PEOPLE BUILD HOMES
BECAUSE OF RENTS
Gy A~~nciated Press

tI5N 2S'DtldIcu lItSSJ
Pittsburgh, Feb. 2S.-MOre than
10000 Pittsburgh families bought
their homes during the past year, not
because they were particularly anri-
Gus to own their own homes, but &C
cording to real estate men, they had
to buy or move. This is continuing
at the same rate thus far this year
The home buying movement began
two years ago when war activities IN
the mills brought scores of families
into a community where housing ac-
comnodations had been increasingly
scarce for a number of years. Cost
of construction increased and this
curtailed building operations.
Rents have increased in proportion
small houses and apartments showing
highest percentage. Fifty per cent
raises for the coming year are SAID
to be common, while in some instances
100 per cent has been asked and paid
where the occupant could afford it
"The demand in here and the living
places are not is the way one real
estate man explained the situation.
Similar conditions prevail through
out the Pittsburgh district. In some
manufacturing towns industrial cor
porations are building and buying
houses for their men, while in Sharon
Pa, the Chamber of Commerce has
undertaken to finance the construction
of 200 residence.

Just go to work and do it.
If you conclude to put it off
You're pretty sure to rue it.
The task that's hard to dos the one
That needs your first attention,
And, doing it, you may escape
A lot of apprehension.
Pitch in, and do the hard things first,
Let easy ones come after,
Make this your rule, and life will mean
A lot of joy and laughter.
But if you let the hard things go,
Your enemies will taunt you
With serious duties unperformed,
And all your life they'll haunt you.

December 81. the last day OF the

rhe total collections of the Birming-
ham office alone for the last 10 days
OF December, without counting any
thing from the Bessemer office.
amounted to s2502.s15.
1t was also found That the total
rumber of receipts issued at the tax
collectors office up to the close OF the
Years business was 21o0 greater than
la st year, The excess in the number
of receipts and in the amount Of
money paid is, interpreted to mean that
taxpayers have more money and ac-
cordingly have paid the taxes more
promptly this past year than has been
the case In other years.
The tax collector has already made
two remittances to the state and this
morning when the banks open will
rlace something like 100000 more to the
