Can DEFINING
Plants Planned

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Some
~ 900 tons of tin will be recovered
from the treatment of discarded
tin cans in the United States
under a program for construction
of defining plants decided upon
by the Office of Production Man.
lagement, IL has been reported by
Daily Metal Trade.
Metal and Thermite Corporation
and Vulcan DEFINING Company
will build the plants near six large
cities and there is a possibility
that the government will subsidize
the company in some way or buy
the recovered tin direct and resell
| IL 10 consumers. Steel manufac-
tturers also are giving considera-
ton 10 using the detinned cans for
scrap, il was said.
Operation of the defining
plants will be in conjunction with
tin conservation program in
which housewives will be asked
to cooperate by saving empty
containers and depositing them at
some nearby collection point. On
April 10, 1871, a committee of the
National Academy of Sciences
estimated that about 10000 tons
of tin could be recovered annually
Il from used tin cans.

Curfailed Service

Aside from these additions to
equipment, the load late this year
can be handled. if the need be-
comes great enough, by with
drawal Of buses from streets now
having both street cars and buses
in operation. Woodward avenue
and Grand River are typical ex-
amples.
Another expedient. already be-
ing used in some places, will be to
secure the cooperation of manu-
featuring concerns in staggering
the hours when men start and stop
work. Whereas the morning peak
now may be from 6 to 8 o'clock
on some lines it might, through
cooperation of the factories. be
spread over a longer period. The
evening rush could be similarly
handled.
Another step that could be taken
would be change in the hours
during which the downtown stores
and offices are open for business.
This, too, would help to disperse
the normal peak travel hours, al
though 1t is regarded only as a
possibility rather than a proba-
bDity.

half OF this sum would be repre-
sented by armament production.

gave us a clue as to what we can
expect in the way of civilian goods

of the national income, or about
500, 900 900, 900, compares with a
national income of $4,000, 900 900
in 1892, practically all of which
was created by the production of
civilian goods and services.
However. prices today are As
per cent above those in the deep
depression year, and after adjust
ment for this factor our indicated
income from civilian goods produc-
ton in the 1913 year shrinks to
only S34, 900, 900, 900 in terms of
1882 prices. The year 1882 was
bad enough, but IL the Presidents
figures work out. we can expect
production of non-militaIy goods
in the next fiscal year at least Is
per cent under that at the worst
of our greatest depression.

Tools .
Produced in Year

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-From a
production valued at 500, 900, 900
i'm 1882, machine tool plants
jumped their volume 10 $500, 000,-
900 in 1899. They more than
doubled that the following year
and are estimated to have pro-
|duced S750, 100000 worth of tools
In 1871.
The machine plants built in the
last two years alone have the ca
pacity to turn out as much work
as all the machine tools in exist
ence In this country at the end
of 1889. The average new machine
produced by the tooling industry
Is three times as productive as the
machine in use less than two
years ago.

DSR Has Problem,

An example Is the Department
OF Street Railways which, without
much prospect Of being able to
secure ample new equipment. faces
late this year a possible 100 per
cent increase In the number OF
persons using street cars and
buses. This may occur. in the
opinion of DSR officials, II tire
shortages and rationing of gaso-
line compel workers and shoppers
TO use DSR facilities and leave
their automobiles at home.

trated In a couple of hours morn

point out, however. that whereas
the riding public may be incon-
venienced, the system through
various expedients can cope with
the emergency.
First step which the DSR Is TAX

Two Main Problems

The two problems OF greatest
immediate concern to the city ad-
ministration are welfare costs and
the demand of city employees for
wage and salary increases.
Despite assurances from Wash
ington that WPA projects will be
expedited to relieve the unemploy-
ment crisis that will develop with
cessation of automobile production
this winter, when it is estimated
that 10000 workers will be
thrown out of jobs for a few
months, the Detroit welfare load
will be far higher than was an
ticipated only three months ago.
Then ii was predicted that unem-
ployment this winter might range
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Detroit also is faced with de-
mands by both Go and AFL
unions for wage increases for mu-
nicipal workers TO keep pace with
rising living costs. Already some

Wars Impact on City of Detroit
May Bring Higher Property Tax

The impact Of the Second World
War is bound to make itself felt
on the pocketbook of every tax
aver In the City of Detroit.
However. the picture is not
without its bright side and we can
get some consolation out of the
fact that to many other American
cities the war presents an even
greater problem.
But Detroiters have become
hardened to tough knocks and
have learned TO roll with the
punches and come up fighting
harder than ever; so let's get the
bad news out Of the way first.
Under the heading of additions
to the budget-potential or other
wise-come the following:
PAY increases for city en-
i ployes.
C-Increased prices for materials
- purchased.
3-Hisher debt service charges.
1-And other miscellaneous ex-
Il penses.
penses.
Estimates Of the probable In
crease In the budget range from
a little more than 100000 to
and outside Of SIG, 900.
Increases in Taxes
And to the taxpayer with a
5000 home, that means an in
crease in taxes of from S12 toI
$48 per year.
However, according to a study
by the Detroit Bureau of Govern
mental Research. there is a posi-.
bility that the city's assessed
valuation may be increased by
about Sos, 900, 900, which would
Tighten the load somewhat.
Also on the bright side of the
ledger is the fact that in two
years the city's operating deficit
has been slashed S7,10O, 900.
Perhaps the best break De-
trpiters get Is the fact that we
e already "over-expanded" and
we now will actually get
some return on our excuses OF
the boom days.
Cities which did not expand in
the 20's, as Detroit did, and which,
now are going into a war boom
find themselves hard put 10 pay
for sewers. paving. water and
lighting facilities which Detroit
installed over a decade ago. In
general this city Is quite well
situated as regards such capital

negotiations have taken place and
although no definite decisions have
been reached, II Is unlikely tina,
the matter can be long delayed
Impetus to the unions demands Il
expected to result from the AFLi
victory in its four day strike Of
$50 Highland Park city employees
Settlement with that municipality
included a union contract and
wage increases OF 10 cents an hour
for all workers earning $1,000 OF
less, and s cents an hour for those
earning in excess Of 81. 600. The
AFL also recently executed con.
tract with Hamtramck which EN-.
bodied wage gains.
The current years budget die
not contemplate these additional
Expenses and. to the extent that
they would increase costs during
the current six months, they would
make impossible the 3 to a million
dollar reduction in operating de-
felt that originally was contem.
plated. Other higher costs already
have eliminated a large share OF
this reduction as a possibility and
should substantial wage and well
fare expenses become necessary
the city may end the current year
on June 80 with a deficit approx
mately unchanged from the SOS
millions at June 80, 1941.
Aside from financial problems
in the coming year, various city
departments may have to adjust
their operations drastically to con-
form TO a war economy.
