Sugar slump ends shortage symbol in inflation era
Sugar warehouses are full and refinery shutdowns rise as prices fall from late last year. Amstar's San Francisco plant paused for five days, while New Orleans area refinery Amstar reopened after a week. Wholesale five pound sugar drops to 2.48, with retailers slow to pass savings to shoppers. Industry officials call it a temporary oversupply and slack season as buying behavior shifts from stockpiling to depleting inventories.

Wisconsin motorists face higher taxes to fund roads
Wisconsin county highway officials at the winter meeting urged higher gasoline taxes and auto license fees to maintain roads and support mass transit. They say user taxes are the practical solution as the state faces a $10 million deficit in 1975, with the Transportation Department proposing a 3 cent per gallon fuel tax increase and an $6 rise to the $18.50 annual auto registration fee. Local officials note the political unpopularity but insist spending must rise to keep pavement safe and crews employed.
