Slowing Of Building in u S.
Hurts Canadian Lumber

Present conditions in the British
Columbia lumber and shingle in
dustry are far from satisfactory.
says the American consul general
at Vancouver in a report to the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. One by one the mills
are closing, and it Is said to be only
a matter of a few weeks before so
per cent of them will not be oper-
ating. Many cancellations of orders
from the United States and Canada
are given as an important element
in present conditions. The amount
of lumber in stock includes a large
amount of spruce and hemlock,
which is being offered at tempting
prices, the consul general says. II
is the same with shingles. 1t Is
figured that before December there
will be few mills producing.
The cutting down of credits by
the banks, the increase in freisht
rates and the suspension of build
ing operations all over the country,
due largely to the high cost of la
Dor, are among the causes that have
led up to present conditions.

LOAN BANKS
Loan Association Officer
Denies Body Opposes
Proposed Law.

RESPONSIBLE building and loan in
terests throughout the United States
are enthusiastic in their support of
the Calder-Nolan bill recently InIrU-
duced in Congress for the establish
nent of a system of home loan
hanks" says Charles O'Connor Hen
Messy, chairman of the Federal leg
islatfve committee of the United
states League OF Local Building
and Loan Associations, according to
the New York Herald.
Hennessy issued his statement
from his offices at Is Park Row,
New York. in denial lof an intima-
tion in a recent interview attrio-
uted to Senator Kenyon, who is a
member of the Reconstruction Com
mittee, of which Senator Calder. the
sponsor of the bill, is chairman.
Senator Kenyon was quoted as in
timating that the home loan, or
building loan, bank plan was op-
posed by the building loan associa-
tions of the country.
The United States League of Lo-
cal Building and Loan Associations
has come out heartily for the bill,
which is now pending in the FL
nance Committee of the Senate, says
Mr.. Hennessy. The only substan-
tial objection ever raised against
the plan, he adds, concerns the ex-
emption from taxation provided for
the bonds to be issued under the
system. Mr.. Hennessy then pro-
ceeds with brief statement of the
machinery through which the home
loan banking system will be carried
out:
The bill, he says, establishes a
bureau OF Federal building loan
hanks in the Treasury Department
at Washington. headed by a super
intendent of banks. Eleven Fed
eral districts are created. in each
of which a bank is to be organized
The capital stock of the bank is
to be subscribed for and eXclu-
sively held by domestic building
and loan associations OF the dis
trict where such associations are
under proper State supervision.
when the demand for home pur-
chase mortgage loans made upon
any building and loan association
which is a member of the district
bank is in excess of the associa-
tion's available funds 1t may obtain
loans from the Federal building
loan bank by depositing first mort
cages upon dwelling houses with
the district registrar as collateral
for the loan. The collateral shall
at all times exceed the amount OF
loans outstanding by at least IS per
cent The building loan bank Is
authorized under the proposed law
to issue tax free bonds for raising
the money to be loaned to the
building and loan associations who
have deposited the collateral.
The proposed system requires
that a borrowing association will
liquidate its Indebtedness to the
Federal building loan bank by an
nuaI equal instaiments of principal
along with the interest upon the
loan, and the bonds to be issued are
payable by a similar system or
amortization
The design of the system, briefly
is to provide for the small home
seekers Of the cities, towns and viii

LUMBER MART

Competition in East Keen,
But Prices Anything
But Uniform.

The increase in the volume of in
quiries' reported in previous weeks
has resulted In an increase in the
volume Of lumber orders. with the
result that sellers are more opti-
mistic and the market 10 steadier.
says the weekly report of the Amer
ican Lumberman. Prices on South
ern pine have not shown material
change; here and there q slight in,
crease is made and here and there
concessions are made to bring about
prompt sales. One large west coast
operator who also Is interested in
manufacturing on the Pacific Coast.
writes:

ern pine through our Affiliations and
I think practically all have now
placed their orders for the Southern
pine they will need for spring trade
Indicating that our buyers figure
that Southern pine has touched bot

This opinion is particularly inter-
esting coming as IL does from pro-
ducer who is not interested direct

UNDERSTAND
BETTER NOW
New York Court Decisions
Bring Landlord and Ten
ant Together.

A better understanding between
tenant and landlord is becoming
more general In New York City, ac-
cording to the Real Estate Invest
ors. Inc, the latest organized body
of apartment house owners and
realty investors. Evidences Of this,
the realtors say, Is to be found In
the recent decision. of Supreme
Court Justice Hotchkiss, in which
the court declared Chapter s47 of
the new rent laws unconstitutional.
Another proof, they say, is the in
dorsement by the Board of Rules of
the Municipal Court Justices of two
forms of stipulations under which
rentals can be paid without affect
ing the rights OF either tenant or
owner.
The realtors are authority for the
statement that more than s1.000.0oo
in rentals has been withheld by
tenants because of their misunder-
standing of the nature of the new
laws. The decision and the action
of the Justices Of the Municipal
Courts. they say. will clarity the
situation.
Commenting on these develop
ments, Julius II. Zieser. chairman
of the law committee of the Real
Estate Investors of New York, Inc.
says:
The so-called housing bills are
in reality rent-fiXing measures. The
legislature seems to have miscon-
ceived its duty. 1t intended to en-
act laws which would increase hous-
ing. The actual effect Of the bills
will be to decrease housing.
Now that everybody seems to
have a roof over his head, we must
determine the terms under whicn
one may maintain the roof. The
legislature thought that a judge or
tenantry jury should fix those terms
and acted on the theory that an
emergency exists. When Judge
Francis NJ. Scott was asked what
he had to say about emergency, he
said it would be over on Novem-
Der 2.
Those who are endeavoring to
support the new legislation main
tain that IL is based on emergency
and police power. Our organiza-
tion maintains that no emergency
exists, and that the use Of police,
intended as direct remedy, is in
this case taking away the means OF
relieving the situation

Small l-Home Ownership
Era Here; Form Plans
To Speed 1t On

1t is the era of the small-house
builder.
Continued delay in tenement con-
struction is turning control Of the
housing situation to own-your-home

World. New private dwellings for
one to three families promise to be-
come the all-important considera-
tion throughout the metropolitan

and enthusiasts who look to them
for eliminating the big rent squeeze
say $4,000 should and could be built
within two years at an average cost
of $1,000 each. or a total OF SzlO'-
100000. the entire investment with
land reaching s25O.0O0,ooO. They
would make homes for an average
Of ten persons each, or 100000.
The idea now Is to urge every
family with savings TO build or buy
a home, thus relieving the general
housing shortage and increasing
the supply Of money engaged In
residential construction. The OPERA
tor who can build a house and sell
1t to a homeseeker gets his money

Measures to Help.
Many measures are under way TO

this week that IL Is preparing a
