leave the Capital. Senator Rob-
inson'S death may bring Wash
ington to its sense. Business al
ways feels better when Congress
quits. especially the New Deal
Congresses of the past five years
which have passed so many laws
handicapping industry and trade.
Business men now know the rules
under which they can operate, at
least until next January.
BUILDING COSTS are easing
off. Since early Spring the home
construction Steamroller has been
slowing down, although activity
is still 25 per cent above a year
ago. A Is per cent jump since
last Summer has lifted building
costs to the highest level since
1920 1t has been the major
reason in retarding new building.
Now, with construction faltering,
coctS are backing off. Lower costs
will start the building spiral wind
ing again with a beneficial effect
on its 26 allied industries.
INVENTORIES are not worry
ing me despite the high industrial
production level since last Sep
tember. Shelves. which were be-
coming over-Stocked early in the
year. have been pruned back to
normal by fairly good retail sales
roughly 10 per cent above a year
ago.. With prospects of excellent
trade in the Fall, new orders will
soon be filtering back to manu-
featuring plants.
NEW INDUSTRIES are slowly
coming to the fore. Air-condi-
tioning has reached the state of
big business after it's busiest sea-
son on record. Aviation employ
ment is 65 per cent above the 1929
level. New glass, rubber, plastics,
and other chemical products are
forging ahead. Established COM
panieS in older industries are con-
Stantly discovering and marketing
new products, thus building up
sales volume and job and payroll
totals.
FOREIGN TRADE has made
great progress in the last year
Since last November, exports have
jumped 60 per cent and imports
40 per cent. The Administrations
efforts to lift world commerce
back to it's old level are finally
being rewarded. Foreign trade
while small in comparison to our
total business, is vitally important

overseas sale of merchandise

Fabric Plays An Important
Part In Construction OF
Clay-Asphalt Highway

Goldsboro, July 2l-W.G-Com-
pletion of one of the longest cot
ton roads" in the United States
will be celebrated here August 8
with opening OF the Faison- o, Clin-
ton highway. " 4
An elaborate program has been
arranged, according to reports
with state and federal officials
and travel bureau representatives
cooperating.
The road, according to w.
Vance Baise, chief highway engi-
neer, is the only project conduct
ed jointly by the state highway
commission and the federal bur-
eau of public roads to determine
usefulness of cotton fabric in sur
face treatment. 4
The road was divided into short
sections, each being paved" with
various weights Of the fabric for
testing purposes. <
The test will require approxi-
mately three years. If the idea
proves feasible, observers see in
it a vast new market for cotton
materials.
A specially-prerared sand-clay
base forms the foundation. On top
goes an application of tar prime.
After three days, to allow proper
saturation, the cotton fabric is
rolled down.
The fabric is sealed with Bit
luminous (asphalt) surface. APP

making trouble. The ridiculous
psychological fear of lower gold
price have disappeared for the
moment. World armament con-
tinues on apace, however, and
that means the sale abroad OF
millions of dollars of American
raw materials and munitions.
Right now Germany and Italy are
spending SO cents of every tax
dollar for ornaments; France, 81
cents: Russia and England, 2O
Gems; and the United States, l3
cents!
THE BASIC TREND Of business
is still upward. This is most I'M
portant of all. For five years
l93l-35 the nation produced
less than it consumed and built
less than it destroyed. One year
of + ,lative prosperity cannot make
up this deficiency. Expressions
come only when securities are
over-inflated, bank credit is over
expanded, inventories are over
stocked, productive capacity IS
over-built, and buildings and
homes are reconstructed. This
is NOT the case today. We have
now Just entered another period
of prosperity.
Get Set Now
Of course, there always is at
least one fly in the ointment. To-
day there is the fear of the event.
ual war brewing in Europe or the
Far East. There is the factor OF
profit margins diminishing. The
browbeating of the utilities and
the unbalanced budget keep busl-
ness men and investors uneasy over
the Administration.
Yet, despite these problems fac
ing us, believe that good business
this Autumn is inevitable. Hence,
my advice is to shape your Fall
plans now. Work out your factory
schedules. Check your raw ma
terial supplies and your inventor
les of finished goods. See that
you have plenty of labor reserves
on call. Fill your sales shelves.
Have your sales promotion plans
and your advertising campaigns
all set. The Fall of 1887 Should
Be The Best Business i'll Nine
years!

