Economic forecast cites modest gains and slow recovery
Col. Ayres projects 1936 industrial production to rise less than 12 percent from 1935, with autos and iron and steel up 10 to 20 percent while coal output leads, and textile output possibly shrinking. He warns durable goods need confidence and private investment to sustain a real recovery, not just consumer spending or public aid. Local bids report: John K. Jackson named low bidder for a new bridge over the Presque Isle river at Marenisco, with a bid of 21,874.1 for two 50-foot spans. Fox V. Construction wins a contract for 678 miles of car and drainage structures on M-28 in Matchwood and McMillan townships.
