G. T. Apthorp, Finance Director
said the 1949 operation costs were
in round numbers, $755,000. This
years figures are expected to reach
$4,000 and by 1851 the general
fund is expected to need $798,000
The increase will be due to salary
increases and the added cost of the
police department under the new
44-hour week which becomes effec-
tive with July 1st, and added relief
costs.
Increasing costs in the Relief de-
partment are due to the help nec-
essary for aged whose state aid is
insufficient. There is no increase
of unemployed on the relief rolls,
Mr.. Apthorp reported.
Relief costs for 1949 were $4,000;
for 1850 they are expected to reach
at the present rate, $4,000; and
by 1851 it is estimated the needs
will be $4,000. When relief costs
attain this amount, it was said,
the relief fund would have to be
augmented with money from the
General Fund.
In addition the Commission:
Rejected three bids for the sale
of three police cars being replaced
with brand new equipment, holding
the bids were too low. Other bids
will be sought. Both zoning
measures have been approved by
the Zoning Board of Appeals.

.S0Ys Broker

NEW YORK-(ANP) Money
invested in gilt edge securities IS
much better used than money
spent on real estate, according to
Lawrence L. Lewis. Negro broker
approved by the New York Stock
Exchange.
Many Negroes, Lewis says,
plunge into the real estate mar
ket without even considering the
investment of their funds in such
securities as American Telephone
and Telegraph, General Motors,
Consolidated Edison and other
such firms.
He said: MY argument has al
ways been to buy gilt edge secur-
tiles listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or other principal ex-
changes. Prices can be followed
daily in your newspaper, and a
purchase takes only two minutes.
In contrast real estate must be
held for long periods, and there is
the problem of collecting rents,
rent control by the government,
taxes"
Speaking in an interview, Lewis
continued: 1T is also well for US
to rem e m b err each share
one vote in that corporation, if
of stock represents ownership and
enough of us have a representation
in corporations big jobs are going
to be ours not by asking but by
demanding our votes"

Judge Sam c. Blair of Circuit
court ruled that adult classes at

provide equal facilities. He had
filed a writ of mandamus demand
ing his admittance, charging that
he was not allowed to enroll be-

The defendants. the board OF ed
ucation, and Supt. of Schools A. l..
Crow, argued that his was a pri-
vate enterprise paid for by stu
dents tuition. Judge Blair said the
program was obviously a public
activity because it was run in pub

Negroes Buying Power In South
east Up; Population Down; In
come Tripled
cur
rent buying power of Negroes in
the southeastern part of the coun-
try tips the So, 5000 O0, 900 mark a
year, according to a report made
here recently. The figure repre-
sents an increase of $50 per cent
since 1949, and is even more sur-
prisings since there has been a
seven per cent drop in the Negro
population in this area over the
period.
The sharp rise in buying power
is explained by three factors:
l. A general rise in prosperity
throughout the region.
2. Negroes chances for employ
ment fluctuated both up and down
more than the economy as a whole,
which provided better-than-aver-
age increases in jobs.
3. Migration from low-pay farm
jobs to higher pay city positions.
Illustrating the latter point, the
number of Negroes on farms de-
creased 33 per cent while the num-
Der in cities and towns went up
20 per cent.
In 1889, n out of so Negroes
had monthly incomes of $165 or
more. In 1949, almost one in every
five made $3.50 a month and up,
while another fifth had between
$165 to $3.50.
Per capita, Negroes income treb-
led from $3.50 in 1889 to about
$500 in 1949. Income per person
in 1949 averaged $500 in rural
areas and over 5000 in urban
centerS.
With this rise in income, the
Negroes buying power increased.
Where before the war, most fam
lilies could afford only absolute
necessities and a ~sprinkling OF
luxury items, the postwar picture
shows they were able to obtain
better housing. clothing, house
hold appliances and many other
items not necessarily essential.
Although there has been wide.
spread migration to other sections
Of the country Negroes still com.
prise 27 per cent of the regions
total population.