used in so doing during each OF
the last five years, and have made
computations as to the number OF
gallons of water pumped by one
killowatt of electricity, with the
following result: 43O.75 ga. per XIV
for the year ending March 31st,
1888; 395.O3 ga. for 1884; 394.29 ga.
for 1885; 392.61 ga. for 1886; 410.9O
ga. for 1887. These computations
are not set up in the records and
were not called to the attention of
the Commission.
This indicates that in 1933-34,
something happened which greatly
decreased the efficiency of the wa
ter system and that such condition
grew steadily worse until last year
when it was partially corrected. If
during the last year, the plant
had been as efficient as 1t was in
1928, the saving would have
been abovt $138. III would have
been more in prior years. The loss
during the whole term is probably
about $500 or more, although ]
have not figured it exactly.
Further, the above only checks
the efficiency of the system
against its own operation, from
year to year, and the Commission
has been informed that probably
even in 1888 or at the present time,
a great deal more electricity Is
used for pumping than should be
necessary. Whether this is a loss
of efficiency in the pumps or due
to leaks in the water mains, or
other unmetered water, If there is
such a loss, can only be determin-
ed by a trained engineer.
Electric rates in neighboring
communities have, or will shortly
be, lowered and Sank Centre must
fall in line. The public Is entitled
to rates as low as can be had and
still produce whatever moneys
may be necessary for other pur-
poses, so that it can have electric
stoves, water heat
ers, ETC., and all of the advantages
which go with cheap electricity.
We are told that if the rates are
cut, the use of electricity
increases and profits are not nee
essarily decreased, however, rate
is a complicated matter
and requires skilled and exper-
fenced ability and judgment. Here
again a trained engineer is neces-
sary for the best results.
Other changes are in prospect,

which We think require attention
A skilled man supervising the
plant would no doubt find many
other things which could be done
with profit.
Before employing this man, the
Commission will go to the place
where he is now working, and
fully investigate his suitability fol
the job. At this date some of the
Commission have been unable to
find time to make the trip.
Some things which will result In
savings and which require the
technical advice or skill Of q
trained engineer, are here SCI
forth
More than one year ago, The
Northern States Power Company
from which the City purchases
electric current, offered the City a
contract at lower rates and also ar
especially low rate for electricity
used for heating water. The rate
in this contract is such that If II
had been in effect during the fis-
cal year, which ended April LIST,
the City would have saved approx
imately $500
The present contract runs till
1912, but the new one would bind
the City until 1947 and gives the
Company the right to terminate
the agreement in 1912, if condi-
tions are not satisfactory to it. The
City would not have a reciprocal
right to terminate at that time.
Whether the new contract is ad-
vantageous to the City, is a hard
matter to determine. 1t depends
on answers to such things ass
the cost of electricity cheaper than
if the City manufactured its own
can the Diesel engines, owned by
the City, operate efficiently, and
how much would it cost to install
the additional engine or engines
required to carry the present load,
and how does the proposed rate
compare with that paid by other
cities, etc.
This contract is very important,
as a slight difference in the rate,
over a ten year period, will run in
to many thousands of dollars. The
Commission has no one to give
technical advice and it Is too COM
plicated and important to be pass
ed upon without the most careful
consideration and the advice Of
competent engineer.
Inasmuch as, if the offered con-
tract is a favorable one, and
should be signed, it represents a
saving Of $125 a month and, If it is
not favorable and should not be
signed, the finances of the plant
should be arranged so as to have
money on hand to purchase mach
inery to manufacture our own
electricity, the Commission is anx-
ious to dispose of this matter as
speedily as possible. The matter
represents a considerable possible
saving to the City, which saving
we may be losing at this time.

figures showing the number of gal
Ions of water pumped and the
number of killowatts of electricity
