Lid’s Off Economists Debate Credit Policy After Lapse
Economists admit uncertainty about the impact of ending wartime credit controls. Government authority to regulate installment buying expired June 30 after four years of peacetime extension justified by shortages and inflation suppression. Congress let the rule lapse as shortages faded and inflation risks diminished. Opinions vary on whether removing the limit will spur demand or ease credit conditions. The debate centers on what, if anything, will change in consumer borrowing.

Highway Costs Rise as Public Works Estimate Soars
The American Public Works Association warns the highway system in the 48 states may require 47 billion dollars over the next two decades to remain usable. Maintenance spending has surged from 383 million in 1921 to 1.1 billion last year, with 41.1 million motor registrations. Heavier trucks and buses stress roads, and taxes on fuel registration and sales are likely to rise. Indiana proposes financing roads partly from excise and luxury taxes, signaling broader user-pay funding.
