GOVERNMENT SURPLUS
PROPERTY IS news TO
BUSINESSMEN

CHICAGO, July II (ANP) =
NEGRO businessmen are missing
an opportunity to get surplus gov
ernment supplies for use in their
business.
That statement was issued by
Negro Business magazine, a pub
lication devoted to furthering Ne
gro business, following a recent
survey. Of approximately 500 Ne
gro business men interviewed, so
per cent were unaware that the
government, through the War AS
sets administration, had any kind
of merchandise for sale.
Six percent reported that they
did not know the procedure in OBJ
tanning surplus government prop
erty. Five per cent of those polled
by Negro Business were of the
opinion that only large concerns
cOuld purchase surplus items,
which include real estate, office
supplies, clothing and numerous
other commodities at reduced
prices.
Twelve per cent of the business
men were quite enthused over the
prospect of getting some type of
equipment for their business.
Statistical tabulations indicated
that the remainder group were not
interested. Because of the large
number of business men still un-
informed about surplus property
sales, Negro Business magazine,
published at 3104 South Michigan
avenue here, has assigned special
assistant to answer mail inquiries.

Initiation Trend
Blamed On US.
By Senator Taft
lny AssacIares P-csa ]

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The
OPA bill is due to come up on
the senate floor for debate on
Monday, and Senator Taft of
Ohio announced today that he is
prepared to fight the bill.
6 He declared that while the
government is crying out that the
killing of OPA will result in in
flation, the government itself is
to blame chiefly for any tendency
toward initiation, because of its
careless and extravagant buying,
regardless of prices.
Mainly because of that type of
buying by the government, Taft
asserted, the deficit next year
will range between 10 and II
billion dollars.
He maintained that the Presi-
dent did not understand the basic
economic reason for the disrup-
ton of prices, and that while he
preached economy for the public
the government was continuing
its spending spree, which was in
flationary in its tendency.

Lower Millage Seen
In Tax Budget Here
COUNTY BOARD WILL
ANNOUNCE FIGURES
FOR FISCAL YEAR ON
TUESDAY

County commissioners, at a
meeting next Tuesday evening,
will announce their tentative
budget for this fiscal year.
Tentative millage will be set
and, as the assessments this year
are the highest in the history of
the county, more than $4,000 900
in excess of last year, which itself
set a record, it is expected the
millage will be lower than the
present nine mills.
Willard M. Albury, superinten-
dent of public instruction, said
that, under the law, he has until
Aug. / to make up the school
budget and decide on the millage,
but that the school board will
have the budget and millage pre-
pared before that date.
At present the school millage
is 1912, or total of 1872 for, pub
lie schools and the maintenance
and operation of the county.

Oswald Moseley during the war.

One newspaper said that the
charge is the most serious" re-

Cost Is Set At 100000

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 6.
--lDNS)-Estimated cost of COM
pletely electrifying Monroe coun-
ty rural areas has been set at
$l02, 900 provided the job is done
under Rural Identification adj
ministration standards, it was
learned today.
Surveys of number of prospec-
tive consumers still to be electri-
fled in Monroe county have been
based upon REA experience in
the state. The estimate is ex-
elusive of the cost of installation
of appliances and wiring in
homes.
While the planning commit
tees data are admittedly not
completely up-to-date, it was
pointed out that increased con-
struction costs more than coun-
ter-balance any decrease in the
number of rural Units not cleo
trified.
REA has been given $3.50, 00O,-
900 which became available July
| to continue its program, goal
of which is identification of all

"Eighty-five percent of the
OPA prices allowed retailers a
fair profit" Mr.. Albury added,
"but in the other cases the mar
