RED TAPE BALKS
$50 SEWER

Because Of a ruling pertaining
to the purchase of land for the
United States Government, st.
Elizabeth's Hospital can not in
stall a much-needed sewer until
authorized by Congress to spend
the necessary $50 for the land
rights
Drainage from piggeries, COW
barns and several other buildings
on the east side of Nichols Av.
enue, has caused unSanitary con-
ditions for people living in the
neighborhood. Under the present
system the sewerage goes into
Stickfoot Creek.
The District Sewer Department
has completed a new line on Sher-
idan Road and has agreed to con.
meet the hospital sewer with the
city disposal system. To do this
would require that $50 be spent
to secure the land rights. But
this would be a violation Of the
laws governing the institution &C
cording to J. r. McCarl, Comp
troller General.
The item is now included in
the deficiency bill which will be
brought up in Congress and is

delinquencies in payment on outstand-
ing debts, While there are likely to be
no outstanding price reductions during
this year, on the other hand there will
probably be no sharp advances in the
price of automobiles to prospective buy
ers. This situation should be favorable
in enabling automobile companies to
market large numbers Of cars.
And Allied Industries.
Another factor in the automobile in
dustry which seems favorable for 1880
has to do with industries allied with
automobile manufacturing, which also
recently completed a very active year
and have entered 1890 with optimism.
Those concerns in the business of
manufacturing automobile parts and
accessories, as a group, showed a gain
in their 1899 prefits over the previous
year. The accessory industry, which has
grown rapidly along with the autemo-
bile business, has now become so large
and diversified that some of the lead
ing accessory concerns are said to be
now making more money than was true
OF some of the very largest automobile
manufacturing companies 10 years ago.
In connection with tire production,
IL is probable that Q new high record
was reached in 1899, with some co.
manufactured. The profits in this line
OF business have been good, although
somewhat handicapped by decline in
crude Fubher prices.
1t Is estimated that about IS per cent
more gasoline was consumed In the
United States in 1929 than in 1929.
While the oil industry has been suffer-
ing somewhat from overproduction, this
increase in the use Of gasoline is an
encouraging aspect, Since more and
more automobiles are being used and
since 81 tney az consume gasoline and oil
