been a stand off month for
the stock market in the past,
according to Kenneth Ward
of Hayden, Stone & Co.
Since 1900, he says the
Dow-Jones Industrials have
reached their annual high or
low only once during the
month.
Ward offers three reasons:
Summer vacations are in full
swing; many investors prefeff
to wait until after Labor Day
to get a better view of the
fall business picture before
committing fiiemselves either
waO in the market; the set
backs of 1029, 1937 and 1946,
were initiated forcefullly in
September.ound finally a pres
idential campaign always in
creases the uncertainty.
Reynolds & Co. recommends
Corning Glass Work fiO a
long term growth, although
the issue's current market ap
praisffi is high. The stock has
a number of important fea
tures that distinguish it from
many issues selling at similar
high price-earnings rations to
day, the firm adds.
Stand.'0'd & Poor's says Sea
board Finance is attractive
for its "good current income"
and for future appreciation
possibilities.
The general market is at a
delicate balance and conceiv
ably stocks of weaker and
more speculative character
may sell lower, says the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute's
latest investment bulletin.
However, the institute feels
that the major oils are at
tractive long-pull investments:
t!it ' the utilities, leadiPig
foods, chemicals and well-financed

should constitute substantial
parts of investment portfolios,
under present conditions.

Reds Report Capture
Of American Spy
Moscow (UPD T h e Soviet
Union said today an American-trained
spy was captured
in June while attempting to
cross the frontier into Iran
after a mission inside Soviet
territory.
The spy, identified only as
V. M. Slavnov, was trained at
a U.S. espionage scnool in
West Germany and sent into
the Soviet Union to collect
data on rockets and defense
and Industrial targets from a
hase in Leningrad, the Com

But some indication of the
costs may be obtained by com
paring the costs of sewerage

Fgur Different Costs
Four different costs will
confront each property owner.

now terribly disturbed about
my younger brother.
A few weeks ago his wife,
Grace, came to me and told
me that Hank is having an
affair with a younger woman
and wants a divofte. I was
horrified. They have two ador
able children and I thought
they were very happy. I tried
to talk my brother out of this
madness, but couldn't get to
first base.
Grace also talked to njy
sister, June, trying to get Oelp.
June talked to Hank and he
succeeded in convincing her
that he is doing the right
thing. I am shocked at June!
I feel we should have goth
ing to do with Hank if he
persists in this horrible plan.
O
June D.-As Hank says,
Sandra is only willing to lis
ten to one side of a stor9.
She is ready to put the blame
on the man without taking
all factors into consideration.
I have always been closer
to Hank than Sandra and I
feel I understand mm better.
He has never been happy in
his marriage. He didn't want
it in the first place and was
more or less trapped into it.
He and Grace have little in
common and he has found her
emotionally unresponsive.
I am pleased that Hank has
managed to finO some happi
ness. In any case I wouldn't
turn my back on my own
brother, no matter what he
did. Grace has been very stu
pid in trying to line us up on
her side.
The Comcil: We agree that
Grace 1 ,n't been particular
ly wise in going for help to
her sisters-iO-law. If loyalty
to wife and children has so
little meaning for Hank, his
sisters' views are unlikely to
be of grer.t concern to him.
However, we don't blame
Grace for reaching out for
any possibility of aid in her
terrible trouble.
The question here is really
the attitude the sisters should
take. We think Sandra is per
fectly justified in feeling as
she des, but she is wrong
in attempting to fni a fam
ily boycott against her broth
er. She has told him how
she feels. That is sufficient.
If she del not want.anything
iuriner to do witn him mat
is also undersU-'nuat.'e and
fair enough, but i." is not her
responsibility to make an out
cast of him.
On the other hand, we think
Jum is taking too much upon
herself by giving her brother
sympathy and encouragement.
The stgry he gives her is not
necessarily complete or true.
Eveg if it were, June is not
in a position to act as an
objective adviser. It may well
be that her brother will even
tually regret the course he
has chosen and she will bear
the brunt of his resentment
for encouraging him to do the
wrong thing.
In such a case, it is best
for the family to stay clear
of the situation. If they refuse
to become involved, Grace
and Hank may be forced to
take their problems lei those
who can be more helpful, like
a clergyman or a family
agency.

age drain from his home to
the street line. This will cost
about $2 per foot if it is con
tracOjd, Thorpe said, or 37
cents per fool for concrete
pli personal labor if the
tsyhomeowner d'
ecides to lay it
himself.
The second cost is that ot
the connection line from the
street to the later sewer laid
under the street. This is a fiat
rate which amounted to
$72.54 in the Berrydale dis
trict and S85 in the Kenwood-
GraQdiQiew arOl.
Earii property owner is
charged the same fee regard
less of the length of the con
nection line.
Third Charge
The third charge is for the
lateral sewers. This charge is
assessed according to the num
ber of front feet which a lot
contains. In the Berrydale
district the cost per front foot
was $2 35. In the Kenwood-
Grandview district it was
$2.75.
The final sewerageQxpcnse
is for the trunk scwtQ; and
other installations needed to
provide service to the general
area. Oince these facilities
serve everyone equally, the
charge is made on a per acre
or per lot basis.
Determines Size
The ciQ first determines
the size of an Qverage lot in
the area. This lot (about 17,
000 square feet in the Berry
dale area) then becomes the
basic unit for assessment. Lots
over the average size pay on
an acreage basis.
Assessments in the Berry
dale district were $74.20 per
3t or $190.29 per acre if the
lot was greater tran l (,uuu
square feet. In the KcnwoodQ
Grandview area, the assess
ment was $107.93 per acre.
The assessments in the two
areas varied greatly. Greatest
difference was in the acreage
assessment - a difference of
$92.36 per acre for the two
areas.
The difference in final as
sessments in any new area
desiring sewerage could be
just as great, Thorpe said.
First Expense
The first of the four
charges is an oul-of-the-pockel
expense, but the latter thro?
charges may be Bancrofled if
the assessed value of the
property is great enough, Dar-
ell F. Huson, recorder-treas
urer, said.
Under the Bancroft bond
ine nlan. the debt maPbe paid
in 20 equal scPni-annual pay-6
mentsQilus 6 per cent intere.w
on the unpaid balance.
To be eligible for full Ban
crofting, the assessed value of
the property times 4.2 must
equal or be more than the
arSbunt of the t&bt, Huson
said.
If it is less than ihe debt,
Huson said, then the property
owner may pay me aiiiurente
and Bancroft the rest.

Another reason for improv-;

has been the reallocation c!?

This, in combination with
the bright prospects for final
