portant one of these questions
will have to do with the bear
ing of state laws upon projects
| for which the government is
asked to allot money.
LAS to the mourning of new
debt by governmental units, you
must consider that in connection
with the expenditures for relief.
A town has to include in its tax
levy a certain amount for the
relief of the unemployed-for
food and clothing and shelter for
people who are destitute. AL
though unemployment is not as
serious as it was, but for this
public works program appropria-
tions for relief would have to
be continued. The chief object
of the public works program is
to create empfoyment-to give
jobs to people who need them.
The public works program takes
the place of the expenditures of
public money for relief. There
fore, when town adds to its
tax rate on account of a debt in
Cured for financing it's 70 per
cent share of public works
project, this is a substitute for
the addition to the tax rate that
now has to be made for relief.
"The government has laid
down this rule, that any project
for which it makes a grant of
money must be sound. 1t must
meet a genuine need. There is
no doubt whatever that many
communities in North Carolina
are in need of improvements,
such as water works, sewers,
and sewage disposal plants.
For example, / know of a small
city that has been depending
upon wells for it's water supply.
These wells are no longer ade-
quate even in periods Of normal
rainfall, and when a drought
comes they pretty nearly dry
up. The city is in what may be
truly called a desperate situa-
ton. That is the kind Of situa-
ton that Ats exactly into the
governments public works pro-
gram"
After a preliminary survey
Mr.. Baity has prepared a list of
projects-in counties, municipal
tiles, and sanitary districts --
which call for an expenditure
of approximately $10,OO0,0oo.
These have not been examined
one by one in detail, and OF
course there are some OF them
which NAV be found not to fulfill
the government requirements
and there are some which the
communities concerned may not
fee! able to undertake.
Precedence will be given by
! the government to self-liquidat-
ing enterprises. A typical ex-
ample is a water supply system,
or the extension Of present
system for the purpose OF in
creasing the number Of consum-
ers. The water rentals Will
bring in steady revenue which
will cover the interest and in
stallments on the debt. A sew
age system, with users paying
regular rentals, comes within
the same classification.
New school buildings and ad-
ditions to school buildings may
be embraced in the public works
program. Under the present

the cause of constant mourning
since the depression set in four
years ago. Governor Gardner
and Governor Ehringhaus and
Revenue Commissioner Maxwell,
and other state officials, and leg
islators, and bankers, and mer-
chants, and editors, have held
this debt mainly responsible for
the growing deficits which have
forced the state and counties and
municipalities to curtail educa-
tion and other essential services.
More than a hundred govern
mental units in this state are to-
day in default on their bonds
on the interest or principal, or
both.
In view of this situation, it
will not be surprising if counties
and towns are slew about asking
for a federal grant that will re-
quire them to add to their debt.
True, the government offers
to accommodate them with loans
covering the remaining 70 per
cent; and on easy terms-an in
terest rate of a per cent and a
long period for maturity. But
a debt to the government is a
debt just the same. Taxes have
to be levied for the interest and
the installments on the principal.
Then there are the statutes of
North Carolina relating to the
finances Of counties, municipal
tiles, and districts. The local
government finance act puts a
stiff curb upon all governmental
units within the states. 1t pro-
hibits them from mourning
debts without the approval OF
the local government commits
sion in Raleigh, and it stipu-
lates that bond issues for prof.
ects Of major Importance must
be submitted to a vote Of the
people.
When | called upon Mr.. Baity
yesterday | put this question to
him:
Suppose this case: some
county or city has need OF a
water works plant, or a sewage
disposal plant, or an incinerator,
or some other improvement, and
wants to finance it under your
federal aid plan. After a thor
ough investigation, you and the
advisory committee decide that
it is a sound and useful project.
But this county or city is already
in default on its bonds. What
then?
1.-THE public works section OF
the National Industrial Recovery
Act" replied Mr.. Baity, pro
yides that when a governmental
unit cannot finance it's share OF
a project by the issuance OF
bonds, the federal government
may do the job itself, take title
to the project, and lease it to
the governmental unit at a
rental which will amortize the
cost in period of years.

emergency clause in the act is
frequently invoked.

CHICAGO, April 8-The mems re-
tail clothing industry has found that
its efforts to curb operating expenses
during 1882 were, on the whole, futile"
A survey by the National Association
Of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers,
made public today, says apparel stores
were unable to check mounting costs,
even when the most drastic cuts were
made in more flexible items"
Such constant factors of selling ex-
pense as rent, light and heat, taxes and
insurance, are listed as major reasons
why retailers efforts to bring overhead
into line with reduced volume were
unsuccessful.
Cost Factors Rise.
/, AS sales volume continued to decline,
were found to rise.
Average operating expenses Of stores
with yearly volume of less than $780,
600. 1t was found, mounted steadily from
1925 per cent of gross sales in 1929 to
3618 per cent in 1892.
For stores having an annual volume
of more than 100000, operating ex-
pense in that same four-year period was
found to have jumped from 31.35 to
38 ~ per cent Of gross sales.
Comparatively little change was
noted, however, in the percentage of
gross profit. In smaller stores it aver
aged 3l.88 per cent for 1882, and 33.46
fer stores having a volume in excess of
100000. Both these figures represented
cnly slight declines from 1929 per-
centages.
Despite hand-to-mouth buying" the
survey says, turnover declined during
1882 in practically all departments and
in both the larger and smaller stores.
This slowing down was noted particu-
larly among the smaller group"
Rent Item.
Selling salaries increased sharply"
IN both groups of stores from 1881 to
1882, it was found, with an average rise
from TIT to 1858 per cent of gross sales
IL smaller stores, and from 7.67 to 9.65
per cent In larger stores.
The percentage of gross sales paid for
rent was found to have remained un-
changed at SOC during the last two
years for the average small store, and
to have increased from 5.4 to 6.25 for
the average store with volume over
100000.

BOSTON, April 8.-In an analysis Of
trends of the 60 leading industries of the
country, the United Business Service
concludes that in 80 important lines
volumes are running close to a year ago,
indicating definite resistance to further
deflation. The firmness Of the trends
in these industries shows the beneficial
effects of the courageous adjustments
that have been made in operating and
overhead costs.
The 80 industries with stable trends
follow: Aircraft, apparel. automobiles,
baking. bread; baking speciality; can
ming, chain stores, chemicals, cigarettes,
coal, anthracite; coal. bituminous; cot
ton goods, dairy products, electric light
and power, -four milling, leather, lum-

tailed more and more as prices have

many producers have shut down-others

Such condition never remains long.

the same bonds started fractionally

There was some irregularity in other

these followed the trend of the national

foreign department was an advance to
new high prices of the year in Japanese

In the domestic list there was con-

Losses this week are quite uniformly
