Urge Collection
Delinquent Taxes
Mr. Tabor L. Hill
Delinquent Tax Collector
Newberry, S. C.
Dear M. Hill:
Under the law which provides
that in the collection of delin
quent taxes, all sheriffs and tax
collectors shall be under control of
the Comptroller General, it is my
duty to insist that immediate dis
position be made of all delin
quent taxes now in your hands.
While . all delinquent taxes
should be cleared up as quickly
as possible, I am particularly in
sisting that all delinquent taxes
which have been in your hands for
a peirod of two years or more be
disposed of, either by the collec
tion of the taxes; the sale of the
property; or by nulla bona return
where the property cannot be lo
cated out of which collection can
be made; on or before December
31st of this year. It is my full
intention to use every means and
authority vested in me by law, to
enforce the collection of delin
quent taxes. While I have no de
sire to embarrass any delinquent
tax collector or sheriff, such ac
tion as is provided by law will be
taken in the event delinquent
taxes are not disposed of as above
outlined.
When taxes are permitted to re
main delinquent over a period of
years, the county necessarily must
suffer for the simple reason that
property against which such taxes
are levied might be exhausted and
no collection can be made. It is un
fair to the taxpayers to permit cer
tain property owners to escape the
payment of taxes, for the reason
that the taxpaying public must
carry the burden which should be
shared by those who are delin
quent in the payment of their
taxes.
I sincerely trust that you will
take immediate and positive ac
tion in this matter, and while this
office is ready to give you every
cooperation possible, I cannot em
phasize too strongly the fact that
the delinquent taxes in your hands
must b' ^mediately disposed of as
provider by law.
Yours very truly,
E. C. RHODES,
Comptroller General.
Following is a statement made
by Delinquent Tax Collector Ta
bor L. Hill:
“Every effort is being made to
fulfil] the request of the Comptrol
ler General, and has been so since
my appointment.”
Mr. Hill asked that the delin
quent taxpayers cooperate.

Veteran’s Corner
Tighter control over the on-the-
job training and education sec
tions of the Servicemen’s Read
justment Act has been given the
Veterans Administration.
The authority was needed to curb
growing abuses of this section of
the law, which pays subsistence al
lowances to veterans while follow
ing an earn-while-you-learn course.
Under a new law, the Veterans
Administration is permitted to give
financial assistance to the states
to maintain supervision over train
ing establishments and to establish
nationwide standards of training.
Some of the provisions of the
new ruling are explained in detail
in the questions"and answers which
follows:
Q. What is the maximum
amount a veteran may earn under
the new Act regulating subsistence
allowances for schooling and train
ing?
A. A veteran with dependents
may earn a maximum of $200 a
month; without dependents, $175 a
month.
Q. How much will the Govern
ment pay a veteran who is study
ing or training if he is earning this
maximum ifrom his employer?
A. Nothing.
Q. How does the Act limit sub
sistence allowances?
A. By stating that “in no event
shall the rate of such allowance
plus the compensation received ex
ceed $175 per month for a veteran
without a dependent or $200 per
month if he has a dependent or
dependents.”
Q. Will the provisions mean a
cut in subsistence allowances?
A, For some veterans, the new
provisions will mean a cut in allow
ances.
Q. What effect will the legisla
tion have on students in full time
and part time school courses?
A. They may earn as much as
possible while attending school. If
such earnings total less than their
income they may receive subsis
tence to the amount of the differ
ence.
Q. How will the provision work
out for the veteran in training who
is earning less than the amount
fixed as his limit
A. He can receive as subsis
tence the difference between $175
or $200, depending on whether he
has dependends or not; he can re
ceive enough of the allowance to
bring his total income up to his
maximum.
Q. Do the new provisions apply
to disabled veterans enrolled under
the vocational rehabilitation Act?
A. No. It affects only veterans
and establishments involved in the
GI Bill.
Q. Will the new measure delay
monthly checks?
A. No. August 31 checks will
go out on time and will give vet
erans the same amounts they have
been entitled to before the new
Bill was passed. Veterans are
warned that if they are subject to
the cut in allowance they will owe
some of their check to the Govern
ment, and over a reasonable per
iod of time will be expected to re
turn it. The payments will be
handled so there will be no break
in pay to veterans. ;

icemen’s Readjustment Act, contact
