TV-Elec Value Line Inc Wellington We Give GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central Sweetland and Morticians Clash On Burial Costs Portland - (CPD - State Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwau-kie) and a spokesman for morticians clashed here over what Sweetland termed "the high cost of dying." Sweetland called upon the Interim Committee on Public Welfare Monday to recom mend the next session of the Legislature be asked to place a limit on priority claims of morticians against decedents' estates. He said that under present law funeral expenses and costs of last illness have an absolute priority, without limit, over all other claims against a decedent's estate. He said some small estates were completely exhausted by mor ticians' claims. Introduced Bill Sweet land introduced a 1959 bill which would have limited priority claims of mor ticians to a maximum of $300. It did not pass. Harry G. Spencer of the State Welfare Commission testified that ex cessive claims of morticians and the cost of legal action to challenge such claims put a burden on welfare funds. Edith Daily, executive sec retary of the Oregon Funeral Directors association, replied that "only 5.4 per cent of wel fare burials are involved in this criticism. We give many charitable services and the number of morticians who operate unethically is ex tremely small, although every profession has a few problems in its own ranks." Sweetland urged the Com mittee to reintroduce his bill in 1961. The committee de cided to draft a new bill to be discussed at its February meeting.
