both of the above; (4) the cost-of-living should be used as
an indicator; (5) wage settlements ,b large "bell weather"
type industries are an indicator; (6 trends . and happenings in
the Metro areaare good indicators,-- discussions with other
managers and government agencies; and (7) the above-items 4,
