TAXING LARGE INDUSTRIES FROM CITIES, SURVEY SHOWS CHICAGO, June 29.—With motion pictures, radio and, numberiess de- vices that have come along with the electrical the country no longer is lonesome place,” and with transmissino of power by hydro- electric energy an accomplished fact, manufacturing is retreating from the congested, expensive districts to the open areas, according to a bulltein of the Illinois Committee on Public Utility Information. “The new development is as natu- ral as it is contradictory to the early methods of our national growth,” states the bulletin. ‘“‘Waterpower, the greatest of all our undeveloped natural resources, is making the change not only possible, but eco- nomically desirable. And because it is desirable for that reason, the process of decentralipation has com- menced. “As industri change their sites, leaving the greate centers for the open spaces, there will go with these institutions the people whose labor makes them possible. These obser- vations are proved by public reports, and ‘big business’ is moving with the taritt!,"” Swedish Liberals Have Dry Leaning STOCKHOLM, June 29.—Prohibi- tion as a plank in the liberal plat- form is responsible for a reduction in liberal party representation in the lower house of parliament from 110 members ten years ago to 39 at the Present time.

New Dredge to Save Millions In Ohio River Work, Report CINCINNATI, June 29.—When the new government owned hydraulic dredge, now under construction at Charleston, W. Va., glides down the skids into the Ohio river, some five months hence, a large governme Project will have started on its way. This dredge is designed to eliminate @ number of proposed dams in the Ohio river, which are now a part of the 54 government river dam projects on that stream. If it does what gov- ernment engineers confidently expect of it a saving of many millions of dollars will be realized. This boat is the realization of the dream of C. B. Harris, a government engineer who recently died at his home here. He supervised the draw- ing of the plans. The dredge, named after Mr. Harris, will be 175 feet long and 50 feet wide The suction and discharge pipe will be 24 inches in diameter and operated by a Diesel engine of 1,000 horsepower. The pipe will run fore and aft, and the sand, gravel and other material sucked from the bottom of the river will be emptied into barges at the stern.
