ISOLATION has recommended to

not publicly operated. AS an al

undertaken.

would be paid off by special
levy on the Thirteenth Election

JIJY kISHAPS - There was a
large increase in the number of
motor vehicle accidents involving
damages in excess of $100 reported
to the Financial Responsibility Di-
vision of the Motor Vehicle De-
partment during July of this year
than for that same month in the
two previous years.
Officials cf the Division explain
that in their opinion a Tightening
of the regulations ON these acci-
dents caused reports of more of
them to be submitted during July
of this year than in the previous
years.
According to the records COM
piled for Mrs. Hattie Tarburton,
Director OF the Financial Respon-
sibility Division, there were total
of ell of these accidents reported
during July of this year. This is
PIT more than were reported during
July of last year and an increase of
211 over the number reported dur
ing July of 1854.
HOUR RATE S1.9S-Average
hourly earnings of production wor-
kers for July remained at $1.96
for the State of Delaware showing
no change over month ago and
an increase of four cents an hour
over July 1855 for all manufac-
turing industries.
Average weekly hours declined
to 40.7 hours in July from 42.0
hours in June. This decrease affec-
ted weekly earnings which de-
clined from s82.32 in June to $79.77
in July, a drop of $2.55. Weekly
earnings, however, are 1924 higher
than the year ago figure. The pri-
mary metals weekly earnings drop
ped from $100.32 to $94.33, reflect
ing the effect of the recent steel
strike. Employment in this indus
try also decreased considerabi!
lowering the overall employment
figure for the month.
Employment for all manufae-
turing decreased to $500 in July
-2,200 less than a month ago
Chemicals and petroleum rose from
| 81 400 in June to 21 800. This in
crease occurred primarily in re
search and administration.
