To Be Built in Brighton Ave-
nue. at Cost Estimated at

For the pas twenty weeks THE
EVENING NEWS has published this
building page, urging people to biuld
their W homes and thus overcome
the clutches of the grabbing rent pros
fiteer. No n knows better than the
man who Is paying rent what he is
up against, wee after week, month
after month, year after year., it's the
same old thing always Smelling out a
certain amount for the roof over his
head, n in the end he has nothing
to show for his money but a big stack
of REM receipts.
Many people think 1t is a big prob
lem to become owner of their own
home, but it isn't. One could write
long stories of the advantages of own
ing ones own home n how easy it
Is to purchase property through any
building and loan association, but
rather than do that it is advisable for
everyone to place his or her case be-
fore a real estate broker or the off,,
Gals of some building loan and let
them tell him of thee advantages.
Everything points at the present
time to the fact that there will be
a scarcity of lumber in the next few
months. A well known furniture
dealer in this city said yesterday that
lumber is SO scarce that it is almost
impossible to get furniture. The fact
is that the lumber is not being
brought from the forests because of
the scarcity of wood cutters, and
therefore it is advisable for those who
anticipate building to purchase lum-
Der at the present time even though
they do not intend to build for some
months, for it the shortage takes place
and it surely looks as if it will, the
building can be started at an ytime,
and the supply of lumber will cause
no worriment.
