Senate Drafts New Aid Bill to Avoid Tax Hikes
Ohio Senate moves to craft a relief bill funded from existing revenue without new taxes. Senator Harold D. Nichols proposes a two year program totaling 21 million for 1937 and 8 million for 1938, with counties required to raise 3 million. The plan favors 80 percent county relief expenditures and 20 percent population for state aid, plus dollar for dollar matching. The senate seeks to cut the large biennial appropriation to fund relief.
