Carey's Proposal Draws Opposition ALBANY. N.Y, (UPI) -Kour business groups charged today that Gov. Hugh Carey's 1977-78 budget could deal a "fatal blow" to the state's economy by driving companies out of New York. Although Carey and legislative leaders have expressed concern over the state's business climate, the groups said, the collective response "smacks of political expediency first and realistic hard decsions to help cur economy second." "Our public leaders have not taken steps toward viable solutions," the organizations told a joint legislative hearing on Carey's proposed $11.345 billion spending plan for the fiscal year beginning April 1. Tlic charges were made by representatives of the Empire State Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries, the state Council of Retail Merchants and the New York Chamber of Commerceand Industry, The groups singled out Carey's proposal to reimpose bank and business lax surcharges which would otherwise expire.

They said the surchages and other changes would Hy I I II. D1XON amount to "$282 million of increased business taxes." "Noamount of sleight-of-hand can obscure the fact that these reimpositions are lax increases and nothing else," they said, "The reimposition violates the governor's own original assurances that these surcharges were intended to be only temporary." They said the taxes "could deal a potentially fatal blow to this slate's already shaky economy." A taxpayer's group, Citizens Public Expenditure Survey, agreed with the business the reimposition of the surcharges was "its one- major objection" to Carey's budget. "Something must be done to encourage beleagurcd business and industry to stay in this state," a CPES spokesman snid. The group praised Carey's efforts to hold the line on welfare and education spending and local budgets. The four business groups also attacked legislative, judicial and other actions which they said would cost businesses $375 miHion a year.

(UPI) -The industries and commercial establishments that have felt most painfully the pinch of Ihe natural gas shortage comprise about 6 per cent of the state's four million users, according to state officials. Exactly what caused the crisis and whet her it could have been foreseen or avoided were not as clear as the numbers, however, when energy officials testified Tuesday before a SenalecomniHlec hearing. Alfred Kahn, Public Service Commission a i a assigned blame for the "catastrophe" lo Murphy's Law, saying everytliing that could have gone wrong with the gas system did. The weather got the biggest share of blame for the crisis lliey said could not have been foreseen. There were projections by utilities in December that demands would run higher llian normal, Kahn sakl.

Me insisted, however, that "we still, because we arc not gods, could not see the winter svas going lo be as bad us it is." Kahn said Murphy's Law -Ihe saying (hat anything that can go wrong will do so -seemed to be taking hold of events when some nalural gas plants broke down, jusl as demand was peaking. While Kahn was talking, he gol word that a National Fuel Gas Co. facility in Tonawanda also liad broken down, culling Tampa PC Won't Perform Wedding No. 4 By Abigail Van Buren 10 per cent off that company's product ion. A spokesman later said it would probably lake about a week to gel the plant back into service.

Mechanical trouble that kept Ihrcc natural gas tankers from ea chi ng New York ha rb or early last month were also involved, Kahn said. Kdward Berlin, a PSC commissioner and Kalm's deputy chairman, told the Senate Labor Committee that the stale's energy administrators were "impotent" when it came to predicting when gas would run short. Interstate pipelhie companies do not forewarn the state's utilities about dwindling supplies, Berlin sakl. They simply announce reductions in gas flow. Bolh men and Bonner, head of the PSC's gas division, told the committee that the weather failed to meet long-range predictions for a wanning trend in January, something that would have slackened demand.

Gas customers in the stale, among them the 250,000 industrial and commercial users who have been cut back as supplies dwindle, have been using Ihe fuel at a rate 25 per cent above normal, acording to PSC and energy office officials. Thathas meant a demand 110 billion cubic feet more than the normal winter usage of 453 billion from Nov. 1 to April 30, the official winter heating season. Forecasts for the rest of the winter liavc not shown anything warmer on the horizon, and the demand is not likely to recede to levels utilities can acommo- dale without culbacks, according to a position paper given to the committee. Bonner lold the committee the gas system can handle winters where demand goes to 8 to 10 per cent above normal.

Rul beyond thai, there arc no reserves the state can draw on, he said. Kahn said any gas the state tried lo stockpile during non- winler months, other than some liquid and synthetic gas, would probably be ordered elsewhere by the Federal Power Commission. He also said that to stockpile enough gas to avoid shortages like the current one that has closed schools and factories would mean "intolerable" restrictions early in the winter. The current crisis is "a catastrophe of a kind that simply could not have been prepared for except at excessive cost," Kahn said. He said Ihe people of the slate probably would not have accepted early restrictions.

Kahn drew strong questioning from Sen. Norman Levy, RC- South Merrick, about how early energy officials saw the shortage com ing a nd when they notified Gov. Hugh Carey.

While coffee prices remained steady this week at $2.29 a pound, sales were level at some stores, had decreased al others and at one coffee purchases were increasing. But it was obvious that there is, so far, no organized underway to boycott coffee. "No," said one coffee purchaser, "I'm not boycotting coffee.

I've cut down a lillle in the amount of coffee 1 drink but I especially need that morning cup. It gels me going." Checks made a I slores a a i responses regarding coffee sales. Split Purchases One slore worker said coffee has "been holding it's own" although he has noticed some people buying one can of coffee and another of lea ralher than two cans of coffee. The response was the same at some other stores. "We don't see any decrease in coffee and we've been keeping an eye on it," said James Strieker of Wegmans.

"Less than 10 people" have told me they switched from coffee lo tea." 'They're still buying coffee," said John Wade, operator of Wade's Market on Route 9C in Farming ton. Coffee sales leveled off right after Christmas, he noted, but have since picked up. However, people seem to be buying more i a coffee a ground co fee. Tha way he en make one cup a' time and the per-cup cost is less than ground coffee," Wade added. Naples Price At Preslon's IGA in Naples, the pcr-pound price for coffee is now $2.49.

"It's i but nol tremendously," said the lea- drinking operator of Ite store, George Preston. Preston said he hasn't i any increase or decrease in sales. "To be honest with you, I haven't paid that much attention lo it," he added. James Fletcher, manager of Vanlirooker's Red and White fin Canandaigua, said that last week coffee sales were 10 per cent lower than the previous week. And, Fletcher added, there has been a big increase in the number of coffee coupons (along with many other food coupons) being redeemed by customers.

Sales Stimulant Acme Food Market at Parkway Plaza in Canandaigua has been i "double turning in 40- ceni or 5fl-cenl coupons on, for a a House coffee, will have 80 cents or $1 taken off the purchase price For that reason, coffee sales at the slore have been good. However, a decrease is anticipated when the double coupon offer ends. One store thai reported an increase in coffee sales is Joe's Big a A ve nu Holcomb. "I'd estimate that coffee sales are up about 10 to 12 per cent," said a a Joe Frankovileh. Still Higher Costs "People are going out and buying coffee now because they keep hearing thai it's going lo go up to $4 a pound and they figure they should buy it now while it's low," he said.

Frankovitch also reported increases in tea and hot chocolate sales, Tea, he estimated, was up 25 per cent and hot chocolate sales have doubled. He said the high prices of coffee may have contributed to the lea and hot chocolate hikes. "This also could have been brought about by the weather outside," he added. "We a a higher hot chocolate and tea sales al this time of year."
