At the close of legislative period and

in which that work has been done. ] take
this opportunity also to express the hope
that the incoming Council may find its
ways into the solution of the numerous
perplexing problems with which it will
no doubt be confronted.
The legislative and the administrative
branches are both charged with the con-
structive leadership of the Municipality.
While independent yet both branches are
dependent, each on the other. Neither
can effectively function without the sup
port of the other.

ly been accomplished and take forward
look at what is to be done by the Council
and the Administration.
New stone and concrete quarters have
been built on Signal Hill at cost of
Sc. 500.
A new engine has been installed at the
pumping station which will cut operat-
ing costs about 500. Cost 1887.
A long needed and much desired fire
engine has been purchased and delivered.
Cost 81, 429 16.
Major repairs have been made of prac-
tically all public buildings. Municipal and
Federal. IL items amounting to $54. IT'S.
All schools houses have been repaired,
or renewed. Madison, Monroe and
Franklin have new stone buildings with
additional room. Dober School, new con-
crete building with nearly triple the
space for pupils, is nearing completion.
9 buildings amounting to $28, 445.
The Field has been much improved
Over 600 yards of streets 10 the City
of St. Thomas. have been built and many
more been improved.

butter. etc have been distributed in this
Municipality.
The Cooperative has reduced its loan
from the Municipality from $4,000 to
$780, has greatly increased its
output.

CHAIN STORES
OBSERVE LAW,
! BOARD HOLDS
No! M9nopoIistic, Trade
Commission Says After
6-Year Probe.
BgUnited Press

81 tnffed Prcss
p WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Chain
4. stores. although enjoying a strong
competitive advantage over indie
pendents because Of lower operating
costs, are not violating Federal anti
trust laws. the Federal Trade Com
mission informed the Senate today
after a six-year investigation.
. The commission, in another re-
port within a few days, is expected,
however. to recommend new legisla-
ton to meet the chain store situa-
ton, probably through amendments
TO the Clayton and Sherman Anti
Trust Laws and the Federal Trade
Commission act.
As far as agreements, conspira-
cies or combinations in restraint Of
trade among chain stores them
selves are concerned" the report
said, the inquiry has failed to dis
close any such practices"
Corrective Laws Urged
A similar situation. in the COM
missions opinion, exists among CO.
operative chain store groups. which
have resulted from competition with
independents by regular chain sys-
TENS.
Court decisions, the report pointed
out, have narrowed anti-monopoly
provisions of the Sherman Law down
TO mean only actual monopoly in
stead Of potential power to monop-
Ollie.
The situation" the report con-
tinued. may call for reconsidera-
ton by Congress of the public pol
icy involved in the monopoly section
Of the Sherman Law"
AmenabIe Factors Listed
Factors in the low-selling prices
by chain stores, which the commits
sion said were "amenable' to gov
eminent regulation, include:
Use of loss leader sales be-
low actual cost.
2-DiScounts on large quantity
purchases and discounts on news
paper advertising.
Extraordinary measures, the COM
mission added, would be required to
regulate:
1. Less service provided by chains
to customers than by independents
2. Indicated lower wages paid by
some chains in certain localities.
g. The question of chain store
purchases of especially manufac-
, tured brand merchandise compared
with standard brands.
4. The every important advantage"
Of chain systems to average profit
results from all localities, thus off
setting losses in others.
Chains Gaining Faster
In 1929. the report showed, there
were 1.543158 retail stores in the
, nation with total sales of $49,114,-
653, 1853. OF these, there were 7061
chain store systems operating 1883
stores with total sales of s1O.74O,-
1886 .2O8.
Although chain stores operated
around 10 per cent of the total
number of stores they obtained 20
cents of every dollar spent by GUS
toners in retail stores.
Competition, the commission said.
among chain stores themselves and
with independents precludes posi-
biiities of monouolistic practices.
The report showed chain stores are
increasing faster than independents.
It said new openings of both types
were about the same. but the clos
ing rate of independents nearly
qnaled the opening, while only one
chain store closed Cor every four
lthat opened.

Mr.. Delano have held a number of
conferences on the subject with Ickes,
Settle revealed.
Senator King attended yesterdays
meeting of the commission and ex-
pressed himself as being in agreement
with the program of rearranging the

of proposed rearrangement of the

was impressed with the possibilities
and instructed Partridge to prepare

then, if approved by the city heads,
