Smith Sets Evening Class Schedule At 8 4 percent, the unem ployment rate was down sharply from the second quarter level of 8.9 percent but was still much higher than a year earlier.

After declining by nearly 2.6 million during the 6-month period ended in March, 1.2 million persons have obtained jobs in the subsequent months.

Applications for the grnts were approved in accordance with the Clean Water Bond Act of 1971. Voters approved the issuance of $150 million in clean water bonds in a 1972 referendum. State grants provide only a portion of the total project cost. Most of the financing comes from local sources with some projects receiving federal assistance, though the amount of federal grant money has decreased during recent months. sured by the monthly survey of establishments-4-rose in July by 90,000 from the June low of 76.3 million (as revised). However, increased strike activity kept an estimated 95,000 more workers off pay rolls than in the previous month.
