The payroll has tripled over ten years and now consumes 16 percent more than in 1949. Last year wages rose with a $2.50 to $5.00 weekly increase after bargaining. Taxes, the second largest expense, have quadrupled since 1941 and nearly doubled since 1949, with about 30 cents of every dollar of service revenue going to taxes. Materials costs have more than doubled since 1941 and rose 9 percent since 1949 as prices climb.
