1t is understood that the County
Commissioners have cut the appro-
priation for publicity in half. Last
year one-half mill was included in
the county budget for this purpose,
and this year the appropriation has
been reduced to one-fourth mill. We
believe the Commissioners have made
mistake. Splendid results were OBJ
tanned from the money spent for ad-
vertising last year. When a good bus
iress man sees that advertising ia
paying, he is more apt to double his
appropriation than to halve it. The
countys business does not differ from
that Of an individual or corporation.
We believe the appropriation should
not have been reduced, even if the
Commissioners felt that they were
not justified in increasing it.

HOUSE SHORTAGE

This is one July when well-in-
form ed persons are not saying that it
"looks as though there will not be
enough houses in Miami next win I
ter. ~. -
There is no guess work about it.
A condition of house shortage is
already here.
Buy or build is the only remedy.
Some cannot buy because of inabil-
ity to produce cash payment and the
expense Of meeting interest on de-
ferred payments.
Others who could build are delay
ing in me hope that market and la
Dor conditions will become more fav-
orab;e.
Meantime there is a chase for rent
al houses--a vertiable grab for the
most desirable ones.
This q is condition prevalent
throughout the country, and one
which the Manufacturers Record used
July as the basis of scathing ar
raignment of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Federal
Reserve Board, charging them with
.he responsibility for breaking down
building operations. The charge is
made that, through action Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, people are unable
- obtain monny from banks for
building purposes. The part played
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion il this blow at construction is
stated 10 be the act of cutting out the
transportation Of building materials
and giving preference to coal
which leads the Record to observe
that 1.-The very life of our government
itself may hang upon whether or not
new and proper vision can be Great
I'd in Washington in regard to these
vital matters"
Possibly the condition as to house
construction is not exactly the same
i'll Miami as in most other cities. Mi
ami has beer growing at tremendous
strides, and the building record has
been amazing, constantly increasing
with the demands. The situation here
is simply that the requirements are
becoming greater than can be met by
the labor and materials which can be
assembled aere, and in spite of the
large number of new houses erected
during the last year there is posi-
tive demand for many more.
! One city in the south is meeting
such a condition by combination of
local capital, and hundreds of cot
tages and bungalows costing from
$500 to 5000 are being erected and
sold on reasonable terms. Such a
plan would meet much favor in Mi
ami, if the money, the labor and the
materials could be assembled on pa
