them to the right of receiving
their retirement or survivors bene-
fit check each month. I mention-.
ed these beneficiaries |n last
week’s article when I said that
the new law would enable thbm
to receive increased old-age and
survivors insurance payment*
As I explained last week, this
increase has been written into the
amended Social Security Act to
help bring benefits in line with
current earning levels and living
coats. All of the people who are
going to receive higher benefits
will want to know right awgy how
the Increase comes and how much
it will be.
The first thing which should be
pointed out is that this increase
is automatic for persons already
receiving . checks. Beneficiaries
don’t have to write any letters,
forms, or applications for the in-
crease. If you are expecting a
September social security check,
it w|U be in the early October mail
as usual. An. the amount of that
check will be higher than your
last check.
How much will the increase be?
The answer to thia question will

W. tt.
the ease of, a retired worker, the
increase will be at least five dol-
lers. And there will bo proportion-
ate increeaea for the dependents
or survivors who are receiving
their monthly Social security pay-
ments now. ”
The minimum monthly benefit
amount will be increased from
>25 under the old law to 330 for
the retired worker and the maxi-
mum will be increased from 385
to 398.50. The maximum family
benefit which was 3188.75 will
be 3200. No minimum benefit
amount will be leas than 339 for a
retired worker or an only survi-
vor.
The social security law says
that the total family benefit
cannot exceed 80 per cent of the
insured worker’* average monthly
wage. But under the 1954 amend-
ments this provision cannot re-
dhce the family benefits below i add Joe

The other 17 Northeast Tan*
towns affected evidently approve*
the increase without investigate*.
Buckner and Bymark began
their investigation of the propose*
rate increase on October 18 aa*
reported to representatives of th*
five cities in ML Pleasant last
‘Frldhy. The Mt. Vernon City
Council was represented at th*
meeting by Mayor Sam Harvey
and City Engineer F. J. Joyce Jr.
The firm recommended that the
four smaller towns, Mt. Vernoa,
Mt. Pleasant, Winnsboro and Now
Boston accept the proposed
crease, due to the fact that eve*
with the proposed Increase, gas
service in the towns will be cheap-
er than in other nearby town*
and lower than increases grant**
recently by the Texas Railroa*
Commission.
The application from the com-
pany asked that the increase b*
approved by October 28. but duo
to the fact that the five cities
were still in the process < ‘ *
gating the proposed jn<
that date, no action was taken.
The company on that date til**
gn appeal with the Toxas Rail-
road Commission. As far as Mt.
Vernon is concerned, however, this
appeal will be dropped, since the
proposed increase has been graat-
r
The firm of Buckner and By-
mark la their report recommended
that the cities request a change
in the franchise with-tho eompayp
the cost of ygte regulation..
In addition thq firm., recom-
mended -that all utilities be re-
quired to submit annual reports
for analysis. Although, they *r*
now enticed to a rate increaas,..
icy come, when rata* ,
decreased.
council will only bo aware of this
condition if they analyse the aa-
nua! reports of the utilities.
Arkansas-Louisiana’s francMe*,
with the City of Mt. Vernoa -la ,
now expired but no, application
for renewal has been made. It te
anticipated that at the time *
new franchise is soughL that th* .
council will request the aboe*
changes.
Arkansas - Louisiana receive*
323,139.40 iq revenue from «*•
user* in ML Vernon during l»5k
and the estimated revenue unde*
the proposed increase will be *P-
proximatetly 832,461.48 or an 4a- ->
crease of approximately 10 per
cent.
Hon Mated that tWM*l W
t* tosMenUar dMMtoM
Texas would amount to 16.1 per
cent on the year’s gas bill. They
estimate that the increase to th*
average East Texas eustomeA win
be slightly less than 2c per day
or less than 60 cents per month. ■
The company also pointed o*t
that gys service at the preseat -•
time now costs most East Tease 1,-
customers less than It did
years ago. when natural gas was A.
brought to most of the towns
they serve.
The firm based its application
for the Increase on the rise in the
cost of furnishing gas to the are*,
stating that the price they pay for
natural gas has doubled since
1947. Cost of wages and materials
have Increased and the company
has also experienced a 20 per cent
Increase since 1947 in the cost of
distributing gas. •» -‘"Ui ’’
It expected that the increase
will be be shown on bills for gas
service for the month of Novem-
ber. . „
