Cost of Living Up Again
WASHINGTON (tfl — The cost
of living rose in July by one half
of one per cent to a record high
for the second consecutive month,
the Labor Department reported
yesterday.
With food and gasoline leading
the way, prices advanced for most
major types of goods and services.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said the July Consumer Price In
dex was 107.1, compared to the
1957-59 base of 100.
This means it cost $10.71 in
July to buy the same items that
could be bought for $10 in the
1957-59 period.
The July index standing was
1.5 per cent above a year ago,
primarily, the Bureau said, be
cause of higher prices for food,
housing, medical care and tobacco.
