Many Eligible
For Payments
The Social Security Board esti
mates that the number of dig bles
for lump-sum or death benefits for
North Carolina during 1937 will be
6,945. Up to April 9 only 11 claims
had been filed with the Social Se
curity Board from North Carolina.
Additional claims are in the process
of being filed, and it is probable
that the number will increase rapid
ly as the year progresses.
To qualify for a monthly benefit
a wage earner must be at least 65
years old, his total wages from
covered employment after 1936 and
before age 65 must be $2,000 or
more, and he must have received
wages, after 1936 in covered em
ployment for work on at least 1 day
in each of 5 calendar years before
reaching age 65.' Only wages up to
$3,000 a year from any one employ
er are counted as to total wages.
Monthly benefits are not payable
until 1942.
Meantime, the Social Security
Board’s regional and field offices
are now prepared to assist workers
who have reached age 65 to file
their claims for lump-sum pay
ments which are payable now to
those who qualify. These pay-j
ments amount to 3 1-2 percent of j
the total wages received in covered
employment after 1936.

Raleigh, North Carolina
May 3, 1937.
Mr. Theo B. Davis,
Zebulon Record,
Zebulon, N. C.
Deat Mr- Davis:
You, no doubt, subscribe to the
Newji & Observer and read the at
tached article when it appeared in
the Sunday issue.
Since the matter of ut lity charg
es for electric service has been a
much discussed subject during re
cent years, the facts as presented
by Mr. Dill are especially interest
ing.
Toward the end of the article, it
is explained that municipal rates
are higher than those charged by
large power companies in order
that electric revenue may furnish
money wh ch normally would be de
rived from taxes on property. In
view of this statement, it is inter
esting to note that regardless of
the low rates charged by our com
pany we pay a 1 beral share of the
tax expense of the communities we
serve.
In 1936. our total tax bill amount
ed to approximately $1,500,999
Stated differently, we paid in tax
es last year approximately $4,100
per day or an average of about
SIB.OO per year per customer serv
ed. Inasmuch as almost 40 per cent
of our residential customers ptty us
$1.50 or less per month for electric
ervice, it is easy to see that we do
rot receive in revenue from this
group enough money to pay the
tax bill on the basis mentioned
above.
This question naturally presents
itself, “How much less could pri
vately owned utilities Charge for
electric sendee if they like,
publicly owned plants, were not
required to pay taxes?” Maybe the
subscribers to your paper can fur
nish the answer. In any instance, I
believe your average reader wheth
er or not he is a customer of ours
will be interested in the above in
format on should you care to com
ment on the subject.
Yours Very Truly,
E. N POPE,
Director Sales Promotion
and Advertising.

Just a pleasant greeting, and the miles melt away before
the warm tones of your voices over the telephone.
in these days, families and friends may be scattered to
the four winds—but reunions are quick, happy and inex
pensive when you use long distance telephone service.
Keep those ties of friendship and affection alive and
strong. On holidays, birthdays, or any day, let your voice
express your greetings to loved ones in other cities.
Anytime in the day or night—right now in fact—the
long distance operator is ready to take your call. Ask her
for information about the call you want to make.
