coffee at the rate of % million

tries were producing IS million
bags a year. There was a big
surplus. more coffee in supply
than in demand, and the result
was-low prices.
Now its just the other way
round. World consumption of
coffee today Is at the rate Of
about "a million bags a year.
Production is at the rate of 20
million bags. Demand is rum
ming ahead Of supply. Even
the SURPRISES that had been
stored away in good crop years
are being rapidly exhausted.
Il just so happened that the
people of the world acquired
new and bigger appetite for cof-
fee az the very time when Mother
Nature was doing her best to
wreck the coffee crop.
The crop harvested in Brazil
this year was planted in 1948-a
year Of severe drought. This |
year. a combination Of drought |
and severe cold has played havoc |
with yield of Is million bags. And !
the Brazilian output will be !,
ten million bags under par in
1851.
Some Relief In Sight
It's the same story in Guate-
mals. except that the crop dam
age resulted from floods. Normal

one million bags of coffee a year.
That's not very much, but Guate-

A special congressional submit.
with the cooperation of city Of
ficiaIs. will delve deeper into the
Districts construction needs and
probable revenues following q
joint House Senate District Sub
committee meeting yesterday on a
long-range capital improvement
program.
A tentative plan. submitted by
District officials. suggested a five-
year $50, ,000. 900 program to begin
with the 1851 fiscal year and max
ing use, for permanent improve
ments, of revenues expected to ex-
coed the cost of the normal opera
ton of the District government.
No Specific Program
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young pointed out that a pro-
gram based on about 81. 1000. 900 q
year for five years "is not unrea-
sonable."
Available revenues may exceed
the conservative estimate of the
city budget Office If. for example.
the sales tax yields are greater
than expected or a period of de-
Ginning prices sets In, permitting
the District to save money on op-
Grating expenses and construction
work. he noted.
Gen. Young said that no specific
and itemized program has been
approved by the Commissioners.
He said. however. he knew the
city heads were of the opinion
that any such program must be a
balanced program. taking into
account not only the admittedly
large needs in the fields Of edu-
cation, but also certain pressing
needs In the field of public well
fare. public health. expansion Of
our sewer system as the city ex-
pands, expansion Of our city-wide
net Of recreation facilities and
other important public improve
ments."
Long Range Program.
Gen. Young also said that any
such program would amount to a
of carrying out the
long-range capital improvement
program prepared by the Commits
sioners' Planning Committee two
years ago. He said about 20 per
cent Of this program had been
completed or was under way.
The work now under discussion,
he said, would be a further step
toward the same end.
