Banana shortages and parking plans shape Amarillo and Albuquerque
Albuquerque sets aside two city blocks for free downtown parking with an estimated 600 spaces. In Amarillo, construction materials face shortages as bath tubs and plumbing fixtures are scarce while brick supply slows a new Roberts Paper Co building. Bananas for Amarillo rely on Central America ships now diverted to war use, with Mexican production waning after strikes. Hogan-Hamilton Supply plans a $25 000 building on Polk Street next to rail tracks with CPA approval expected to last about ten months.
