C. Fleming January 16 to test the plan, is talking about enlarging ac- tivities in Townsend Plan tests to a national scope, In the test being made at Brew- ster, merchants make a tax on all tramsactions, not just on those made with “prosperity checks.” D. D. Holland, ene of the spon- sors said “We have about $50 in the ‘kitty' and are getting along fine. Merchants say their business hes increased almost one-fourth, so they don’t mind paying a tw percent tramsaction tax.” David Sampson, who is spending $200 worth of “prosperity ehecks” in a test of thé plan, has enly about $10 left. Lamb said that 742 cities in all have asked him to direct Townsend Plan Dollar tests. “I am about to agree to direct a movement te put the Townsend Plan imto effect, if I am forced into this by seeing Congressmen revise the McGrorty Bill which I believe inadequate, and unwork- able," Lamb said. .
