OLD AGE PENSION
15
ISSUED, IN SALEM
SALBM P Tue old ego pension
statute makes lb mandatory upon ithe
' county , count to grant pensions to au.
pllcanta entitled thereto regardless of
budget limitation, Attorney General
I. H. Van Winkle held In an opinion
rendered the district attorney of Des-
. chutes county.
Deschutes county requested .tho
opinion aa to what procedure should
be taken when the county's 3,000 i
budget for old age pensions Is tided i
up. The request stated a much larg
er amount than sot In the budget
would be required to pay the pensions
set forth. r ! 1 I (' (
Under the statutes, cited by the at
torney general in Ills opinion on old
age pensions, 'he said "It would ap
pear that the counties would havo
ample authority to provide for suoh
payments, either from the par
ticular fund or out of the emergency
fund." , i I 'I ' t
His opinion further emphasized the
duty of the court by stating that
"when application is made by a pc,
son to tho old ago pension commis
sion for a pension, it is the manda
tory duty of ithe pension commission
to grant suoh pension If the appli
cant is entitled thereto, which, how
ever shall ho In such amount, not to
exceed 130 a month, as it may deem
advisable, but which must bo suffic
ient to provide for mich person in
accordance with the mandatory duty
expressly Imposed upon tho county
by statute so to do.
"That when the pension commis
sion has fixed the amount of such
pension. It is the imperative duty of
the county to Issue and pay the war.
rants covering the amounts of the in-
whether or not a sufficient amount.
or any amount at all. was provided,
tor in the parUcuW Hem Ui U bud-,
get to provide for the aggregate
amount of all such claims during any
partloular period."
The opinion held further that tho
old age pension law and the statuto
of 1930 requiring counties to care for
the poor thus Imposes "mandatory
duty .upon ..the counties to provide
toy- the oare and maintenance of its
joor persons."
