[. |. BROWN HERE
 FOR A AFEW DAYS
Is Engaged in Big Residence Development Project in
 New York

Eugene L. Brown is in Birmingham for few days from New York. where he has been engaged in some extensive development of residence property. He antici pates that his work in the east will keep him there for probably six months longer.
 The Woodward Brown company is al present building 100 residences of a new type which are being sold for 5000 and as MT. Brown says, they are going like hot cakes"
 Every city in the country is in the same predicament as Birmingham re- gardng houses,H said MT. Brown For four years there has been no building and even with normal construction con- ditions it would take four of five years to catch up with the demand because of the natural growth of the country. This, of course, means a steady increase in the price of building materials and we may expect it to cost considerably more to build a house next year than it does this year.
 "I have recently made two trips to Washington in the interest of a meas ure which I think we should all get behind TOT l believe 1t Will do more to stimulate building than anything else. The measure provides that money up to $40.000 loaned for new construction work shall be exempt from taxation. The real basis for the slow resumption of building operations is the fact that the money is not available from those who have previously financed such construc- tion. Money that used to go for this purpose now goes into Liberty Bonds and other tax exempt securities. The measure proposed will bring into the building field the smaller investors and will at once stimulate this line of in- dustry.
 Our work in New York is progress ing in highly satisfactory shape. The hundred houses we are now building constitute a twelfth of the property which we expect to develop. We think we have selected type of house that is going to prove ideal and so far our judgment is borne out by the excellent demand for the new homes"

London, Aug. 2. A remarkable
revelation of the influence of an
American trust over the British boot
and shoe industry was made in the
house of commons this afternoon dur
ing debate on the second reading OF
the patents and designs bill.
Rejection was moved by JohnfWal-
lace on the ground that the bill did
not deal adequately with the tyranny
of foreign trusts operating in this
country. He proceeded to show how
the United Shoe Machinery company
of America had secured domination
of the British boot and shoe making
industry through it's offshoot, the Brit
ish United Shoe Machinery company
Of Leicester.
He said the parent company con-
trolls 90 per cent of the trade in Amer
lea. Through its subsidiary it controls
the British trade. The trust supplies
machinery to British boot manufac-
turers only on lease, under very oner-
Gus terms. once a manufacturer gets
into the meshes OF this company he
has no way of escaping, said Mr. Wal
lace, who declared this condition as
intolerable.

This is the first time in many years
