tion VIII Force Relief for Realty.
The aims OF the Taxpayers and Ten
ants Protective League. which was or
ganized recently. were explained yester-
day in q statement issued by Clarence
II. Kelsey of the Title GUARANTEES and
Trust Company. who is treasurer OF the
league. Mr.. Kelsey said:

on taxation OF the Advisory Council OF
Real Estate Interests, Of which Albert
@. Milbank In chairman. That COM
mittee. with the aid OF experts and with
the report Of the committee appointed
by the National Tax Association to pre-
pare a plan of a model system of State
and local taxation before II, is working
out programme for an improved tax
law which Il Is hoped will appreciably
reduce the proportion Of the total tax
levy paid by real estate and devise other
sources OF revenue to take the place OF
that proportion OF the burden which IL
taken of real estate II Is hoped that
'ts programme will be accepted by the
Legislature.
There have been IN the past a num-
her OF these committees on taxation
which have made very careful and
sensible reports. but nothing has come
OF them because apparently the voters
we're not interested and did not make an
effort to have the recommendations
adopted. II Is expected that thousands
OF taxpayers and tenants who in the end
help pay the heavy taxes will so organize
in this league and 80 exert their infiu-
ence and exert II In the terms Of votes

made committee will have a careful

Lambert thinks, the space there will be

Another economical movement which
Ii indicated In the trend Of suburban
home building is the reduction Of the
upkeep to minimum The future home
In expected to have less carpentry work
and more masonry work than during
any period OF development In the past.
Bubble stone chinneys, stone founda-
lions Tor house and porches, cement
blocks and stucco, will perhaps form the
chief building materials. What timber
is used will be about the windows and
doorways. II is not beyond reason 70
expect to find interiors anished with
some modern composition. Intended to
give a maximum of service and require
the least repairs. New flooring ma
terials arc as likely TO be introduced
into the modern home as metal ceilings.
Plaster may ind as a substitute heavy
pressed cardboard panels.
These new IDEAS are partly brought
about by the fact that paint and paint
ers ars~hard to get and cost a lot Of
money, The reduction of the amount
or timber used lessons the need Of these
two materials. The reason for the
change is apparent from the facts that
paint which used to be bought for $3.50
to sl.76 a gallon now cost about $3.50
gallon. A painter would apply It for
from 50 to S3.26 a day, while the wage
scale to-day ranges between IS and SO
The new era In country home building
which Is strongly indicated, is not only
due to the unusual labor conditions
caused by the war. but II seems that
the whole universe has been awakened
and is prepared to do things-even build
homes-in an entirely new way.
