20.000,000 ON RELIEF ROLLS, SURVEY SHOWS Severe Cold Increases Need; Influx of New Faces Cancels Gains. (Continued From Page One) ness upturn from making the inroads into unemployment that the JK'iV Deal had anticipated. Picture More Complicated Today the relief picture is more complicated than a year ago. From 12 to 14 million persons are better off than they were under the Federal dole, with larger work benefits to spend as they see fit, but those remaining are in a worse position, dependent as they are on the states and local communities to provide direct relief. Divided authority and responsibility have created in the states considerable confusion as to the numbers on relief. When the load was strictly a Federal job only one set of books was necessary. Now it is a double-entry system. Transfer of persons from WPA to direct relief, or vice versa; the payment of supplementary direct relief to WPA families, and the certification of relief clients to private or Federal jobs other than WPA, confuse the totals. Significant figures have been obtained, however, in all communities covered by the Scripps-Howard survey. They emphasize the continued Seriousness of the relief situation. N. Y. Relief Load Gains The number of person receiving relief in New York City, for instance, is greater than a year ago. In January, 1935, cases numbered approximately 325,000. Today the figure is 393,000. In New York state, one person in four is receiving some form of relief. In Pennsylvania 17 per cent of the population is on relief, or in round figures, 1,630,000 persons. This is about 23,000 fewer than last year. Nearly 700,000 are on direct relief. Cleveland's relief load is a quarter million persons. About the same as 12 months ago. Working on WPA are 41,000 persons, supporting in all 155.800 individuals. Direct relief cares for 90,000. More than 475,000 persons in Indiana depend on Federal or state relief. The load is heavier than two years ago, but slightly less than in January, 1935. One out of seven Hoosiers is receiving aid. Knoxville Reports Drop In eight months unemployable cases in Colorado advanced from 9760 to 13,331, while 43,233 persons obtained WPA jobs. About 8 per cent of the State’s population is on relief. Harris County, Texas, including Houston, reports 12,913 relief cases, against 11,655 last year—which when translated into individuals meant an increase of about 9000 persons. The county’s relief load constitutes 11 per cent of its population. San Diego, Cal., has 754 more cases on relief than in February, 1935, but some of the increase is due to a change in California’s oldage pension law. A drop in the relief population is noted in Knoxville, which lists 17,813 cases compared with 20,000 last year. Buffalo and Erie County, N. Y., report the relief load rising steadily, with an all-time peak in prospect r.cxt month. Some 37.00 Q families are being supported on WPA and 20,000 more by direct relief. Little Change in Total New relief cases are being received in Cincinnati at the rate of 1500 a month, about 50 per cent of which have not asked aid previously. There is little change in the total relief load from last year's 33.663 families. One out of 13 in San Francisco gets relief from WPA. but in the state of California the ratio rises to one in 11. In the city 55,000 individuals depend on WPA for a living. Total relief cases in both city and state have declined. Youngstown, 0.. has a relief population of 15,000, slightly more than a year ago. Two persons are employed by WPA for every person on direct relief. In all of Ohio more than a million depend on relief, half of whom get WPA benefits. The state total is about the same as in 1935. Texas Shows Decline Washington. D. C,. reports 35,530 Individuals supported by WPA. 75 per cent of them Negroes. The national capital, however, has 27,370 other persons on direct relief. El Paso County, Texas, reports 18.352 of its 130,000 residents on relief, all but 2700 of them under WPA.

Let ’Em Come The next band of burglars who invade the residence of Herbert Kenney, assistant public counselor of the Public Service Commission, are going to be a very unhappy lot, indeed. Mr. Kenney and his family close their New Albany home during the winters and live in Indianapolis. Recently, the Kenney home was broken into by thieves, who beat a hasty retreat from a barrage of tear gas released *by a bomb device Mr. Kenney had arranged in a rolltop desk. Fearful that the next marauders will come prepared for tear gas, Mr. Kenney has arranged neat little mustard gas traps at strategic points in the house. He is willing to bet that the next burglar or burglars will find they had a very “bomb” idea.

TAX ASSESSING WORK TO OPEN HEREMONDAY Deputies to Make Annual Rounds With Personal Property Lists. Annual assessment of personal property is to begin Monday. James F. Cunningham, Center Township assessor, announced today. Mr. Cunningham has appointed 250 extra field deputies and 20 addition office deputies for the assessment period, which closes May 15. Property assessments in other Marion County townships are to be made at the same time. To facilitate the work, Mr. Cunningham urges persons to fill out assessment lists upon receipt, so that they may be ready when deputies call. Taxable Items Personal property includes household goods, autos, diamonds, jewelry, cash on hand and not in banks and other tangible properties, Mr. Cunningham said. The number of furnished rooms in a home, and make, body, model, number of cylinders and year of automobiles must be included in the filing, the assessor said. Valuation of autos is to be determined by the assessor from a schedule approved by the State Tax Board. Household goods, autos and appliances are assessable for full value, even though full payment on them has not been made Mr. Cunningham said. Each deputy is to be provided with receipts to issue upon payment of county dog taxes, and a receipt should be demanded by the taxpayer, the assessor said. In instances where household goods and business of an individual are at separate locations, two assessment lists should be filed, and autos owned by business or professional men should be listed for taxation from the address shown on the auto license application, Mr. Cunningham said. He reminded taxpayers that every man between 21 and 50 years is subject to poll tax. Use it daily for Ts esafa
