. i J:
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2-UPV-
livm costs Inched upwards in
most. Pacific coast cities in Sep
tember, running counter ; to the
national " trend, the national in
dustrial conference board, reports'.
" The average west coast rise was
about 0.1 jer cent, while the na-f
tional downturn was 0.4' per cent.
- The national survey found up
turns only in six areas, four of
'them oh. this. coast, all four the
same size 0.2 per cent That rise
was more than the board found
anywhere else In the nation.
Although the report made no
explanation f of the west coast de
parture fronkthe general national
direction in prices and - services,
the continued crowding: of cities
here was ample evidence even to
the casual observer. !
The 0.2 per cent rises were re
ported from Los Angeles, Sacra
mento, the bay area and Spokane.
Portland had a dip of 04 per cent
and. Seattle 0.3. On the .whole,
coast living costs were about even
with wartime peaks, running a
little higher in Los Angeles, but
lower than the wartime top In
Seattle. . ...-.- .
In spite of great increases In
gome prices, the board's studies
Indicated national living costs
were only some 23 per cent higher
than five years ago. There were
wide divergencies in price rises
even for items In great demand,
coincident with , differences In
handling ceilings. .
, The board's studies, for exam
ple, showed , a six-year rise in
rents of a little over five per cent
en the average, while a depart
ment of agriculture study of pric
es received by dairy1 farmers
showed a doubling of that farm
group's prices in the same time,
without including subsidies. In
cluding subsidies, the dairy prod
ucts prices on farms rose 125 per
cent. -. , '

For New Zone

Supply firm will file a new ap
plication for change of zone, this

. After 61 per cent of the prop
erty owners in an adjacent dist-
l rict had filed a protesting peti
tion, the city planning and zon
ing commission at a public. hear-
. lng Friday declared it would rec
ommend to the council that the
company's application be denied.

Immediately east of the property

. The change sought in the origi
nal application would have af

Kne of the alley, running through
blocks 3 and 6 of Condit's addl-
tiotvand an extension of the cen

A complete survey of the Alaska

Public Counsel Russell S. Bern-
hard suggested today, during or
al arguments on applications . for
Pacific routes, " that the board
must consider the effect of any
new certification "on the opera

The board's examiners'- have
recommended that Alaska airlines
be authorized to fly between "Se

w o u 1 d-connect with recom

to several Alaskan cities. He con
ceded the ability of most domes

lief an Alaska based line would
be a better selection. " ' '.
