Sociol Sesurity Benefits
intrease in Houston Co.
How much do Houston County residents stand to
gain as a result of the hike in social security
payments, soon to go into effect
What will be the average size of retirement
checks to local beneficiaries, under the new
schedule.
Based upon the latest figures from the Social
Security Administration, which give the number
of recipients in the area and the amount they were
getting at the beginning of 1971, their total benefits
will be approximately $614,000 greater per year
than they were before.
During the last four months of this year, when
the new rates will be effective, their payments
will rise by $204,000.
The new bill, as voted by Congress, provides an
across-the-board boost of 20 percent for the 28
million retired or disabled workers and their
dependents who are getting social security
checks.
Under the new scale, the annual payment for a
retired single worker would go from an average of
$1,596 to $1,932; for the average retired couple,
from $2,676 to $3,240; for the single worker with

LI CUTE NAN T GOVERNOR EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
March 17, 1972
The Honorable Stanley E. Smith, Jr.
State Senator
Drawer F
(x.- Perry, Georgia 31069
Dear Senator:
Another session of the Georgia General Assembly has ended,
and I am pleased to take this opportunity to write and
thank and commend you for the most outstanding job you
continue to do as a public servant.
Although we are both independent men and do not always vote
alike and take the same position on all issues, I want you
to know that I truly admire you for being your own man. You
are not a fence-straddler on any issue but a man of courage,
conviction and forthrightness which never leaves me or
others you work with in doubt as to where you stand.
You not only work during the regular and special sessions
of the Georgia General Assembly, but you work throughout
the year as a Georgia Senator in service to your constit
uents and to Georgia. In fact, during my years of service
in government, I have yet to find one person to be more
able, more dedicated, more dependable and more productive
than Stanley Smith.
I am proud that I was privileged to appoint you as Chairman
of the most important committee on Economy, Reorganization
and Efficiency in Government. In my judgment, naming you
as chairman of this committee was one of the best day's
work I have done at the State Capitol.
There is no doubt that your service in life has
been a sacrifice to yourself and famil .d has cost you
tens of thousands of dollars in personal income, but I
know that your work as Chairman of ERE&C has saved the
taxpayers of this state tens of millions of dollars.
Further, your voice and leadership on the most important
committees on Appropriations, Banking and Finance and
Rules provides you with a position of authority and
service reached by few men in government. I know that you
often fight against great odds and often your head is
blooded but you are a fighter and stand your ground. You
are the kind of man we need more of in government, and I
urge you to continue to serve your people as their State
Senator. They and all Georgians are fortunate to have
you serving in the Senate. I appreciate your counsel,
advice and support and for the fine manner in which you
often serve in my position as President and Presiding
Officer.
Trusting that 1972 will be a good year for you and looking
forward to our continued association at the State Capitol,
1 am
Sincerely,
'S Lester MaddcA '

the couple getting maximum, from $3,888, to
$4,632.
just how much a worker collects after
retirement is directly related to his earnings
during his active years, and, in turn, to his con
tributions to the pension fund.
The latest annual report of the Social Security
Administration shows payments going to Houston
County beneficiaries at the average yearly rate of
$927 per recipient
Beginning in the early part of October, when the
first checks reflecting the increase will arrive,
covering the month of September, the local
average will be $1,112 per year.
What it adds up to, for the local community as a
whole, is pension receipts next year erf ap
proximately $3,686,000, as compared with the 1970
total of $3,072,000.
The increases will be automatic. No application
for them need be made.
As for the rise in the tax rate needed to pay for
the bigger benefits, there will be none until
January Ist, according to the new legislation.
