Should Watch
Income Limit
u o
5 As a veteran or Ihc widow of a
veteran doo your flon-service con
nected pension payments excee
statutory limits? State Veteran s
department has urged all con
3 ccrned to check their income to be
sure that theyalo not.
Vgteeans and their beneficiaries
receiving such payments will be
spared trouble and annoyance Jiy
reporting change iif anticipated in
come since failure to report some
income arising from overpayments
may result in recovery. Existing
law says annual income in excess
g! certain amounts tnust be re
ported and the Veterans Adminis
tration is thereby required to stop
payments.
Prompt notification will result in
discontinuance of pension pay
ments effective at the date of the
last payments. Failure to notify
will result in discontinuance retro
active to January 1, of the calen
dar year nnd steps taken to recov
er the entire overpayment. Income
limitations for any calendar year
are $1400 for veterans without wife
or child, or a widow without child
ren or $2700 for cither with eligible
dependents.

In Tom Cox Store
Turner Crump, post master in
1851, is supposed to have had his
office in Thomas Cox store, Sa
lem's first (1847) and located at
the northeast corner of Ferry and
Commercial street when the town
was platted by W. H. Willson,
March 22, 1850.'
Locations of Salem's post office
during the later 1850s are unknown
to this writer. When John T. Ham
ilton was post master in 1861 there
is reason to believe that the post
office was located at the rear of
the newly constructed Moorcs
building at the northwest corner of
State and Commercial street. It
was not there, however, on Jan
uary 29, 1866 when the Oregon

locates the office at the rear of the
