SURVEY PLANS ARE ANNOUNCED Plan State-Wide Survey In Unemployment Compensation Law Indianapolis, Aug. 1. —A state-, wide survey to determine whether employers subject to the Indiuna unemploymet compensation law are complying with its provisions will be inaugurated within the next two weeks, according to an announcement by Clarence A. Jackson. director of the unemployment ; compensation division. The program will open with two or three counties, not yet selected, las experimental ground for developening the procedure which will be used. Mr. Jackson said. Regular field agents of the state gross income tax division, which also is under Mr. Jackson’s direction, will conduct the check-up campaign "More than 5,100 employers," Mr. Jackson said, "have filed reports on an entirely voluntary basis and paid the proper contributions to the unemployment fund. The number filing voluntary has been gratifying. When the statewide survey is made we should ■ have a complete list of .those sub- ■ Ject to the law. “The survey not only will be of service to employers who have filed voluntarily, by bringing their • competitors into line, but also will I help thos who have neglected to I file and are allowing penalties and interest to accumulate on past-due contributions.” Contributions at the rate of 1.2 per cent of pay rolls since April 1 have been due monthly from employers of eight or more persons. The contributions will be used for > payments to qualified unemployed when benfits become payable as- • ter April 1, 1938. Mr. Jackson pointed out that an I employer subject to the Indiana law would gain no advantage by . attempting to evade contributions under it, since the employer still . would be required to pay the full Federal pay roll tax due on 1936 pay rolls. Such an employer, however, would not be able to take the 90 per cent credit allowed against the federal tax for contri- . butions to the Indiana fund. i o ■ City School Board Reorganizes Tonight • | The annual reorganization meeting of the city school board will be : held this evening. The law requires that this meeting be held on one of the first three davs of August > o Offer Bus Service From Parking Field Twenty acres of free parking . space have been obtained by the t Decatur Centennial association on I south Mercer Avenue, acroe® the , street from the Decatur Country
