W. R. BROWN, * W. J. DUVALL, Dated Nov. 16, 1927 Administrators. 12-8-4tc Babson Park, Mass., Dec. 7. : —Dur ing the past few weeks,. Mr. Babson has been making a survey of the dif ferent sections of the country regard ing the building situation as it exists at the present time. In this connec tion he has consulted the leading chambers of commerce as well as mak ing as extensive personal study. His conclusions are as follows : • General Buildlhg Declining “Facts show very clearly that build ing, in the general sense, is falling off. This. is not in accordance with ; many published statistics, but the rea son is that these building statistics include road building, bridge building, and the building of court houses, school houses, etc. Public building is increasing, but private building is de clining, and one generally has in mind Iprvate building when discussing j building in general. Current figures I show a falling off in connectioh’wkh ; the building of factories, office struc tures, hotels, and apartment houses. Furthermore, I believe that 1928 will show a falling off in the building of j small stores The building of smsdl homes, how they are not they get along with their' present home. (3) Small homes, used by wage-workers. The building of these homes depends largely on the employment situation, although pro hibition has been a great factor and still is a great factor today in causing many small homes to be built by wage workers. | „ “As the employment situation is very closely allied with general bus iness,. this means that building in 1928 will largely depend on general busi ness conditions in 1928. If employ ment continues good as at present, a large number of small houses will con tinue to be built. At the present time the Babsonchart shows business to be normal. I cannot close a discussion of the building situation without refer ring to the direct relationship between home ownership and good citizenship. The renter of a home ought to be a good citizen, but he often is a bolshe- vist at heart. When a than owns a home, however, he becomes a loyal citizen. As that great labor leader, William B. Wilson, so often said, ‘No man was ever known to raise the flag of anarchy over his own hearthstone.’ For Men, Women and Children EVERY DEPARTMENT IN THIS LARGE STORE IS BRIM MING OVER WITH IDEAL AND ACCEPTABLE CHRIST MAS GIFTS- * SHIRTS ever, has held up specially well.

Fusthernsoro, 1928 will also make a good showing along these lines. Building Active In South “Although building, at the present time, is either falling off or else at a standstill in many sections, I find that Jmany of the Southern and Southwest ern states are holding up well. Many of the cities in the states of Texas, Ok lahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Georgia are holding their own in the building lines. It is further interesting to note that much of this new building is in the form of small houses. “Among the several other states that have shown good reports for building, are Arizona, Colorado, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Ohio, some sec tions of New York state, and New Jer sey. Reports from Wilmington, Del., indicate that the number of building premits for this year will be greater than for any year since 1919. The city showing the greatest increase in building is Beaumont, Texas, while Tulsa, Okla., Phoenix, Ariz., Pueblo, Col., and Davenport, Iowa., show large gains. Other cities showing consider^ able gains are Hartford, Conn., Buffa lo and Syracuse, N. Y., Allentown and Lancaster, Pa., Augusta and Macon, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Nashville, Tenn., Minneapolis, Minn., Boise, Idaho, and Long Beach, Cal. The principal Cana dian cities with building gains are Ed monton, Montreal, and Toronto. Good Road Building “I note with interest the Iffrge sums of money being expended at present for the building and maintenance of the highways of the country. Many sections are today putting in fine roads and in this way attracting bus iness through tourists, etc. Good roads are one of the best means of get- jting business. These improved high ways draw new people who build homes and open new lines of business; in this way the investment is made good While we as motorists may not like the ‘gasoline tax’ it is, neverthe less, a fact that an increasing num ber of states are adopting this method to help finance state road construction and maintenance; and it undoubtedly removes some of the burden from the general tax payers to those who use | the highways. In principle it is sim ilar to charging toll for the use of a canal or bridge. “The state of Texas is spending large sums on its roads and in reports from several cities in Texas, I find this to be one of the largest expendi tures of the year. Alabama is also spending a great deal as a bond issue of $25,000,000 is reported for the building and maintenance of its roads. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., reports more road building than for years. There is also considerable jnoney v bethg spent for . roads in California, Nebraska, Wiscon sin, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Every road newly constructed or improved is a stimulant to the building of individual residence houses. Good roads and the automobile have played a large part in the development of surbQrban prop erty. Building and General Business “Building is divided into three groups. (1) Speculative building, Yn- 1 eluding building for investment. This depends very largely on the cost and ease of borrowing money. Although money rates are low at the present time, banks are showing more discrim ination. (2) General residence build ing, with special reference to homes selling from $20,000 upward. This character of building depends largely on the general prosperity of the coun try. That is, the profit which people are making. When people are pros perous they build a good home.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 3. — Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent will sus pend publication with its December issue, it was announced today from the executive offices of the. Ford Mo tor company. The magazine, which said it cater ed to the “neglected truth,” once had 700,000 circulation. Rather than sell the property, it is said, Ford ordered the magazine to refuse further sub scriptions. The Dearborn Independent was pur chased J>y Henry Ford early in 1919 and from that date had a steadily in-' creasing circulation. Ford - dealers i were its agents and were urged to sell a subscription with every car. It was; this publication that carried the sen sational Jewish articles on which Aaron Sapiro sued Ford for $1,000,000 and later, after the case had been de clared a mistrial, was settled out of court by apalogies by Ford to the Jews in general and Sapiro in partic ular.
