Unemployed Marion county men can cut cordwood this winter to remain off the welfare rolls, the county court announced Thursday. : Except for a brief experimental period last spring, this is the first such program here since depression days.. ! Payment of $7 per cord on a lot; at Mission Bottom, for burnin at the courthouse, is "to afford opportunity to able-bodied men" to earn, according to county judge Rex Hartley. The project I" has started already, with a small num ber of workers, supervised by Harvey Girod, county road patrol man. . ; i i . General assistance payments by the county; welfare office were down In October from a year ago, mainly due to securing of more lobs, said : Marion Bowe, admin istrator. She said no men able to work are being placed on the rolls yet this fall. General assistance declined from 261 payments of $16,908 in October, 1950. to 143 payments of $9,631 last month. Law Affects List Miss Bowen said a few have left the old-age assistance list because of the law holding relatives re sponsible for support and some because of the prior claim law giving the state recovery of pay ments from the welfare recipient's estate, she i pointed out In the former case, Marlon county's gain ed one such which repaid a son's 19 months of liability for aid to his parents. Old-age payments, now aver aging $55.70 per persons per month, totaled $84,495 to 1,519 persons last month, compared td $84,260 to 1,522 the previous month and $80,760 to 1,524 in Oc tober, 1950.i Miss Bowen credited me in crease to a raise in food standards a vear aeo and to the moving of some recipients to convalescent homes to to higher rent for lodg ings because of razing of many old buildings. . List Declines 1 The aid to denendent children roll was considerably lower last month because of the availability of seasonal work during the late summer' and the cooperation of the district attorney in finding fathers who have not been sup porting their families. Miss Bowen praised District Attorney E. O. Stadter.' in. for this work in funds for children. i Stadter nointed out that a new law permits bringing the father before a court in another state to gain his cooperation,' thus allow ing him tor continue work there and not be returned to an Oregon court. . 1 ' i-.. . , 4 This list was 128 children, with their families paid $14,114, com nared to 165 and $19,329 in Octo ber. 1950, and 125 and $13,863 in September, 1951, ' " Other categories include blind assistance, level at 24 cases but payments: down from - $1,669 to 11.530 over the year: aid to the permanently and totally disabled, a new program tms year, in cas ea at 18Jt38r medical care. $4,325 a year ago' and $2,071 last month. 19S1 PRICE 5c O Em Problems Cuts .Ordered For 27 Firms PORTLAND. Nov. 8 -4JPi- The state tax commission today order ed a one-sixth reduction in the personal property ; taxes of 27 Multnomah county firms. !The action, Sheriff Terry Schrunk said, may cause a large part of the county's tax funds to be tied up for months. The commission ordered the sheriff to scale down the assess ment ratio of merchandise of the 27 firms from 60 per cent to 80 per cent of its true cash value. The reduction would cut "county tax receipts by only about $40,000. but Schrunk said he feared that other personal property taxpayers might go to court Jto seek similar reductions. "The point we raise Is that the order does not treat all merchan disers the same." Schrunk said. If the reduction has been Riven these, others are entitled to it" The commission order reversed and earlier ruling by the Mult nomah county tax equalization board. .. .. . - Yoiing Driver Gives Up After 3 Wrecks (Three wrecks In two months are too many, Robert Jack Kremble, 19, Tillamook, advised Secretary of State Earl T.
