How Much For Roads
In Proposition No. 2
Bob Blodgett, Teller business
man and candidate for re-election
to the state House of Representa
tives, is working on clarification
of Bonding Proposition No. 2,
which comes before the voters on
Nov. 8. This proposition is for
State General Obligation Ferry
and Road Bonds to the tune of
$23,000,000. Blodgett states that at
the time the bonding program was
set up it was understood that
part of this money was to go to
Highway 97, Fairbanks to Nome.
He would like some assurance
from candidates of other parts of
the state that they will support
the Fairbanks-Nome road from
this bonding proposition for $5
million. This question was also
raised last week at the Chamber
meeting by Robert Scott. The
voters should know what they
will be getting for the $23 million
in Bonding Proposition No. 2!

Economists Say
U.S. Entering
Mild Recession
By STERLING F. GREEN
HOT SPRINGS, Va., W) — In
dustry economists today advised
the government’s Business Ad
visory Council that the country
is entering a mild and probably
brief business recession.
The report predicted the decline
would cut into total production
not more than about 2 per cent
and would end by mid-1961. The
study was made especially for the
BAC’s fall meeting this weekend
with Secretary of Commerce
Frederick H. Mueller and other
high government officials.
Whether the council itself —
made up of the heads of scores
of the country’s biggest corpora
tions—would agree with the find
ings of its own panel of profes
sional economists was a question
to be settled later.
