Means Big Saving The Taylor hoard recommended that the hulls of four new ships on f.avv yard ways be sold "on the stocks" for old metal; that two others, building' under contract in private yards, "be cut up under pres ent contracts and the scrap be dis posed of," and that all other ships be jold to the highest bidder who would be required to give a bond guaran teeing compliance with the terms of the treaty. - On the financial aide, operation of the treaty apparently means a aaving Of about *48,0011,000 to the United States.

Hetllement of tanoeled contracts and other "over head" expenaea incurred while wait ing the action of France was ex pected to materially reduce the Indl gated saving, however. Deferring to plans for settlement ef contracts and subcontracts, the Taylor hoard estimated that the cost to the government, would be around $70,000,000 but Secretary Penby de clared this was "simply a prelim! t.ary estimate and must In no way be characterized aa final."

Exten sion Department Recom mends Several Changes —Outlook Optimistic.

Bristol of the exten sion department of the state unlver sity, who made a detailed retail trade survey of the community this year. The report, which is rather vcl uminous, was received yesterday by Harlia It. Norris, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, under the auspices of which organization the trade survey was made. It goes very thoroughly into the retail situation and makes many recommendations. 11,072 Workers There are 11,072 c orkers In Coun cil Bluffs with a total annual income of $16,236,784.50, the report states, and in addition there are approxi mately 3,000 persons living in the Bluffs and employed in Omaha, who have an annual total earning capac ity of $4,500,000.
