To take one example: in the field of packaging, in which Celanese research and experience have developed many outstanding products, the same mate¬ rials developed to serve our armed forces will pass almost unchanged and with but slight delay into peacetime service. With its products tested in the proving ground of war, the company will return to peacetime packaging with a variety of improved as well as new materials designed to provide newer and better wraps and packages. "Many packaging developments will stem directly from war developed applications. In the field of plastics, for example, Celanese Lumarith, because it is tough and lightweight, now goes into Army utility kits, Navy first aid packages, containers for emergency rations, spare parts and drugs. After the war, packages such as these will hold jewelry, powder puffs, fishing tackle. They will become hat boxes, sewing kits, lipstick containers and hundreds of others. ., "Revolutionary new materials have been developed. Such is Lumarith V.

The ships will replace vessels requisitioned for title by the War Shipping Administra¬ tion and will be operated between United States Gulf ports and the East Coast of South America. ' , , ,Waterman Steamship Corp. was given permission to purchase five C-2 type dry cargo ships which are being built for the Commission by the GuJf Shipbuilding Corp., Mobile, Ala. These ships are intended to replace others lost by enemy action, and the Corporation plans to operate them in foreign and domestic trade. 'Y a construction-differential subsidy to assist in the building cost of the three C-3 type vessels was approved by the Commission, The subsidy was set at, 50% of the net construction cost of each vessel, 'or the'amount of the difference between the estimated foreign cost and the actual domestic cost- of construction as determined by the Com¬ mission. whichever is smaller. A 33J/3% differential on the cost of outfitting and equipping each vessel was also approved, i, In addition to allowing the construction differencials the Commission agreed to accept for trade-in credit two Hog Island type passenger and cargo ships acquired by the shipping company in 1929 from the U. S. Shipping Board. A sum of $68, per deadweight ton, or $513,604, was allowed for each vessel. The five C-2 ships are being sold to the Waterman Steamship Corp. at full construction cost, less the cost of national defense features. It is estimated that each vessel being built for the Waterman Corp. will cost $2,700,000.

Annual earnings determined by the basis of an adjustment, eliminating those of abnormally high and low years, were sufficient for a return of 4V2% on $170,185,0004' The applicant's forecast of normal annual earnings, if realized, would make available earnings sufficient for a return of 4,/2% on a capitalization of $166,622,000. ' Clearly, the total of the proposed capital liabilities of the applicant is supported by the showing in the record regarding investment in and \ probable rate-making value, on a physical basis, of the property to be continued in transportation service. There is also support for the proposed securities from an earnings standpoint. As previously shown, :S the proposed capitalization will require for all annual fixed charges not to exceed $1,746,000. The applicant's forecast of $7,498,000 of earnings available would therefore exceed such charges by 45,752,000. A Proposed capital and sinking funds for first mortgage bonds, to be \ paid when earned, amount to approximately $1,950,000. The earnings remaining after fixed charges^ reduced further by this amount, would .be $3,802,000. ^Income mortgage interest and sinking fund, amounting to $2,625,207. would reduce to approximately $1,177,000 the earnings remaining and available for dividendsIf $750,000 be required for a 5% dividend-on the preferred stock, there would remain $427,000 for dividends on the no par common stock. - capital stock (par $100) of the Durham Union shares of capital stock (par $100) of the North Charleston Terminal Co.; $600,000 of first mortgage 4% bonds of the Savannah Union Station Co.; 300 shares of capital stock (par $100) Co.; Station fund V. 160, p. 123.

This amount is considered by the applicant as representative of the earnings available for fixed charges for the A V;. present and foreseeable future, which view we accept for the purposes of this report. The witness testified in detail regarding the bases upon which he considered the 1940 performance of the receivers of the old company would be affected both by prospective increases in the volume of traffic and lessened expenses for operation resulting from improve; ment of plant and equipment made in recent years.

Sales for the period aggregated only $34,020,196 and this figure included loans for refunding purposes, as distin-; guished from new debt creation, in the principal amount of $22,423,000. Again, as in earlier months, a considerable volume of old issues J re-entered the market result of liquidation conducted by private" I public trust funds. Operations of this char- j acter are not included in our compilations as their inclusion would j serve to create an erroneous impression as to war-time debt creation by States and municipalities. As a matter of fact, in some months*' secondary offerings have reached the market in larger amount than the total of new financing negotiated. Judging from the progress of I military operations, particularly in the past few months, the time is institutional sources as a and not too far distant when the States and?local subdivisions will be able J to 1 proceed with numerous improvements and projects which had to be deferred because of war-enforced restrictions and manpower on use of materials Consequently, the prospect is for shortage. a marked expansion in the volume of municipal financing, the bulk of which will be in the new issue category. Returning to market activities in July, the record shows that the largest single new issue financing in the period consisted of $4,815,- Washington Toll Bridge Authority refunding revenue l%s of Sept. 1, 1960. The loan was underwritten by A. C. Allyn & Co., Inc., Chicago, and Associates, the group having acquired the issue in competitive bidding at a price of 100.0107. A development of interest during the month was the failure, on two occasions, of the City of St. Petersburg, Fla., to dispose of an offering of $18,000,000 refunding 000 I I I I J I instance, the city rejected the bids as unsatisfactory. I Initially, it specified that the bidder name an interest rate of not I more than 2V%%. On the second occasion, a rate of up to 3% wastT permissible, which attracted an offer of 98.02 for that rate. Short-term municipal financing in July amounted to $121,625,150, I most of which was accounted for by the City of New York and local I Tn each bonds. housing authorities in various sections of the country. This latter type J appeal to banks for their own investment account. I In the case of housing authority bonds, however, the market is ex- I of debt has its chief and, tremely broad with each new offering, there is a noticeable I improvement in competitive interest among investment banking and I municipal bond firms. 1 *1 Canadian municipal issues awarded in July amounted to $12,- j 142,918, of which $8,750,000 was contributed by York Township, Ont. bonds, issued for refunding purposes, were brought to market by Harrison & Co. of Toronto, and Associates. The City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, accounted for the $1,- These in July. 1949-1973 to a syndicate headed by the First Boston Corp., New York City, at a price of 109.169, a basis of about 1.87%. In addition, an issue of $200,000 2%% water works refunding bonds, due 1945-1954, was taken by the Mercantile-Commerce Bank & Trust Co., St. Louis, and the Commerce Trust Co., Kansas City, in joint account, on their bid 700,000 The city of of United States Possession financing negotiated awarded $1,500,000 2y2% water revenue bonds of 107.891, a basis of about 0.931%.
