FOR GENERAL ASPHALT
Building Slump and Fire at

The General Asphalt Company and
Its subsidiaries for the first six months
or the current year report a loss in
trading account of s579,174, to which
is added S332.3S3 arbitrary deprecia-
ton charges, making a deficit for the
period of S911.557, of which $7S1,196
accumulated in the first quarter.
The combined balance sheet as of
June 80 shows current assets OF s7.772.-
93S. inclding S4.356.907 inventory and

S2.105,430, including s1,925.000 notes
payable, S523.37S accounts payable and
S24S.051 reserved for income taxes.
An official statement to the stockhold-
ers of the company said in part:
'"The decrease in these sales was due
to cessation of building operations and
the consequent slump in the use of
roofings; to the company's inability
to manufacture saturated flooring felts
since the destruction of its Maurer
plant by fire last September: to the
absorbing of differentials in freight on
shipments from the company's Madison,
ILL.,. plant while rebuilding at Maurer.
and to continuing unpnoductive over
head charges at the latter while re-
building
with the completion OF It's new roof
ing plant at Maurer, the company will
be in a much stronger position from a
competitive point of view, and hopes
that during the remainder of this year
