Tax Savings Total $983,000 Here

There will be more spending money in Adams county soon and. consequently, more business activity as a result of the tax cut approved by congress. The first effects here will be felt the week of March 8 - 14. The bill provides for tax reductions of different sizes, varying according to income level. For those with modest incomes, the reduction in the tax rate is dramatic. Families in the lower brackets will profit considerably from the new "minimum standard deduction” of S4OO for husband and wife. Many families will be lopped off the tax rolls because of it. Effect Here In Adams county, where average earnings have been on the rise and have reached $8,600 per household before taxes, the savings will be greater than in many other communities. For a married couple locally with two dependents and with an income equal to the prevailing average, the tax on 1964 earnings will become $l,OlO, or $l4O less than before. For families with gross incomes at the $12,000 level, the annual tax will drop to $1,675, a cut of $lB5. Where gross earnings are only $4,000 a year, the new tax will be $220. which is S6B below the current rate. $983,000 To Spend Taking into account all Adams county’s families, those with large incomes as well as those with small ones, the tax reducIndiana Woman Held On Poison Charge CROWN POINT. Ind. (UP!)— Mrs. Barbara Shield, 34, Hobart, was free today on $5,000 bond put up by the parents of her husband, whom she was charged with trying to poison over a long period of time. Doctors at Chicago’s Passavant Hospital said William Shield, 34, a well-known area golfer, was fed small doses of arsenic in candy, medication and hair tonic. He is paralyzed in the fingers of both hands and from the knees down. Mrs. Shield was booked on a charge of ‘‘poisoning with attempt to kill” Thursday in Lake County Criminal Court following a tv >state investigation that began last Dec. 23 at which time doctors determined Shield was ill of arsenic poisoning. Indiana and Illinois authorities investigated the case. Judge H. McKenna granted a defense request to lower bond from SIO,OOO to $5,000. which was put up by Mr. and Mrs. Werner Shield, parents of the victim. The Shields have two children, ages 4 and 6, the oldest by an earlier marriage of Mrs. Shield. Doctors said it may be a year before Shield can walk again. COURT NEWS Real Estate Transfers Anthony J.

tion based on present earnings will total approximately $983,000. Hie addition of that much cash to the amount already in circulation locally will have a multiple effect, according to the economists. Their explanation, in brief, is that the increase in consumer buying will deplete store stocks, thus creating the need for more merchandise. This, in turn, will stimulate factory production, cause the hiring of more work1962 OLDS F-85 Deluxe 4>Door Sedan. Radio. Automatic Transmission. White Side Wall Tires.
