LEGION'S POLL ! REVEALS BONUS MONEY DESTINY

All Business and Industry Expected to Share in Distribution. By r nitrd Prrns WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—The American Legion today presented Its picture of where the veterans' bonus dollar will go—a picture showing that virtually every phase of business and industry will react to the tinkle of fresh coins in the cash register. The picture was based on a questionnaire answered by some 42,000 ex-service men, and was predicated on full cash payment of the bonus. The Baby Bond feature of the present bill will reduce expenditures by about $500,000,000 or 14 per cent, the Legion estimated. This sum should be deducted from each of the totals presented, the Legion said. If all the certificates were cashed, the veterans’ organization believed, veterans would receive $1,988,391,182 or about $565.17 apiece. Congressional sources have estimated the entire bonus cost to the government at around $2,237,000,000. Here's how the veterans say they will spend their money: To pay old bill* and debts ..$623,615,793 On home* (>13,145,000 Clothing 130,893,000 Anlomqhilrs and accessories .. 138,581,000 Farm Implements 43,831,038 Investments 154,003,000 Insurance 07,338,000 Education 17,855,000 Savings accounts 88,884,000 Miscellaneous 70,031,313 The average veteran, the Legion revealed, will put a bigger share of his money into paying off the butcher, the baker, the physician and the dentist than any other single item. Next he will put a large share of his money into his home. The Legion estimated that 677,723 veterans would spend about $196 apiece in repairing their homes. This would mean an expenditure of $133,341,613 in home repairs or almost as much as was spent through the deral Housing Administration all 1. t year. Those without homes—in many instances—will buy them. 239,568 to Buy Homes The Legion figured that 239,568 veterans would buy homes, making first payments, at least in part, with bonus money. Some 115,000 will buy lots and 153,724 farms, the estimates showed. The veterans’ group forecast a minor building boom should result from the payment, with $92,451,003 in bonus money going into home building which the Legion believed ■would mean a total home construction program of $641,056,000. Money spent inside homes will be equally important. Veterans indicated that the articles they would buy most of were furniture, rugs and carpets, electric and gas refrigerators, furnaces and radios. Some $8,761,000 should be spent on radios alone, the estimate showed. More than a million wives of veterans are going to get new hats and dresses, if there is any bonus money left over after paying the bills, the poll showed. For every dollar that veterans spend on their own clothing they will spend $1.71 for their wife and children. That acocunts for an expenditure of $88,342,000. Comparatively small amounts are destined for education, insurance and savings. Only 440,891 veterans, the poll indicated, will spend on insurance; 115.231 on education, and 361,670 will put some money into the bank.

HINTS $50,000 SAVING AFTER LIGHTING SURVEY Engineering Firm Official Makes Proposal to Works Board. Harry K. Cuthbertson, president of the United Management and Engineering Cos., told the Works Board today that his firm could make a survey in eight or 10 weeks which might save the city $50,000 in street lighting costs. Mr. Outhhertson had not been invited to the meeting. Robert Eby board vice president said, adding that Mr. Cuthbertson’s proposal would net be acted on because the city now is preparing a proposal for negotiations with the Indianapolis Power & Light Cos. for a reduction of the present rate of $386 000 a year.
