PAY INCREASES

Several weeks ago this paper car
ried news item sent out from Co
lumbus, relative to the increase in
pay of township trustees and clerks.

ship clerks and trustees, the bill
passed by the general assembly, re-
Gently adjourned, provides that the
"per diem to be paid township trus-
tees for their services will be in
creased from $3.50 to $3.50 for 100
days per year. And in townships
having a budget of from ten to
twenty thousand dollars, trustees
may draw compensation for 125
days, while those in townships with
a budget of $4,000 or over may be
paid for $50 days.
The maximum salary which truS-
tees may allow clerks in townships
with a budget of less than $4,000
has been increased from $3.50 per
year to $3.50 In townships with
budget of $4,000 or over, the clerk
shall receive two percent of the to-
tai expenditures of such township in
excess of $4,000, in addition to the
amount allowed by the trustees, but
in no event shall the combined to-
tai exceed $500 for any one year.
This bill becomes effective Sept 2,
1889, and will apply to all services
rendered on and after that date.

March," states the report. "As a re-
suit of the sharp rise in sales VOL
ume, the industry recorded gains
in operating results. Net income
of 80 leading producers was $l5,-
413,000, as compared with a loss
suffered by these companies
amounting to $3,623,00O in the
MarC.. quarter of 1888. Only three
minor operators remained in the
red in the first quarter of this
year.
indications are that combined
Canadian and domestic car and
truck production will total 975,0O0
units for the June quarter. This
would be 81 per cent larger than
the output in the second quarter
of last year, although it will be
somewhat below the figure OBJ
tanned in the preceding three-month
period.
Sales volume in prospect indi-
Gates that the automobile accessory
industry will recover good por-
ton of earning power demonstrated
prior to the 1937-l938 recession.
Price reductions granted to auto
mobile manufacturers have in most
cases, been limited to the amount
saved in material costs. Meanwhile
operating eficiencies maintained
during the last two years will bene-
fit profit margins"

In i. ). Corn Harvest
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 6.-Despite re-
duction in the acreage planted to
corn this year, estimates of six pri-
vate crop experts indicated yesterday
that probable production would ex-
coed last years harvest by 15,O6O,00
bushels.
Responsible for this were growing
conditions described as excellent
and an extensive increase in the use
of hybrid seed. which, agronomists
estimate, yields from 10 to 80 per
cent more than open-pollenated
corn.
The average of the six experts re-
ports placed corn production, based
on July l conditions, at 1851 900 900
bushels, compared with a harvest
last year of 2.542OOO 900 and the
l928-37 l0-year average of 2,3lO,-
100000 bushels.
The six estimates ranged from
2,518,000, 900 to 26O2 ,o78 900. Acreage
last year totaled 91,792.O0. The eX-
pert who made the highest estimate
in bushels placed this years acreage
at only 90,946 900.
