the postwar period was 1876 in

ECONOMISTS DENY THAT LADINC
COSTS ARE INFLUENCING PRICES

CHICAGO, April 3.-Cost of haul
ing freight in the United States
has undergone little change in the
last 40 years, according to a survey
just completed by the Research
Council of the National Transports
tion Institute, comparing freight
rates with wholesale prices since
1867. While the costs of basic
commodities have undergone wide
fluctuations, the survey points out
the cost of freight transportation
has logged along close to the base
level, apparently having little effect
on prices or on the changes in the
industrial costs.
Prices in the United States have
gone through two major movements
in the last 55 years." the survey
discloses. From the late sixties
to 1897 the trend of prices was
steadily downward, with the excep-
tion of brief rallies in 1872, 1880,
1883 and 1898 After the 1921 de
preston prices rose until April OF
1924 stands somewhat above the
price level OF 1870
"From 1887 to 1897 freight rates
and prices fell together. Freight
remained at the Adepression level
until 1917, a perl of 20 years
while prices werl ising. When

PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC co
TO DEVELOP POWER PLANT
AT CONOwINGO

The Philadelphia Electric Com
pany probably will own outright the
new company that will develop the
hydroelectric power site on the Sus-
quehanna River, at Conowingo. Md
The power company is controlled
by the United Gas and Electric Com
pany and owns exclusive water rights
on both sides of the Susquehanna
River for distance of slightly more
than fifteen miles.
Plans had been completed by the
Susquehanna company for plant Of
100000 horsepower capacity. These
have been changed by Philadelphia
Electric engineers to provide for o
plant with an ultimate capacity of
100000 horsepower, and at cost
that will exceed 50,000,000
Actual details of the method of
financing the new company are ex-
pected to be announced in the near
future.
Engineers express the opinion that
numerous electric light and power
companies now operating in Southern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland will avail themselves
Of the opportunity, of augmenting
their present sources of current with
the cheap power developed by the
waters of the Susquehanna.
The decision reached by the Phila-
delphia Electric Company to embark
in the hydro-electric field on a large
scale will place it foremost among
the power companies of the United
States.

Of the Stepney section Of the Phila-

the Little Construction Company to
stop work this week, according to the
statement of one Of the Company's
employees. The Little Company had
been awarded the contract for COM
pleting the uncompleted section OF

Mr.. Mackall's action was announc-
ed to Mr.. Parker Mitchell and Col.
M. e. Tydings representing the Per-
ryman citizens and President Hoen.
of the Philadelphia Road Improve
ment Association, following their
plea that Perryman be given good
connecting road with the Philadel-
phia Road.
Mr.. Mitchell was named as COM
mittee by q recent citizens meeting
in Perryman, to represent Perryman
needs with the State Roads Commits
sion. As outlined by resident OF
Perryman, that community does not
object to either of the two proposed
routes Of crossing the B. & o. rail-
road as suggested by Mr.. Mackal.
but they do strongly ask the County
Commissioners or State Roads Com
missioner to provide Perryman with
good connection to the newly i'm
proved highway, or not close the con-
nection over Johns Crossing they
now have.
Chairman Mackall's action has
aroused no little disappointment and
indignation on the part of the resi-
dents of Stepney, Perryman, Aber-
deem and other communities who will
largely benefit by the improved
road.-Aberdeen Enterprise.
