplished to give final,
formal recognition to the new Ma
ton was the ratification of that
treaty
The Continental Congress on
January ID, 1874, convened in what
we now call the Old Senate Cham
Der in our Maryland State House
and ratified that treaty The Ameri-
can Revolution was at an end.
For some time | have had the
opinion that in our observance of
historical occurrences we have not
given proper recognition to the i'm
portance of this one event. And
so, this year | have proclaimed
January IA at Ratification Day"
in Maryland, with the request that
it be suitably observed by the
people of our State"
The ceremony in Annapolis will
be held at 10 A NJ, on the East
Portico of the State House, or,
in the event of bad weather, in
the Old Senate Chamber.
