Chicago Library
Fines Reach Peak
Chicago (U.R) If library
fines for overdue books are a
criterion, Chicago patrons are
more forgetful and less thrifty
than in pre-war years.
Their contributions during
1944 in fines hit an all-time peak
of $129,699.25, the library re
ports, which is some $16,000
more than the previous high set
in 1930, and circulation that year
was 4,000,000 volumes greater
than in 1944.
These testaments to careless
ness go to the library employees'
pension fund, under state law.
The library reports also that
its statistics Indicate most bor
rowers are honest. Only one of
every 2,080- books borrowed
fails to turn up eventually.

UTILITY MEASURE
ON SENATE FLOOR
Salem. Ore.. Feb. 21 (U.R)
Senate bill 62, which would pre
vent public utility districts from
buying utility properties outside
of its own district without the
approval of the voters In the
area affected, was on the senate
floor today with a "do pass'
recommendation by the railroads
and utilities committee.
The bill was Introduced by
Sen. Merle R. Chessman, Astoria
and Rep. Ralph Moore, Coos
county. It has been hotly contest
ed by some PUD representatives
an undue restriction on the
rights of the districts to expand.
Sen'. Chessman explained the
bill by saying that it would pre
vent the successful accomplish
ment of an attempt similar to
that made by the Hood River
PUD In 1943 when it tried to
float a $173,000,000 bond issue
to buy Portland other utility
properties. Hood River voters
turned down the proposal. It it
had carried, Sen. Chessman said,
the Hood River PUD could have
fixed rates and charges else
where in the northwest without
fear of competition.

FOR THIS YEAR
Washington, Feb. 21 (U.R)
Rations of sugar for home can
ning this year will be smaller
and will be harder to get, the
office of price administration
revealed today.
Under a drastically curtailed
rationing program, 20 pounds
will be the limit of the canning
allowance for one person. Any
one family will be held to 160
pounds of canning sugar.
No ration stamps will be
validated for canning sugar. All
allotments will be made direct
ly by local ration boards. Rations
will be determined according to
an OPA scale of estimates, with
a limit of one pound of sugar
for each four quarts of fruit or
fruit juices. .
Stocks Low .
Major reason for curtailing
this year's program. Price Ad
ministrator Chester Bowles said
is that sugar stocks are the low
est they have been for any Feb
ruary since the war began. The
loose rationing system which
prevailed last year resulted in
an over-usage of 300,000 tons,
OPA said.
The total 1945 home-canning
ration will be 700,000 tons, the
same amount allocated in 1944.
Stamps and certificates for
1,000,000 tons actually were is
sued last year, Bowles said.
