Exemption Board Work and Local Sketches From Monroe
The Union County exemption board compares with others, granting few exemptions and stressing case by case review. A Mourne married man with two children was denied exemption after investigation revealed home stability and the man’s limited work. A man with dependent parents was found to be a plain son, not aged or infirm. In another case a father with four dependents was exempted. The piece also discusses China’s tuberculosis exhibits and local Monroe notes on benches for colored people, plus a long yarn about Sol the barber, Mandy, and George Meredith in a humorous prewar tale.
