Speculate on Cheaper Milk.

There is much speculation here upon
the possibility of reduction in milk
prices in Washington as a result of
the cheaper wholesale price agreed
upon by dairymen throughout Mary
land, from which state this city OBJ.
tains considerable of its milk supply
Members of the Maryland State
Dairymen's Association have agreed
to a price of 40 cents a gallon, drop
OF cents. until April l. when an
other reduction will be made.
With 40 cents gallon as the pre-
vailing wholesale price throughout
Maryland, consumers in Washington
are wondering whether the local pre-
vailing price of IT cents quart will
continue.
Although milk quotations are not
contained in the Administrations
weekly fair price list. the administra-
ton has been maintaining close
watch on the situation here and has
been carrying on an investigation to
determine what is a fair retail price
for this commodity. 1t is likely that
a report of this investigation will be
made shortly.

BUILDING EXPERT

HOUSING COMMITTEE
Representative of Huntington Con.

and Other Government Settle.
ments Explain His
System.

Mr.. Poyntz, representing the Mentor
Housing concern of Huntington, w.
Va, spent Thursday in Maysville in
conference with number Of our
prominent business men in regard to
solving the housing problem for Mays
vile.
No question has been more serious
than the question Of furnishing enough
houses for the people of the city. 1t is
known that Maysville could obtain
more factories and plants Of various
kinds should the housing problem be
solved.
Mr. Poyntz's concern is recognized
as one of the leaders in rapid fire
house building. This concern built up
the town of Nitro, W. Va, in very
few weeks and to show how quickly
they could do the work the concern
erected building for the Reynolds
Tobacco Company in Winston Salem,
N. c., within only few hours COM
pleting the entire building in a day.
The conference with the Housing
committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce was very interesting one and
the committee obtained much impor-
tant information that they may have
use for in the near future If housing
program is adopted.
The first move in the solving of the
housing problem for Maysville was
taken this week when the Home Build
ing and Realty Company was incor.
porated. 1t is understood that this
concern hopes and expects to build
a number of first class homes in the
Eastern section Of the city during this
year.
