White Relief Plan Approved By Bettman
Columbus march 12. Attorney General Gilbert Bettman approved constitutional authority for Governor White s proposed relief program to fund poor and unemployment aid if a special General Assembly session is called. The plan would raise the utilities excise tax and allow local subdistricts to use portions of gasoline and motor vehicle taxes for relief, with refunds via the higher utility tax. The AG said the tax would be statewide and uniform, and that existing laws on motor vehicle tax proceeds could support relief, though amendments would be needed to use funds before 1934.
