men TO build their own homes. In

for some time.

]. r. Spease, representing the Fair.
mont Wall Plaster Company, said that
cement prices were off a little, lumber
had dropped some, but as whole he
did not believe there would be any
low prices in the near future.
ia. Swiger, brick manufacturer, be-
Aeved that brick prices would remain
about the same. Fuel is one Of the
big items III bricking making aud that
remains firm he said.
). L. Burchinall, contractor and build
er, did not see any prospects for any
lower prices In materials. There are
some slight concessions along some
Zines. but as whole there are few re-
auctions. Labor costs hold up the pric-
es on materials.
There is more interest IN the build
ing in Fa'rmont right now than any
time during the past five or six years
declared w. ]. Wiegel. The people
who promised to build homes at the
meeting last Monday night are at
work. Plans are being considered now
and within the next thirty or sixty
days The houses that are soreiy need

Vice President Critchfield OF the Do
nestle Coke Corporation. Cleveland,
says houses will be needed for rs fam.
ilics.
Referring to the gs7 between the
purchase price of property and what
the building and loan association wiz
advance Mr.. Wiegel told how many
factory owners had assisted their en-
ployes IN this regard. He cited H. L.
Hetntzelman, president Of the Monon.

much along these lines for his en-
ployes, In some instances he took

Gently. Only two OF the people lapsed
in payments and these we're due to
deaths in the families and it was i'm
possible for the relatives to keep them
up. There were sufficient payments,
however. to secure Mr.. Sweeney.
Advice to Lot Owners
c. W. Robinson advised lot owners
to sell their property even ii they did
sell it for as much or less than they
paid for t. He believed tnere was
an element OF risk if they held on to
them too long. Recently he conveyed
some property that he lost $50 on.

take stock to the same amount ii any
Fair!nonters wanted to take up the mat
ter. Six years ago he proposed to
erect an apartment house, which would
be a five story modern structure and
str city up tC date with 80 apartments.
The cost at the first time he thouht
about the erection of the building was
$4,000 but now it would be necessary
to oxpeal $4,000.
Building Associations.
George H. Brobst, real estate man,
asked the basis upon which the build
ing ASSOCIATIONS at MOI gantown made
loans. lie understood that the local
building assoc alton had more than 500
people enrolled as members.
NJ. L. Brown, cashier Of the State
bank, who was actively associated with
one OF the building associations in
Morgantowr for many years was call
ed upon and outlined the working OF
the organization at Morgantown. Mr..
Brown ssid the building ASSOCIATION
was fine institution and he paid a
tribute 10 Dr. Casselbury as the father
of the building association movement
in MOrgantown, he having started 1t
some fifty years ago.
No money was lost in loans he sad.
The directors without cents compen
sation had worked diligently and faith
fully. He declared that it takes a
certain amount OF missionary work in
order to get some people to understand
the plan, but when the point is eX-
planned every member including Dor
rowers participate in the profits and
the great benefit is apparent to ali.
In seven years man can have his
home paid for If he keeps up the pay
ments. This he does in place OF pay
ing rent. Mr.. Brown said he believed
that the houses desired were those
that could be erected at a cost Of be-
tween $4,000 and $500. He believed
the apartment house idea as u splendid
ore and outlined how many women de-
sire this form OF / 'ght housekeeping.
G. w. Robinson said that he arose
in the interest OF Fairmont inasmuch
as so much had been said for Morgan
town and Clarksburg. He believed
that the children Of our city should be
encouraged TO save their money and
place it in the building association so
that when they became OF marriage.

He pointed out how land owners
were short sighted in that they
thought about selling land only and
did not stop to calculate that in order
to develop a site it would be necessary
to have homes upon it. II the people

Since Mr.. Blease made his former
announcement he has come in for

by newspapers and by individuals.
Candidates now making the canvass
for the Democratic nomination in the
Seventh district have stigmatized Mr..
Blease's action as a "bolt" in ain eff

reference to these candidates Mr..
Blease, in todays statement, Lays that
