The broad answer to the first question is that the money will be used in the three departments to try to keep pace with the city's growth. More correctly, it will try to many needs which piled up during the years of war paralysis, and then to keep up with needs for the next 12 years. Alternatives Given If the bonds are defeated, one of two courses will have to be chosen. If the urgently needed Improvements are made, the money, will have to come from taxation. Thnt would mean a very largo Increase in city tnxos.

Unless that'was dona, the Improvements simply could hot- be made. The city would not have the money to provide water, sow- ago nnd electric services for the now hounofi Hint mlMrit bo hulll--- Including tha Hovornl hundred now under construction, It could not extend these services to new areas which might be taken into the city some which have been brought In lately, Improvements Planned But let's look at the improvements planned if the bonds are approved, bearing in mind that $2,313,000 of the money will be used for the water department, $426,000 for -sanitary sewage extensions, and $2,185,000 for the electric plant, The water department ffrst; I Broadly speaking, all these improvements will be in'the design to insure, first, an abundant water supply and, secondly, to get' the water to the customer. About half of the money will be used for the second of those purposes. Large Water Mains Planned To distribute the water properly, many large mains will have to be laid. Some will be 30 inches 'in diameter.

From these, smaller mains will branch out, and from these, still smaller ones, all combining into a vast citywide network. i One of the big contributing reasons for water shortages in many portions of the city in the past has been the fact that the pipe is too small to carry the water that some residential sections require. No matter how abundant the city's water supply might be, those sections aren't going to get enough (Turn to Page 10, Column 3, Please' I), Rubber Co, Announces Increase In Price Of Tires NEW YORK, Nov. 27 United States Rubber Co. announced today an Increase in prices of its passenger car, truck, farm tractor and implement tires, effective immediately.

The Californian, a member 'of the tax-writing House Ways and Means committee, told newsmen the plan "would be of greatest benefit to the poor man" and that per cent of business executives polled had approved it.

Here's the kind of! tax low Gcarhart wants: 1. Raise the exemption of single persons from the present $500 to $1,000 and of married men from $500 to $2,000, with the exemption for each of the taxpayer's remaining at $500. Then cut back the l.nx rale HO that the top l.nko from any taxable Income would he 50 per cent, instead o'f the present 86 per cent on the highest bracket income.

Impose a 10 per cent manufacturers excise levy, the tax to apply us any product leaves the manufacturer to go into commerce, Food and shelter would bo exempted.

Gcarhart said this would pick up $8,700,000,000 of revenue, Thus Ihe overall revenue loss would be about $3,000,000,000.
