CONTROL
 MUST CONTINUE
Chairman Clark Gives Views on Inter- state Commerce Commission-Paid Handsomely for Use of Roads but
 Was War Time Expense.

Washington, Nov. 8.--America will never again have private control and operation of railroads unaccompanied by state and federal regulation, Chair man Clark of the interstate commerce commission declared today in an ad- dress at the opening of the National Association of Railway and Public Utilities Commissioners.
 Even if we shall come to govern ment ownership and operation" said MT. Clark, the necessity for a sep arate tribunal with jurisdiction to de- termine questions of reasonableness of charges and alleged discriminations vii be present."
 Was Essential.
 Referring to federal control of the railroads, the chairman said:
 When the final balance sheet shall have been completed, 1t will be found that the American people paid hand some sum for the use and operation of the railroads during the war, but as such use and operation was essen tial as a war measure, we must, think, in fairness, consider 1t as a part of the necessary expense of the war
 Chairman Clark declared that the right of the states to regulatet their internal affairs was recognized thru out the transportation act, and he urged cooperation between the states and federal commissions as authorized by the law.

PLAN OF CITY GOES
FAR AHEAD TO 1850

As compared With realtors who
build houses in many other cities,
those of Flint, Mich, possess GER
tain advantage in that the stability
of their property investments is
somewhat more assured, this be-
cause OF the city plan which is
there in operation, according to the
National Real Estate Journal. The
municipal authorities of Flint SUI
peryise, all subdivisions and see to
it that they conform to the gen.
eral development scheme Of the city
as a-whole.
The Flint city plan is projected
to the year 1860. when. 1t is es-
timated, the population will be close
to 100000. This plan, prepared by
John Nolen, of Cambridge, Mass.
city planner, and Bion ]. Arnold.
Chicago, transportation engineer, is
based upon a thorough survey of
Flint,s needs, made in 1917. The
growth of the city is held down.
or rather raised up, to this city
plan. Shacks, unsightly or inap-
propriate structures. in-adapted
Ithoroughfares, etc. are all tabooed.
Tho realtor at Flint may there
fore. engage in his construction ac-
tivities with a well-founded assur-
ance that the element of chance in
property fiuctuation Is pretty thor
oughly eliminated, at least so far
as relates to those factors of dan
ger that come from possible neigh

Reconstruction Committee of
Senate COmmends Price
Reduction.

The most important phase to the
lumber industry of the recent hear
ings of the United States Senate
Committee on Reconstruction and
Production was the favorable at
titude OF the committee toward
the industry and its commendation
of the fact that the lumber industry
has taken the lead among manu-
facturers of building materials, in
price reductions.
Testimony in MANY places and
many instances was given to the
effect that throughout the lumber
industry, in both hardwoods and
softwoods, prices at the mills had
declined from IS per cent to SO per
cent.
Specific instances. related again
and again. confirmed the oft-repeat-
ed general statements that the
housing needs of the country are
tremendous and the situation IN
some sections is most serious. In
adequate transportation service
difficulty of obtaining banking and
credit facilities, labor shortage and
inefficiency, together with relatively
high costs Of materials and labor
were the reasons given for the
housing shortage and tie-up of con
struction. These conditions were
described in most of the cities VS.
tied by the committee.
In connection with their com.
mendation of the lumber industry
in taking the lead in price reduc-
tions. the committee urged other in.
dustries making building material.

PRESS CONGRESS
FOR TAX RELIEF
SolOns Told Mortgage Money
Should Not Be
Taxed.

Strong pressure is being brought
on Congress by realtors from vari-
Gus parts of the country with a
view to forcing legislation which
will help the home-building situa-
tion. This legislation takes the
form of an amendment to the in
come tax law which would relieve
earnings on real estate mortgages
from the provisions of the tax
legislation.
Richard o. Chittick, secretary Of
the New York City Real Estate
Board and John F. Doyle, a mem
Der of the board, were in the city
during the week. They interviewed
a number of Senators and sought
to impress them with the necessity
of the enactment of such fegisla-
tion at the present session. The
resolution of the legislation COM
nittee of the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards, signed by
realtors representing all parts of
the country. was called to the at
