Thursday, Nov. 6, 1930 Labor is co-operating effectively in reducing construction costs, not so much by accepting lower wages but by doing more work in a day, Union bricklayer: are said to be laying nearly twice as many bricks a day as formerly, while carpenters and other workers have increased their effieien- cy 30 to 40 per cent. During the summer and early fall there has been much remodeling, in- cluding the replacing of heating plants with"ditrerent systems which etfect large fuel savings. Economyi in operating costs is being sought, as} well as in construction itself.

It formerly ran an electric plant which supplied the town of Anchorage and earned an income of $60,000 a year, but was turned over to private hands for nothing just before the change of managers on the railroad. More than ',200,000 of overdue freight bills had accumulated with no chance of collec- ition. Alaska coal is required to pay such rates that much coal from Se- attle is sold in competition with it. Coal land leasing and other conser- vation laws were cited by citizens as (preventing development of trnftie for “the railroad. In fact, the territory is carefully conserved for future gen- erations, while the public money is squandered on a railroad that was ' intended to develop the eountry.-- I The Portland Oregonian.

The total number of inquiries re- Iceived and answered up to October I Iwas 346,224, as compared with 212.- l232 for the same period last year, the motor club touring bureau said in a statement. That total was taken from the main office and branchek in 62 1eounties in northern parts of Illinois and indiana. The increase in busi- lness in Cook county and the “down- state" areas was exactly proportion- ‘ute, thus indicating that touring in on the increase in the suburban, as ‘well as urban, areas. The bureau also reported a vast increase in the number of "foreign" _ car owners in Chicago during their l vacation periods. These figures clearly reveal that Touring in Summer . Sets New High Mark Chicago, with its miles .of sandy beaches, city parks, adjacent forest preserves, and countless other at- traetions, possesses a wide reputation as an ideal summer resort region, the statement concluded. w V v .
