Financial Aspects of Municipal Water and Electric Growth
Editor notes condensation of the Engineers' report on city water and electric system improvements. Water lacks profit while the electric utility shows a rising net return, last year about 22 percent but without depreciation reserves. Projections place future net return above 10 percent after expenses and retirements, with a bond-indenture funded reserve to protect credit and earmark funds for replacements. The bond issue funds customer connections, transformers, lines, meters, and substations as Monroe issues some 1000 building permits in three years, driving extensive equipment additions and varying costs.

Prohibits Trucks On Super Highway
Major General George P. Hays said Soviet authorities eased freight truck restrictions from west Germany to Berlin by allowing some to proceed without permits. He noted other trucks would still require permits and urged negotiations to drop that demand, calling it a new restriction and a possible breach of the four power agreement.
