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

the uplifting of humanity.
"The Christian Endeavorers, reallz

to bring about eventually, a warless
world." the resolution rends.
Divisions Scored.
The resolutions commended to the

Trade at Home’
Policy of Bluffs
1 Vot Followed
Report of Iowa Uni. Exten
sion Department Recom
mends Several Changes
—Outlook Optimistic.
Merchants and other citizens of
Council Bluffs who are loudest in ad
vocating the policy of "trade at
home" do not consistently follow
their own preaching, according to the
report of W. F. 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.
Council Bluffs stores *draw trade
from an approximate radius of 30
miles, in which there are about
3,800 farmers w ith a total income of
$3,800,000 to be spent in such trade.
These and the incomes of other
classes in the trade area total about
$25,600,000.
Bristol states' that Omaha sharply
limits the drawing power of Bluffs
stores on the west and even reaches
into Iowa territory. His report sets
forth that the Bluffs is rapidly
growing and that its future as a
community is optimistic on accopnt
of its natural resources, capital,
ideal location for manufacturing sites,
excellent railroad facilities and sev
eral other good possibilities.
Need I nion Station
The expert states that the most ur
gent needs in the community are s
union station, adequate busline facili
ties from railroad stations, a new
hotel, a more complete assortment
and selection of merchandise and
schools for clerks to Increase per
sonal service. He says that prices
