saving to the State of Texas of $1,000 per month and would enable
the Department of Public Safety to house together their entire personnel,

March 11, 1937.
To the Forty-fifth Legislature of the State of Texas:
I am in receipt of a letter from Hon. Orville S. Carpenter, Chairman and
Executive Director of the Texas Unemployment Compensation Commission
reading as follows:
"Upon the basis of a letter from the Social Security Board dated February
27, 1937, (a copy of which is attached hereto) and of statements made
to me in Washington last week by Mr. R. G. Wagenet, Director of the Bureau

Wagner-Peyser funds available to such state. It appears that after the
State has accepted its maximum annual apportionment of Wagner-Peyser
funds, the Board will assume full responsibility for such supplementary financing

Unemployment Compensation System.'

Administration for the payment of unemployment benefits, and that
if this means is not provided by the State, such failure would warrant a
finding by the Board that there has been on the part of such State a failure
to comply substantially with the provision of the Social Security Act requiring
payment of unemployment compensation through the public employment
offices in the State.
"The purpose of this letter is to acquaint you with these facts in order
