Ohio Pensions To Be Paid In Final Quarter 1938
Ohio Finance Director M. Ray Allison told the Social Security Board that the state has funds to cover its share of old age pension payments for the last three months of 1938. He certified that $4,000,000 would be available based on income from the liquor gallonage tax and liquor profits, with projections of $2,150,000 and $1,850,000 respectively. Past shortfalls forced borrowing from the General Revenue Fund to meet pensions amid declining revenues and weaker liquor sales.
