$4,000
In Pas Figures

The proposed 1950-5l budget
for Pascagoula schools shows
a $4,000 decrease over expen-
ditures during the 1949-50 ses-
sion, according to figures re-
leased this week by Thomas
r. Wells, superintendent of
schools, and P. w. Cox, pre-
sident of the board Of trustees.
Budget figure for the coming
session was set at S2S4.56l.4o.
The expenditures for the past
session amounted to S2s3.s53.si.
Decrease in the proposed budget
was matched by similar de-
crease in anticipated revenues.
Chief among the latter is in the
state per capita fund which fell
from S65.802 for last session to
an anticipated s42,640 for 1850
81. The payment is made by the
state on the basis of educabIe

Less Federal Aid
Smaller decreases were regis
tered IN other anticipated rev

decrease coming in anticinated
federal aid, which was reduced
from S86.Sl2 for the last session
to an expected $4,000 for the
coming session.
However, this reduced figure
still accounts for approximately
30se of the total anticipated rev

DW6rfS original Plan
The company had originally an
nounced in May a program that
included the installation of new
soda recovery boiler and an addi-
ton to the power system of T.
500 XIV turbo-generator and new
switch gear.
However, the program announ-
ced this week replaces the original
plans and dWarfs them in COM
parison.
A new. modern paper mach
inc with production capacity
Of 200 tons daily will be INSTALL
ed" Major Friend said. This
is in addition to the present
capacity of ESQ tons day. and
will give the Moss Point mill
total annual capacity of 10000
tons of different grades of
paper.
"The output of this new mach
inc is intended primarily for the
manufacture of milk containers,
for which demand has risen con-
siderably throughout the nation.
AS a result of this increased
production capacity, International
Paper expects to spend an addi-
tional $1,500,000 a year in the
South in buying wood for the
Moss Point mill, and an addition
al 1875, 900 a year with railroads;
trucking concerns and other haul
ers."
New Power Plant
In addition to the new paper
machine, said Major Friend, a
complete new power plant is to
be installed to furnish the total
power requirements for both the
additional and old production.
The plant will be designed for
high efficiencies, using high pres
sure boilers. and will have an
electrical generating capacity of
$4,000 XIV.
Two high pressure. gss-fired
steam generating power boilers
will be installed as well as two
modern black liquor" recovery
boilers.
The '.black liquor" is a valuable
side product of paper making and
Is processed elsewhere by Inter-
national into refined vegetable
fats and rosin.
The recovery units will replace
the old rotary type units and will
