CITY COUNCIL (Continued from Page One) respective use of the sidewalks, and would define the responsibilities of each. The mayor told Anderson that would be notified of the date of any meetings. Charles Minch brought a problem of water to the council. Minch recently bought a home at 345 S. 10th St. from the Maude Gilbert estate, and he said there is no water in the home. City engineer Ralph E. Roop said that any extension of a nearby water main would either have to pass through some private lots or underneath a railroad track, and that according to ordinance the city could pay no more than 50 per cent of the cost. The matter was referred to the council’s water committee and Roop for their investigation. Councilman Lawrence Kohne asked what progress the proposed water main on S. 13th St., w* s making, and Roop explained thßt measurements have been made but he has had no further instructions. Mayor Gerber said he will check into the matter in order to discover the next step to be done to get further progress underway. The water main presently stops at the Sudduth Market on S. 13th St., and persons living between that point and the city limits have petitioned for an extension of the main. Ask Ordinance Mr. and Mrs. Ewell McCreary, owners of the Minch TaxKCIL, asked the council for an ordinance “regulating taxicabs in Decatur.” McCreary said that their attorney Hubert R. McClenahan, was to appear at the meeting with some samples of such ordinances in effect in other cities, but had not done so, and they did not have the samples. The council referred the requested ordinance to the ordinance committee, and McCreary was told to bring the samples to clerk-treasurer Laura Bosse’s office for the committee to obtain. City engineer Roop secretary of the planning commission, told the council the commission met recently and elected Kenneth Hirscby president and James Cowens first vice president. Councilman Kohne said that Dick Mansfield, Sr., has asked him for permission to use a city pole for hanging a light over his used car lot at Monroe and Seventh streets. Kohne said Mansfield will pay the cost of iagtallation and maintenance of the light, and the council gave its approval., u Mrs. Bosse then read the- bills and they were approved, and the council adjourned until the next regular meeting, slated for Tuesday, Feb. 18. PLANSARE (Continued from Page One) port will be more than returned even if the project is not realized because it was invested in real estate and has a guaranteed sale 2tf per cent higher than the purchase price. Welsh said, in his opinion, “the most important concept is that this port project is a longrange necessity for the Chicago area. “The metropolitian area of Chicago would be jeopardized without it,” he said. “Burns Harbor would not be competitive but would complement all other Chicago area port facilities.” Plans for the port were unveiled Tuesday amid charges that two steel companies which will benefit from the port “have done nothing to help” the port commission. Commission Chairman James R. Fleming was critical of the among of cooperation given the commission in its efforts to finance the $92.4 million port to be located between Midwest Steel and Bethlehem Steel Co. plants. Fleming said the steel companies “are waiting for us to build the port at our expense. We intend to build the port for public use and of course the steel companies are part of the public.” His remarks drew objections from some members of the commission. Secretary - Treasurer Clinton Green said the two firms had done all that their contracts required. Green said he did not think that failure of the steel companies to buy bonds which might be issued would delay the construction of the port. Bond banes Studied One financing plan once un-

der discussion called for issuing “A” and “B” bonds with the primary bond issue to be purchased by the public and the “B” bonds by the steel companies. Green said that if the commission is unable to finance construction of the port he felt it should again go to the legislature for funds. The interim report unveiled by Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates, a St. Louis engineering firm, indicated that financing the port would require port revenues of more than $5 million a year if the federal government provided sl6 million for construction of the outer harbor. Without federal assistance, the report said, financing would require $6.4 million a year in revenue. The $92.4 million cost includes the sl6 million federal appropriation and sl2 million for “improvements by or for the account of others.” Much of this consists of inner bulkheads which the two steel companies have agreed to build. To Seek Contracts With reports on the engineer- - ing feasibility of the port in hand, the commission now will seek tentative contracts, with potential users of the facilities. The contracts will be used as a basis of determining the amount of bonds which can be issued. Green said the port “is far more important to the state’s economy” than the Indiana Toll Road and Fleming called it “one of the most important economic projects ever undertaken” in the state. He expressed confidence .it would bring an unparalleled era of prosperity to Indiana: Green said the port would mean 1,600-2,000 new fulltime jobs and an additional payroll of $10412 million a year. He said it would save Hoosier grain producers $500,000 a year in transportation costs and would give the state’s coal mines an additional one million tons a year business.

The President, referring to his new committee on consumer interests, said the consumer now has ‘‘a loud, clear-channel voice at the topmost levels of government.” He said his administration would lead an intensified campaign “to assure that the best practice of the great American market place—where free men and women buy, sell and produce — becomes common practice." • Johnson recommended legislation to: —Extend and clarify inspection authority over foods, over-the-counter drugs, ' cosmetics, and therapeutic, diagnostic and prosthetic devices. Also that cosmetics be tested and proved safe before marketed and that medical devices be manufactured under conditions that assure reliability, safety and effectiveness before they are sold. —Require that labels include warnings against avoidable accidental injury from drugs, cos- ■' Kietics and pressurized containers. •• —Give the Department of Health, Education and Welfare subpoena power in connection with administrative hearings under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. • f ,**4 : ■* , —End the present practice by which pesticides may be >egistered by manufacturers funder protest” before the Agriculture Department has passed upon their safety. > |* —Grant the Federal Tirade Commission authority to Issue temporary cease-and-desist orders at the outset of a proceeding, subject to review, when the commission has good rate on to believe continuation of the practice would cause irreparable injury to the public. —lnsure that the consumer has access to information necessary to make a rational choice among competing package —Require all lenders and extenders of credit to disclose to borrowers in advance the actual amount of their commitment and the annual rate of interest they will be required to pay. —Broaden the laws requiring full disclosure of information 1 about securities listed on secur--1 ities exchanges to cover purchasers of ‘‘over-the-counter” securities who now have no such protection. k t ■ ■*- *— ' " *■ " i are constructed they will ini elude, in addition to the harbor and breakwaters, grain elevators, a sugar refinery, coal • handling facilities, warehouses, i administrative and utility buildL ings and highway and railroad i facilities and connections.
