Ohio lawmakers seek tax relief and pension protection
Representative Ann Ryan proposes a Senate House resolution urging Congress to remove the 20 percent luxury tax on items essential to business and livelihood. A second resolution protests reductions in old age pension payments, citing reports that hundreds of pensioners may lose about $2 monthly. Welfare officials attribute cuts to routine needs assessments. The presiding officers signed a bill to curb new horse race tracks, requiring 51 percent township voter approval. Additional actions include World War I bonus payments for minors, appointing an extra highway deputy at 4500 annually, and a bill to curb picketing near courts with penalties of 5000 dollars and one year in jail.
