Steel Output
Expected to
Rise Slowly

CLEVELAND, March 6 (AP)
Steel production, on the up
turn, will accelerate gradually
as warmer weather arrives,
Steel Magazine said today.
Last weeks 1.56 million ingot
tons of output was down IA per
cent from the previous week,
the weekly journal of metal
working reported. but this was
due in part to a curtailment at
Youngstown Sheet & Tubes
Campbell works where furnaces
were banked while refinishing
facilities are being enlarged.
For four consecutive weeks
production has exceeded is
million tons-a level reached
last October.
More customers are ordering
steel, although aggregate ton
mage has not mounted, Steel
said, and viewed this as an in
dication more users have COM
pleted inventory adjustments
and can be expected to start
using steel faster soon. Auto
mobile Sales are improving, and
leading farm machinery manu-
facturers are predicting a good
sales year ahead, Steel said.
Steel's composite price on No.
l heavy melting steelmaking
scrap reached its highest level
in more than a year last week,
jumping $l.67 to $35.67 a gross

make way for parking lots.
He said the parking industry
has been patiently assembling
land. without the benefit of
Government aid in condemna-
ton through urban renewal,
quite generally over the city.
Mr.. Doggett made it clear that
not cent of Government
money goes into this enter
prise. He declared the parking
industry's land-acquisition pro-
gram makes for flexibility in
the growth Of the central busi-
ness district.
Figures Cited
Latest available figures from
the Parking Agency show there
are 1901 spaces on commercial
lots and 12,348 additional in
commercial garages for the
public in the downtown section.
This is described as running
from Second to Twenty-third
streets and from Constitution
to Massachusetts, avenues NV.
Mr.. Doggett pointed out that
a ground surface parking lot
later blossoms out into a big
new modern office building with
more parking space contained
within it than was previously
available.
He cited the new office build I
ing at 17l7 Pennsylvania ave- A.;
nue. NV, the ground for which
was first assembled and used as I
a parking lot. Additional prop '
critics were acquired and devel- 8
oped by private developers and
now three stories beneath the
ground a mammoth garage {
serves the office building, he I
said.
He said a building of only one
or two stories would not be
likely constructed on an exist
ing parking lot.

declared.
Sometimes, a parking firm
leases back the new garage
facilities and sometimes it par {

making possible a new office
structure" he said.
