Sewer System To Cost Home Owners 837 (Concluded from page 1) quired to raise the additional $291, 000 required for the sewage disposal program. Revenue bonds amounting to ap proximately $200,000 would be re tired by a sewer tax, which would cost water patrons about what their yearly water bills now total. In other words, a minimum water bill of $12 for a year would entail pay ment of an additional $12 for sewer charges necessary to retire the bonds and pay for cost of operating tne plant. The remaining $91,000 would be retired by special assessment against each lot in town, amounting to about $9 per year. General obligation bonds and the special assessment would bf for 20 year periods, and the revenue bonds would run for 25 years.

Bluffton area corn production, which apparently will set new rec ords this fall, may be sharply re stricted next year by government controls. This season’s corn crop has been favored by almost ideal growing conditions, and district farmers say they never have seen prospects better for a bumper yield. Everywhere throughout the area tall stands of corn growing rank in the field re flect the stimulus of favorable weather. Many farmers, who recently re ceived their new government wheat allotments, had planned- to put next summer’s surplus acreage in corn, but indicated federal restrictions may result in a hitch in the pro gram. Rich farmland surrounding Bluff ton comprise one of the major corn hog producing areas of the state, and as a result corn grown here rarely is sold on the market. In stead it is fed to hogs and market ed in the form of livestock. Await Developments How much effect government con trols may have on hog feeding will depend on the degree of restrictions, farmers say, and a definite picture of the situation will not be avail able until government announcement of 1950 plans. Possibility of government control crept into the headlines this week with announcement that the govern- ment could own enough corn a year from now to feed near y a thi of the ilation’s livestook for a full year. Bumper Corn Crop This Summer May Bring Government Controls Next Year Th is prospect fed spt•culat ion that the jgovernment vill firn 1 11 11 ssary to ?sort to preiductio 1 contro Is on the 1950 corn ron prevent be ing overwhelmec nc sui A by 1 feed grain US. agricultui e dep irtment rt pointed out la st week that this year’s corn crop ooks as if it will fall only n-ee ?r cent short of equailing tlu rucoi 1948 yield of 3,650,000,000 bushel SURPI.I -s Gr )WS The estimated crop, plus a carry over of 800,000,000 bushels from last year, would provide a total corn supply of 4,338,000,000 bushels for the feeding season beginning Oct. 1. This is 1,158.000,000 bushels more than the agriculture department ex pects will be used domestically and exported. It also was pointed out that the government already has more than 500,000,000 bushels tied up under 1948 price support operations. A year from now the amount un der price support could be double that figure, and the government’s present support price is around $1.46 a bushel. If controls are invoked, they could take the form of acreage al lotments or marketing quotas. Quo tas, much more restrictive in their effect on production than allot ments, require approval of at least two-thirds of the growers in a ref erendum. In the past allotments have been used to restrict output. Swimming Championship First amateur open swimming championship was held September 30, 1877, cn the Harlem river, New York City.
