About 100,000 persons in the San Antonio area receiving Social Security checks will get an 8 per cent boost in their July checks. Due to a cost of living increase, the added money will funnel more than $1 million to San Antonio recipients. It means checks will be $7.60 to $37 fatter. Suit filed for alleged bomb threat The government Monday filed a $1,000 civil suit against a San Antonio man who allegedly made a bomb threat while aboard an airplane.

The 8 per cent increase represents the rise in the consumer price index between the second quarter of 1974 and the first quarter of 1975.

The average mother with two children will now receive $474; average aged widow, $193, and the average disabled worker with wife and child, $440.

The increase will give the average retired male worker an extra $16 a month for a total of $184; a retired couple over 65, $314; male worker over 65, $316.30, and a disabled worker, $224. 2 insurance agents fined The State Insurance Board has levied $2,000 in penalties against two San Antonio men.
