Union pay rule blamed for high building costs in Arizona
Tempe contractor Robert C. Daniell argues Arizona public works code forces union wages on state projects and schools, reducing competitive bidding. His firm cites a student paper criticizing the Davis-Bacon Act and the 30 percent rule, which binds nonunion bids to union wage levels when no local union rate exists.

Mortgage rates may reach 10 percent in 1976
Arthur Tonsmeire Jr. of the National Savings and Loan League warned Realtors at their convention that mortgage rates could hit 10 percent in 1976 due to the federal deficit and a changing economy. He said ample loan money will exist but at higher prices, with loan repayments around $30 billion and ongoing S&L borrowings keeping funds available. He expects only a modest decline in rates soon.
