For the calendar year 1945, the record reveals that borrowings aggregated $794,740,667, this being the largest total achieved in any of the war years and contrasting with sales of $952,615,173 during the peacetime year 1941. 7/;*?' Awards in subsequent years clearly evidenced the influence of World War II conditions on municipal financing, the totals for the respective periods having been as follows: 1942, $523,704,607; 1943, $435,223,191; 1944, $638,909,818. Nor was its incidence materially less in degree throughout the recent year, despite the substantially larger aggregate of financing in that period. For as the record shows, ap¬ proximately $300,000,000 of the 1945 output of $794,740,667 was con¬ centrated in the two months of January and March, when borrowings attained proportions that sharply belied the average monthly degree of activity. Thus the sales in January, for example, footed up to $121,231,497, largely in consequence of the placement of a $75,000,000 issue by the City of Neto York. And in March when the volume was no less than $173,983,899, the figure included such transactions as $110,000,000 by the Triborough Bridge Authority and $26,000,000 by the Port of New York Authority. ■ * 7. ' ' 4 Fact of the matter is that although World War U%ame to; a close in August last year, it was not until the closing month5 of December that the volume and character of municipal financing was in keeping with peacetime expectations. In this period, sales amounted to $82,195,838, all but $2,587,400 of which was for new construction pur¬ poses. The latter amount represented debt refunding and was vir¬ tually infinitesimal in comparison with the similar type of financing consummated in each of the preceding months of the year. '^UjV This to the contrary, it is a fact that the volume ofjnew capital borrowing during 1945, as distinguished from refunding operations, was substantially greater than for any of the preceding war years.
