Two Towns Gel
Pollution Aid
Rockville, Laurel
Receive Priority

Rockville. Laurel and six other
Maryland communities under
State orders to improve their
sewage disposal systems have
been given top priority for f.
nancial aid under the Federal
water pollution control law.
The priorities were announced
Yesterday by the State Water
Pollution Control Commission
and Department of Health, joint
administrators of the Federal
funds. The State has been APP
Iportioned $750,300 per year for
the next 10 years under the 1856
law designed to help local juris-
dictions clean up their water
ways.
In addition to the moSt-urgent
category. the State agencies des-
|ignated scores of other COM
Imunities-many in the Potomac
River watershed-as needing
pollution abatement measures.
Actual distribution. of the
Federal funds will be on the
basis of each community's need
and its readiness to begin con-
|struction on the necessary prof.
ects. Specific apportionment OF
funds will be announced later
as the communities detail Their
needs and their preparedness to
meet them.
Commission Applied for Aid
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, RESPONSE
BILE for water supply and sewage
collection in portions of Prince
Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties adjoining Washington, has
applied for Federal aid in con-
|nection with improvements fol
both Rockville and Laurel.
These are construction of a
sewage treatment plant for Lau-
rel and a major trunk sewer for
Rockville.
The treatment plant is pro-
posed to be located on the Pa
tuxent River downstream from
the town on a site just east of
the Baltimore Washington park
way. Its estimated cost, includ-
ing a sewage interceptor line
from town to plant, is 81 million.
The Rockville project, whose
100000 cost would be split be-
tween the city and WSSC, in

week it lost 80 cents.
There were two major develop
ments in the interest and credit
picture during the week. Major
commercial banks in several
cities on Tuesday upped the
prime rate they charge on loans
to top-grade borrowers.
Late Thursday the Federal

four of it's regional banks had

per cent in move to discourage
excessive borrowing. This is the

charge on money they lend to

step Friday.
Rumors that the Federal

Boom
BY WALTER BREEDE, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer


NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Uncle
Sam took steps this week to keep
a -than-expected midyear
boom from kicking over the
traces.
Several months ago forecast
ers were predicting sharp let
down in business in the third
quarter. We're a little more than
half way through the quarter
now.
But things didn't work out
that way. Despite the steel
strike, most lines of business
kept right on rolling at a break
neck pace, Personal income and
consumer debt rose to all-time
peaks. New highs were scored
for retail trade. Heavy construc-
ton pushed to record levels. Big
corporations borrowed vast sums
of money for expansion.
And just ahead there emerged
the prospect of a fall and win
ter business surge of hitherto
unheard-of proportions-an up
turn paced by expected brisk
demand for the new 1857 model
cars and a record-smashing
Christmas shopping season.
1t was against this background
of developing boom and inf1a-
ton that the Federal Reserve
Board late this week approved
an increase in the discount rate
charged by five key Federal Re-
serve Banks on the funds they
advance to commercial banking
institutions.
The week brought plenty of
new evidence to support the
Federal Reserve Boards conten-
ton that inflationary pressures
were rising.
The United States Labor De-
partment reported that living
costs last night inched to a
new high.
At lit per cent Of the 1947-
40 average, the index of con-
sumner prices for July was OF
per cent higher than in June
and LA per cent above the
index for May.
Price increases-present or
Ifuture-were announced for a
whole new list of industrial and
consumer items-lathes, milling
and grinding machines, vacuum
packed coffee, industrial rubber
hose, television picture tubes,
mems shirts. Kelvinator freezers,
refrigerators. ranges and
wringer-type washers, and Gen.
eral Electric Co. transistors.
Department store sales at
latest count we're up 5 per cent
from the year-ago week.
Steel production was back up
TO 95.1 per cent of capacity.
Freight carloadings moved UP
sharply.
Farmers were told that their
income this year would show an
increase for the first time since
1851.
Electric power output-11,-
794. 100000 (b) kilowatt-hours in
the latest week-was the highest
ever recorded.
