Citywide water rate hike set for April 1
City water director L W J Cooper ordered a 50 percent rate increase effective April 1 to fund a Sandy creek impounding dam and treatment plant.

Rates need no council approval and bond financing will back the project.

War Production Chief Donald Nelson urged Congress to grant a 30 day window to seek voluntary suspension of double pay for overtime through labor leaders before enacting new rules. He opposed suspending federal hour limits and a ban on closed shops in war contract industries, warning such moves would shift wage structures and fail to increase actual output. The plan faces opposition from Sen. George who warned of drastic measures unless the administration acts quickly to modify the 40 hour week.
