The International City Managers' association said that of 17 cities queried, "nearly all" reported curtailing construction of capital improvements because of nearly 100 per cent increases in bbilding costs.' A further drain on city funds, the association said, came from demands of city employees for wage increases and the necessity of extending some city services to new .levelopments regardless of cost. The association cited Muskegon, Mich., as a "typical example** of, public works curtailment. Work on'".j the city's sewage disposal plant was | suspended because work estimated to cost $500,000 last year now would require a $900,000 outlay. Bartlesville, Okla., reported that it might have to ration water next summer because the cost of con. sfructing a jnew pumping station has become prohibitive. Grand Junction, Colo., rejected bids on a waterworks because inflation put costs above budget limits. Berkeley, Calif., recently adopted a policy of rejecting bids above normal price levels on all but "emergency" projects. Austin, Tex., announced postponement of construction of new municipal building fjbr which plans have been complet Municipal pay increases and extension of essential city sprfces tie new residential districts-Stymied the public works programs of Long Beach, Calif., and High Point, N. C. Long Beach postponed building new fire stations and libraries while High Point curtailed its public works program. ' Despite construction curtailments, more than half the 17 cities surveyed had to increase taxes to meet current costs. Three cities lowered 1946 tax rates, but higher property valuations generally increased total revenues.

The current coiiies from 80,000 feet of No. 8 gauge bare copper wire buried a foot under ground at the site.

Its contents of a skull, braes and t rolled document were pronounced authentic. The document, dated Decefober 1836, was found to agree in every detail with a copy possessed by Baeza y Moreno, one of the four discoverers of the urn. Historians assumed from the date that the casket was removed from its former resting pl^e in the Chap ] el of Jesus hospital during anti-* Spanish riots of 1823, but was not hidden in the wall of the chapel un- , il IB years later. . The document, signed by church authorities attested to the authenticity of the casket's contents and briefly recounted their history* to that date. Pres. Avrla Camacho has orderec the casket turned over to the National Historical and Anthropological Institute for safekeeping. Cuba was in agricultural enterprise amounting to 241 million dollars, mostly in the sugar industry. The bulk of the rerrtainder consisted of: public utilities and transportation, 233 million dollars; manufacturing enterprises, 27 million dollars; businesses concerned with distribution of products, 12 million dollars; petroleum, 10 million dollars; and mining and smelting, T million, dollars.

Cuba Good Customer Cuba became the third best cash customer of the United States during' the war years, exceeded only py Canada and Mexico, according to department of commerce figures. On a per capita basis, Cuba ranks Second only to Canada in goods bought from the United States. The extent of Cuba's ability to buy this country's goods depends directly on the extent of Cuban sugar sales to United States. In 1932, when imports at Cuban sugar into this country fell to the lowest point in many years, amounting to only 39 million dollars, Cuba's purchases from this country declined to, about 29 million dollars.
