Ohio approves veteran bonus to aid 900000 ex servicemen

Ohio voters approve a veteran bonus amendment by over three to one. About 1 123 971 voting for and 365 074 against. The plan issues up to 300 million in bonds to pay out bonuses of 10 per month domestic service and 15 per month foreign duty from 1941 to 1945 with a $400 maximum. Bonds retire in 15 years via 12 million yearly from general revenue and an added real estate levy. An extra 3.64 per year per 5000 assessed value funds the difference. The legislature also earmarked 25 million in state revenues to aid bonus payments.
