THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1954 BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS tAOEFIVB Early Estimates Show Industrial Output in March. Down 9 Per Cent WASHINGTON (AP) The President's economic visers reported today that preliminary estimates show industrial production declined slightly in March, to a point about 9 per cent less than a year before. The slight further drop in production, continuing trend that set in last August, brought the Federal Reserve Board's index of industrial production, seasonally adjusted, to 1-23. the White House Council of Economic Advisers said. That meant that production of tfee nation's mines and factories in March was 23 per cent more than the average of production in the three years 1947 through 1949.

This month's index figure came out in the Council's monthly coec- t-ion of economic indicators prepared for the Joint Congressiona Committee on the Economic Report. This report did not give production without seasonal adjustment. The economic advisers also reported that the gross national product the total dollar value of the nation's production of all goods and the first of this year dropped off to an estimated rate of 359 billion dollars a year.

Total output was about five billion dollars, or 1.3 per cent, less than the annual rate in the first quarter of 1953, a year ago.

The Council said the March decline in output was due to a further reduction in the output of durable goods. Almost the entire production decline since mid-1953 has been concentrated in manufacturing, and there in durable goods production. The decline to an index df 123 in March brought production 14 points, or 10.2 per cent, under the high of 137 reached in July of last year. The Council's report gave revised estimates on production in January and February, placing the index of factory and mine output in those months at 125 and 124 respectively. With the further one- point decline in March, this indicated a three-month slowdown in the production fell from an index of 173 in July to 136 in August, then dropped off three points to 133 in September, went to 32 in October, then took three point drops to 129 and 126 in November and December.

SEWER (Continued from Page 1) operating the sewer system. The average monthly water consumption of commercial and industrial users would be re-figured every five years and rate groups adjusted accordingly. It is water consumption that charges for commercial and industrial users are based on. This recomputation also could be done by the commission at the user's request. Some large users of water here have objected that most of the water they use is removed by storm in the case of bottling firms, for hence the charges for their rate group are too high.

Adjusting unusual cases like this would be a matter to take before the sewer commission. ONLY REVENUE from operation of the sewer sewer be used to retire the $850.000 bond issue. These bonds would be what are called "specific obligations" of the city since the revenue to retire them comes from a specified source and not from the city's general income. Operating costs of the new system have been estimated at $23,400 a year, including employes' pay, power bills, maintenance, etc. The city would be able to issue additional bonds for sewer improvements or extensions.

However, the city would first have to show that revenue for the previous two years had been enough to pay all costs and still leave in reserve an amount equal to one and one-half times the greatest payment, that would come due in any year. This reserve requirement amounts to a person having a "nest egg" in the bank to prevent his going "over his head" in debt. When would all these provisions go into effect? Even after passage by the City Council and approval by the voters, these provisions still would not become effective until the bonds were actually sold. And the sewer charges would not go into effept until even months after the bonds are sold. The peanut also is known as earth nut, goober.

These profits, which Capehart estimated might total a half billion dollars, came from FHA- insured loans far greater than the actual cost of building an apartment house. He said thnt by various kinds of financial manipulation the builder could pocket the difference between the loan and his building costs. NEED YOUR FLOOR COVERED? $1,50 sq. yd. Sid.
