was installed six weeks ago and it
was necessary to shut it down un-
til it had been checked by the matf-
ufacturer Councilman Don Jordan entered

fluorides in the water until it is
determined if the automatic equip-
ment is needed and until the plant
operator has a mask for his own
protection Powers seconded the
motion which was adopted unani-
mously The special meeting next week

Jobless Increase
Halted In March
WASHINGTON OP) — U n e m-
ployment slowed appreciably in
March while tot a 1 employment
showed the first over all gain
since the downward trend in jobs
began last year the government
renorted today
The March unemployment fig-
ure rose 25000 to 5198000 The
February figure was 5172000
Employment increa3ed by 323-
000 — from 61988000 in Feburary
to 62311000 in midMarch
The March unemployment total
was the highest in 16' years but
the increase in the number of
jobless was down considerably
from the 700000 jump in February
and the one million plus rise
in January The 62311000 jobs
figure for March compared with
the total of 66 pillion for October
and the all-time high of 67200000
in July just before the recession
began
Administration officials took the
new figures as a heartening sign
in their battle against the reces-
sion even though March normal-
ly is a month in which unemploy-
ment decreses from 100000 to 200-
000 rather than increasing as it
did this March
One significant aspect of the
latest unemplo3ment and employ-
ment figures announced jointly by
the Commerce and Labor depart-
ments was that the number of
workers on the job part-time be-
cause of slack work reached a
record high for the period since
