Tho Buy a Home" campaign which

there is every reason to believe that
with more settled conditions and pros

reconstructive period there will be a
general movement to the country.
Apartment house construction Is still
under the restraint of having to get
permission from controlling bodies,
since no operation of any conssquencs
can be carried out which will cost less
than $4,000. Such operations will re-
quiro sanction from Washington. while
operations ut lesser cost, like the
suburban home development. can be
adjusted by local bodies. Where the
cost Is $4,000 or less, which is in the
majority Of cases OF suburban home

the usual building bureau permits.

From the real estate point OF view

to change the Sound steamers from their
present dockage on the North River to

pressing suggestion.

A new policy of protection is to arise

we had been dependent on German
manufacturers. But it was not as
much the profit to be expected that

and individuals who built large man
ufactories. An emergency had been
created. The country needed certain
supplies, both for the purposes of war
and to satisfy domestic demands. The
effort was to meet that emergency
