w. E. Council Urges
 The Fall Riuer Plan
Community Development Committee Report Cites That
 City's Record as Outstanding Example

Fall River" tho council statement said. Since 1881, Fall River has reduced valuations 26 per cent. while increasing the tax rate only about Il per cent. During the same period experts from outside the city made surveys of all muni- cipal departments. A reduction of over a million dollars in municipal expenditures has been achieved by carrying out recommendation re- sulting from these surveys by ex- perts.
 "Examples of the way in which expenses were reduced are the partial motorization of the police force; decrease in the personnel of the fire department following Q study by the National Board of Underwriters; and establishment of q municiual commissary, with q saving of 90 per cent in the cost of food supplied to welfare cases
 Beside the actual decrease ir tho annual budget. the debt of the city of Fall River has been slightly reduced, at time when most other cities are increasing their muni. cipal debt.
 "Thero is greater need today than ever before, for viligance and careful scrutiny of budget" the statement declares. "The great danger is that the grants of money made by state and federal govern. ments will give those in charge of municipal affairs the feeling that further economies are unnec essary At present government expendi- lures are rising, and complaints against dising taxes will be heard more than ever unless all waste and deadwood are eliminated.
 Fall River has found the cos, of its board of finance very small in comparison with the savings the board effects. Other New Englan cities and towns would be wise tc follow its example by enlisting dis. interested, expert assistance ir their municlual problems

Corn Refining Sets
Record In November

November operations of corn re-
finers have been at the heaviest
rate in the history Of the industry,
according to the Corn Industries
Research Foundation, the grind
for the month approximately
100000 bushels, a step-up Of more
than so per cent above normal for
this period.
This unusual activity reflects a
general move on the part of users
of starches, syrups, sugars, dex-
trines and other corn derivatives
to anticipate the processing tax
on products of corn which will
shortly become effective, the Foun-
dation said.
Refining operations in Decem-
ber will be on reduced schedules
largely for restocking purposes.

Fortnight of Backing
And Filling Ahead

I do not think that the action
of "the rails" has any special
technical significance at present.
Like the utilities" they merely
do not stand to benefit by dollar
depreciation. They might well
go down while initiation stocks
rise sharply. The Dow theory"
concerning "the rails" as confirm.
ing industrials may work all
right in normal times, but has
no logical bearing now.
Mark-DOw4 Resumed
The Government has resumed
its policy Of marking dollars down
in exchange for gold. At this
writing, however, the Tue d a y
and Wednesday gold prices have
aroused no enthusiasm.
Wall Street seems to suspect
that they are just steps taken
to check the decline in wheat
and cotton prices. Commodities
rallied a little and Government
bonds sagged again, but no one
seems to have any conviction
that the policy will be carried
through.
About the size Of it seems to
be this: When the monetary
depreciation stimulus wanes,
farm prices fall. Then the dol
lar is marked down another notch
in exchange for gold, and wheat
and cotton rally. Then Govern
ment credit sIumpS. Then we are
given q few days Of "staDiIiza-
tiOn," and the Treasury buys
some Of its own bonds.
Then the process is renewed.
But it is to be noted that each
week we find lower Government
valuations for the dollar (higher
paper prices" for gold, and a
thin and shaky market for Gov
ernment bonds. This cannot be
kept up indefinitely.
Three Alternatives Seen
Some day we will have to- do
one Of three things Cd revalue
the dollar at the old level, or (2)
revalue the dollar at some low
level, or 90 plunge into paper
currency expansion without any
revaluation or any definite base
or standard.
Since the first of these courses
seems out Of the question, and
since either one Of the other two
would unquestionably be taken
with an aim to raising prices,
can see no other conclusion than
that the so-called initiation stocks
df sound and making good earn
ingS) should be held and be
bought on recessions.
