OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TOUR IN ST. THOMAS
CONTINUED from yesterday

##@&
Remaining constantly cognizant Of the Islands water
needs, the Governor in observing the great expanse Of roof
area on the various buildings on the grounds advanced the
thought that the overflow from the schools cistern could
be piped to Paul M. Pearson Gardens to help alleviate a short
age in that area. 4
Construction currently in progress at the High School
together with the cost of the recently completed food ware
house on the grounds, totals$s26Q0O according to conrnis-
sioner Adams.
Following the High School, the inspection party was
driven completely around the East End of the Island, afford
ing the Governor an opportunity to see the road work IL pro
gress in that area. The road. which until recently averaged
is feet in width, has been widened In certain sections and
work is continuing towards this end on the rest Of the
stretches.
During this drive the Governor made brief stops to view
new sanitation facilities at Madison School, a new 10000
gallon cstern to serve residents in the Smith Bay area, and
a new well recently dug to service the ADattor a. Eseate
Nadir.
Returning tostown the inspection party spent consdera-
BILE time at Long Bay where the Governor was shown the
new locker room building nearing completion at the bas-
ket ball court site.
Noting that Wsgeannotth have ale npIete6dtdoo fecrea-
ton program on the island without. the proper facilities
Governor Paiewonsky felt that another progressive step
has been made with the creation Of this facility The build
inc when put into use within ten days will provide locker
and shower facilities for both men and women and IN addl-
ton will house a refreshment stand
The Governor was concerned with the operation of the sew
age lift station at Long Bay visited the facility where the
Commissioners explained that corrective measures are beng
taken to assure the proper flow.
While there Commissioner Huston received the Cover
nors approval to recommend to the Planning Board that sew
ace treatment plant be included in the plans for developing
the reclaimed land in that area. Public Works also plans for

a treatment plant to be constructed ii Tutu Estate area Of
the island. 54s
Road construction work on the Northside of the island
was inspected as the Governors party proceeded to Magens
Bay Beach. There the Governor saw the recently completed
bath house and other projects under way on the grounds.
The afternoon was taken up first with visits to Jane 2.
Tuitt School, Herrick School and Washington School where
the Governor inspected recently completed additions and
current work in progress. Two classrooms are being added
at the Herrick School and are scheduled to be ready for oc
cupancy by the first Of the year.
Classroom additions to the Jane E. Tuitt School have
been completed and are now in use.

Even with the improvement
in May, the company's earnings
for the first five months Of
1868 still trailed the like
period Of last year by nearly 20
per cent. Earnings in the five
month period were $125,29S,
compared with $168,S00 in

Gross operating revenues in
May were $2,758,136, up 81 per

Consumer Reaction
Puzzles Economists

found something else to do
with it than to run down to
the store or dealer.
Spent in Recession
This is almost as hard for
the experts to explain as the
consumers calm continuance
Of spending during the 1860
recession when he should have
been frightened and retrench-
ing.
And this unpredictable ele-
ment is tough on the planners
who would like to plot, and
steer, q course for the economy.
Also upsetting to them Just
now is that some Of the sea-
sonal patterns aren't being fol.
lowed in other sectors of the
economy.
The general outlook remains
good, but some things are lag
ging when they should be ad-
vancing.
One is the factory hiring
rate. The Labor Department
says this edged up to 80 per
1000 employees in May from 38
in April. The increase is smaller
than seasonal. And the lag
came when many industries
were increasing production and
most business statistics were
taking on a much healthier
glow.
This helped drop the layoff
rate to IA per 1000 employees
from 16 IN April. And this was
about in line with season
trends. But many had hoped for
a greater dip because of in
creased industrial activity.
More layoffs are expected
this summer, credited in large
part to a slump in steel output.
This could be more than sea-
sonal because many steel con-
sumers have plenty on hand,
due to a buildup In stocks when
they feared a possible steel
strike.
Optlmists Prevail
Optimists-and they are in
the majority right now-expect
factory hirings to pick up after
Labor Day: They count on a
good advance In industrial
production this fall.
Their main argument: Con-
sumner incomes should advance
still further. And this should
mean a nice boost in retail sales
and in spending for services.
1t should mean that. But
will it2 That's the question
which even the experts can't
answer. They can't always be
sure about the consumer and
his pocketbook.
Sometimes he spends freely
and sometimes he doesn't.
Almost everyone feels sure
that total consumer expendi-
lures will stay high. Most ex-
pect them to advance.
How big an advance may
settle a lot Of things: Sales,
production, profits-and Jobs.

are below competitive rates
abroad.
The higher short-term rates
would be expected to reduce
the outflow of funds to other
countries and help solve the
unfavorable balance of inter-
national payments for the
United States.
Meets Next Week
The Federal Reserve Board
took no action yesterday and
will not meet again until next
Thursday. Belief is strong In
banking circles that action will
be taken at that time.
The latest $50 million de-
cline in gold reserves was the
second in three weeks and
the third in seven weeks.
1t brought to $295 million
the outflow for the year to
date and reflected the chronic
balance Of payments problem.
In the same period last year
the outflow totaled $500 mil
lion. Total gold reserves now
stand at $15,683, 100000, low
est mark since April, 1899.
The Federal Reserve made
no comment on identity of the
latest foreign gold purchase
but New York newspapers
speculated that the gold would
go to France, which has been
running a strong balance OF
payments surplus.
Free Reserves Rise
Despite the gold loss, mem
Der bank free reserves bounced
back from their three-year low
established in the previous
week. They averaged $157
million daily in the week ended
yesterday, the board reported.
This compared with a revised
daily average Of $104 million
for the preceding week.
A raise in discount rates
would strengthen all interest
rates, but especially short term
rates, bankers believe. Because
of the large amount of funds
available for long-term invest
ment, it is doubted that longer
term rates would go UP as
much.
The fact that short-term
rates abroad have been higher
than in the United States has
been a major factor in the
outflow of funds and helped
to intensity the balance OF pay
ments problem, they contend.
A small increase in the rates
will make a big difference in
the outflow and have only a
negligible effect on the do
nestle economy, they say.
Administration officials are
known to be deeply concerned
with the balance Of payments
problems and are coming
around to the view that fur
ther steps will be necessary to
keep it from developing into
an embarrassing crisis.
