Taxpayers Warned on Wartime Expenditures in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Economy League warned taxpayers that municipal and state spending rose sharply in wartime and may not drop. It cited 97 percent rise in expenses from WWI to 1922, with Philadelphia 88 percent, Erie 102 percent, and Harrisburg 86 percent. The group urged fiscal restraint, noting potential excess income of 50 to 100 million for 1943-45 and urging legislators to decide if funds will fund only essential state functions or expanded spending. It warned there is no true emergency tax and that wartime taxes linger post-crisis.

Deliveries and milk rationing impact on dealers

Sugar substitutes may join rationed sugar, affecting ice cream and other dairy manufacturers. Health officials marked a half century of milk sanitation progress at joint meetings of the Sanitarians, PA Public Health Association, and tri-state health officials.
