Better Business Conditions In Most
Industries In Arizona Predicted
For Near Future By Phoenix C. C.
PHOENIX. May 9 (U.P.) A
decidedly optimistic view of busi
ness conditions in Arizona was
taken today by the Phoenix Cham
ber of Commerce.
The chamber reported in
creasing demands in the state’s
major industries—farming min
ing and livestock—and predict
ed the near future would pro
duce better business conditions
in most industries in the state.
Irrigation waters in dams has
reached record highs and range and
livestock records are in the best
condition in years, the report said.
Hie national defense program
demands have decreased unem
ployment and increased payrolls. A
corresponding increase in mining,
agricultural and industrial employ
ment has developed, the review in
dicated.
The forthcoming $32,000,000 ex
pansion program at Port Huachuca
alone will provide work for thou
sands of men, the chamber said.
