his squad by working his way

Consumers using over $4,000
gallons per month are charged
five cents per thousand for all
water above that amount.
Largest Consumer
CaldWell's three largest COM
mercial users include the Cald-
we'll Produce Co., the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the Cozier
Container Co. The largest water
user, the Caldwell Produce Co.,
used 100000 gallons of water
during the month of February.
During 1947, while the old
water rates were still in effect,
the water works division showed
deficit of $1,849.68. Total re-
ceipts for the year totalled
$8,35751 while expenditures to-
tailed $10,207l9. The light plant,
however, had a profit of $l,541.74
thereby reducing the overall def
icit to only $30794.
Shows Profit
Total receipts for the water
works division during 1873 to-
tailed $1O,13007 while expendi-
lures amounted to $9929.88. The
WaterWorks, therefore, showed
profit of $2O0.19 for the year.
The light plant, which had to
purchase some new equipment
and make several minor repairs,
showed a deficit Of $649.26.
The water plant only last week
completed the installation work
on a new pump which forces the
purified water from the mixing
chambers into the city mains
and to the storage tank located
near the Clarence Crum home,
northwest Of town. The pure wat
er storage tank has an approXi-
mate capacity of 100000 gallons
and is used as a reserve.

Rx the Assoeioted Rrsss

Bourbon drinkers may soon hnd
themselves faced with making .
decision more complicated than
whether to take their whisky with
soda or water. The prospective
choice:
Whether to imbibe bourbon
aged four years in new, charred
white oak barrels or that stored
in used barrels for two years and
then changed to new barrels for
another two.
The Government says there
isn't any difference between the
two whiskies. Some distillers ar
que there is.
A hearing on the matter starts
tomorrow before the Alcohol Tax
Unit of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. Technically it's on a
proposal to change regulations
governing the labelling of domes-
tic whiskies.
1t is expected to produce an
answer to the question of how
whisky should attain a respectable
age.
Some whisky goes from the still
directly into new, charred white
oak barrels. 1t remains there for
four or more years and when it is

Revenue Hearing Will Take Up
Aoino of Bourbonin Used Barrels

4, bottled it merits the label Of bour-
bon or rye.
However, during the war when
it was difficult for the distilleries
to get white oak for barrel slaves
old once-used barrels were pressed
into service.
The object was to get the
whisky into storage Immediately
with a plan to transfer it to new
barrels later. whenever they were
available. Quite a quantity of
whisky was stored in that FASH
ion.
Now the holders Of that kind
want permission to label it as
Bourbon whiskey" or Straight
Bourbon whiskey" of an age equal
to the entire time it was stored In
both old and new barrels.
The distillers who put their
whiskey into new barrels directly
from the still object to any var
lance from the traditional stor-
age.
Last spring, however, the In
ternal Revenue Bureau handed
down a ruling which said:
Whiskies distilled between Aug
ust l, 1914, and October 81, 1946,
and placed in used barrels for a
while and then transferred to new
barrels could claim age for the

combined storage time. It added
that If the whiskey was in new
barrels for at least "a months 1t
could be labeled straight Bour-
bon Cor rye) whiskey."
If it was stored in new barrels
at least six months but less than
"a months it could be labeled
Bourbon Cor rye) whiskey" and
claim an age equal to its combined
storage.
The distillers in the Bourbon
belt-particularly Kentucky-pro-
tested to their Congressman,
claimed the ruling was arbitrary,
the result threat to their busi-
ness. The outcome of the hearing
will be awaited with interest also
by the barrel-making industry.

McGrath Leads Move
For Compromise With
6. 0. P. on Trade Bill
Ax the Asso<iotsd Press

Democratic National Chairman
J. Howard McGrath has taken the
lead In efforts to compromise with
Senate Republicans on the admin
istration's reciprocal trade agree
ments bill.
Senator McGrath said yesterday
he was acting as Rhode Island
without consulting Presi-
dent Truman-in discussing q
proposal to soften the so-called
peril point" amendment backed
strongly by Republicans.
His move Immediately was in
terpreted as rejecting Democratic
efforts to strengthen their posi-
ton, inasmuch as Republicans ap-
parently intend to blame recipro-
cal trade agreement tariff cuts for
many Job layoffs, particularly in
New England.
Democrats in Disagreement.
i Some Democratic leaders are
known to look with disfavor on
any attempts to compromise. They
still feel they can beat the Repub-
lican peril point" amendment.
But others aren't so sure because
of the economic changes in the
last month.
The peril point" Amendment.
defeated by the administration in
the House, would require the
Tariff Commission to fix in ad-
vance the low point to which
duties could be reduced without
damaging American industry.
It would report its findings Sc
cretly to the President. II the
President then negotiated tarl1
cut below the point. he would have
to explain to Congress why ne TOOK
the action.
Change in Procedure Talked.
Republicans regard this as only
a partly effective brake on tarln
reductions but say it represents
about the best limitation they
have any hope of getting out OF
the Democratic Congress.
Senator McGrath said he has
talked to Senator Brewster. Re
publican, of Maine, and others
about reversing the procedure so
that the President first would
negotiate the agreements and the
Tariff Commission then would re-
view them.
Even If the commission found
that some of the rate cuts would
hurt American industry. the Pres
tdent still could 60 ahead with
them, provided he made q public
explanation.
Might Eliminate Leaks.
The Rhode Island Senator said
he thinks this would eliminate the
possibility of leaks" on advance
commission findings which might
tip of other countries on how far
the United States is willing to 60
In lowering tariffs on specific
items.
The bill would extend the Trade
Agreements Act without the peril
point" provision and other restric-
tions imposed by the 80th Con-
gress. The law provides for ne
gotiation with other nations for
tariff reductions within the limits
on q reciprocal basis.
Senator McGrath also has dis
eussed his compromise proposal
with Chairman George Of the
Senate Finance Committee. who
expects TO get Senate debate
started on the reciprocal trade
bill late next week.
Senator Brewster said he doesn't
know whether Republicans would
be willing to support the McGrath
proposal. He indicated that their
attitude might depend on the
amount Of Democratic strength
Senator McGrath could muster for
the compromise.
