Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., rage 2Q wed., May 21, 1952 Newsprint Cost Up in Canada $10 a Ton Added By 2 Producers NEW YORK m Two of the large Canadian newsprint pro ducers raised their price $10 a ton Tuesday to the highest news print price in history. Consolidated Paper Corporation the second largest producer, and Abltibi Power and Paper Co., the tmra largest, notified their cus tomers of price increases. INTERNATIONAL Paper Co., the largest newsprint producer In the United States and Canada, has made no announcement concern ing its prices thus far. - The price varies according to the section of the country, but on a New York basis, the Increase brings the cost to $126 a ton. This is the second price increase within a year and it compared with a low of $40 during the de pression years of the yearly 30's nd the previous high of $120 in the early 20's. IT ADDS about 50 million dol lars a year to the costs of Ameri-i can publishers, who already are finding themselves in an increas ingly difficult cost squeeze in get ting out a daily paper. ' The price increase becomes ef-. fective in mid-June. Just what the United States newsprint producers might do was uncertain. The general feeling was that un der the price stabilization act they would have to go to Washington for approval to hike their price tags. THE ANNOUNCEMENT of the Canadian increase had been .ex pected since last week when the Canadian government gave per mission for it in the face of higher costs and the increase in the value of the Canadian dollar compared with the United Statei dollar. The United States government immediately asked Canadian, au thorities to reconsider and rescind its permission for the increase. Newsprint accounts for as much as 50 per cent of the costs of get ting out a large metropolitan daily and ilnoe the war's end the price has advanced 192 per cent.

M. White, president of Republla Steel Corp., told a businessmen's convention here. Addressing the annual meeting ef the American Steel Warehouse Attn., White declared: "When I wat a little boy I (bought company presidents were big thott who made final deelaions up in the front office.

"First they deoide on wage sta bilisation rules. Then they buckle down to find ways and means to get around these rules.

Members of the Council in dicated in discussion that they felt the proposed interest rate was too high. Various reasons for this were offered. One councilman said pared to the nearly Vk asked failure of the city's proposed budget was probably regarded by (he banks as an unhealthy sign. It was decided to submit the city's prospectus for water and sewage improvement to the banks in an effort to get additional bids. This will be discussed at the special meeting next Thursday. COUNCILMAN Richard Twing noted the prospectus was prepared by the city's engineers as con siderable expense and should have been sent out with the call for bids, for banks' consideration.. On inquiry from one council member Roderick said that in his experience, cities were paying from from 2H to 4 as com- bv the Cottage Grove Bank. The matter of the proposed water sale contract with the Woodard Lumber Co. was again brought up. Councilman Twing read a letter from the bureau of Municipal Research in answer to his query on the proposed con tract. (Woodard's proposal calls for a 10-year agreement with a constant rate being charged for each of two five-year periods.) THE LETTER stated that the right of a city to enter into a con tractual agreement was a recog nized part of its governmental function. But a contract extending beyond the term to be served by of the "proprietary functions of the city" the letter stated. The bureau also advised that the proposed con tract contained no clause provid ing for service should the city suf fer a water shortage. The council decided to refer tlje matter to the water committee to see if another agreement can be worked out with the Woodard company. The matter of bids on a central heating plant for City Hall was referred to the property committee after a reading of the three bids submitted. H & S Plumbing and Heating Co. of Eugene was low with a bid of $1942.90 for installa tion and purchase of the plant J. J. Walker Co. of Cotttage Grove the council, would be a violation was next low with a bid of $2035 Next was the bid of Roberts and urury or Cottage Grove with a bid of .$2450. Aslin .
