that Army engineers eventually
hope to build q water storage

put the PEPCO site under 13 feet

"If the plant goes there. II

Potomac Plaza
Route Studied
For Inner Belt
Expresswuy Plan
One Of Several
To Be Considered

A plan to route Washington's
''inner belt" expressway through
part Of the proposed mulu-mil-
lion-dollar Potomac Plaza devel-
opment in Foggy Bottom is being
studied by Federal and city plan
ners, 1t was learned today.
The plan, in rough form, has
no official Endorsement but was
drawn by q National Capital
Planning Commission technician
and submitted to q special COM
mission subcommittee for COM
ments this week.
The submission is in line with
a planning commission order for
a report on various studies the
commission staff has been max
ing on the expressway location.
District consultants have
routed the expressway around
the big Potomac Plaza apart
ment-offlce building project, To-
Gated on Washington Gas Light
Co. property to the east and west
Of the intersection of New Hamp-
shire and Virginia avenues.
Cuts Plaza Block
The new planners sketch,
however. suggests that the ex-
pressway follow the line Of New
Hampshire to Washington circle,
cutting on the easternmost block
In the Potomac Plaza project.
The affected block already has
been purchased by the private
developers for an apartment and
two office buildings. and the de-
velopers hope to break ground
shortly after the. first Of the
year.
John Nolen. jr., planning COM
mission director, told the Urban
Renewal Council on Tuesday
that the alternate road location
could save the District upwards
Of 'seyen figures" against the
cost Of the location proposed by
the District consultants.
At a planning commission
meeting two weeks ago. Mr.
Nolen reported the Potomac
Plaza project is about to 60
ahead. He said then that the
start would reduce the freedom"
Of planning for the development
of the entire Foggy Bottom area
as an entity and mentioned the
expressway studies as one prob
lem.
Discussions Ordered
Commission Chairman Har-
land Bartholomew instructed q
special committee to discuss the
alternate highway locations with
the Potomac Plaza developers.
AS q first step, however. PLAN
ners' ideas were submitted this
week to q standing committee
made UP Of various city and Fed
eral officials.

Fourth Quarter
Ohio Coal Report

Production of coal in Ohio spurt-
ed upward in the last quarter of
1854. state Industrial Relations Di-
rector Margaret A. Mahoney am
nounced today.
Miss Mahoney said the 81 mil
lion tons of production reported
in the fourth quarter was an in
crease of II percent over third
quarter production and six percent
over production in the fourth quar-
ter of 1858.
In spite of the increase, the num-
Der of production workers in min
ing dropped over the year from
1888 to 1886, a drop of II percent.
The directors report also showed
that total mine payroll was Sill
million, a drop of nine percent
from the fourth quarter of 1858.
Strip. mining made up 62 per-
cent of the 80 million tons total.
This contrasted with SO percent in
the corresponding period of 1853.
Annual. Ohio coal production
over a 50-year period was given in
the fourth quarter report. The his
tory shows reported production in
1853 was only 95 million tons
more than in 1908 1t was 23.3 mil
lion tons more in 1918 than in
1903.
Production in 1918 hit an all
time high of 47.9 million tons. Af-
ter that it fluctuated from year to
year, hitting low points of approx
mately Is million tons in 1927 and
1923. It hit an all-tirne low in 1882
of 1879 million tons.
The high point after that came
in 1948, when 38.3 million tons
were reported. The recession OF
1949 took production down, but it
rose again and in 1851 approached
the 1948 level. Then began an un-
interrupted decline. The estimated
production in 1854 was 80 million
tons.

today the purchase of television

and up-to-the minute household
equipment are responsible for
many money problems.
Miss Macleod reminded her aud
fence that money in hand before
you buy was the rule in grand
parents day. People did not rest
easily until they had paid off their
mortgages. But today's economy is
different, she said. Use of credit,
both by charge accounts and in
stallment buying, has become an
accepted American custom.
The budget consultant explained
that credit is simply the privilege
of paying in the future for some
thing bought today. Amount of
credit individuals receive depends
on their ability to satisfy lender
they can repay the loan. She said

opened for practically any type
of business to be operated as a
cooperative and thus escape
taxes. With advent of high taxes,
door became popular.
An example is wholesale field.
While chain operations are
blamed for demise of high per-
centage of wholesalers, whole
sale cooperatives have probably
been as responsible, or more so.
If a retailer would prefer to
buy through a cooperative rather
than his old established whole
saler who extended credit and
performed other services, that is
his privilege. But during past
few years there is reasonable
doubt cooperative membership
would have been so attractive to
many retailers If cooperatives
had been required to pay same
taxes as private wholesaler.
Even despite tax advantages
there are wholesale cooperatives
which have not paid members
any patronage refunds in cash,
issuing stock certificates in lieu
of cash not readily negotiable
and thus of doubtful value.
n Il u
At same time, many coopera-
tives have been pushing to their
members their own house brands
competing with income tax pay
ing private manufacturers.
y y
Thus once again Congress Is
faced with an economic injustice
spawned by income tax. While
outlawing income tax would be
quick remedy, it is not to be ex-
pected such a drastic cure will
ever be entertained ~.
Therefore, 1t is felt only just
that Congress prescribe all en-
terprises engaged in production
and distribution of merchandise
be equally subject to taxation.
If such action is not taken, many
observers fear in years to come
practically all business will be
captured by cooperative system
which in many nations has sup
planted free economy system.

HiIliard Council
Sign Contract
For Sewer Project

At a meeting which was held
last week members of the Hilliard
village council cleared the way to
enter into a contract with the
Franklin County commissioners
for a sanitary sewage hook up
with the county district plan.
Prompt action was taken by
council after it was learned that
the majority of the citizens Of the
village approved of the move over
the other proposal which was for
the town to own and operate its
own disposal plant.
1t is now up to the county COM
missioners to obtain a site for the
new plant which will have to be
built in the near future at a spot
to be selected outside the city linn
its. 1t is the opinion that the new
plant will be erected near the rail-
road about one mile east of town
Commissioners will have to OBJ
tain figures on the cost Of the
plant, and make an estimate on
what the rates will be and pre-
sent same for approval at a pub
lie hearing. Doubtless it will take
several months before the system
can be installed.
Council has approved the ordin-
ance for the extension of water
and sewage facilities to the Conk-
lin addition south of the village
and to the Luxaire addition south
east of town.

Miss Macleod warned that an
initial down payment and a good
credit rating that justifies loan
seems to erase the thought of debt
from minds of some people. She
advised folks to include an allot-
ment for payments of debts
in the usual budget for in
