7s PER CENT. INCREASE IN
 HOME BUILDING IN NEW YoRR

New York. April 1o.-In the first five weeks since the tax exemption ordinance became effective February 25, home building in New York city increased 76 per cent, compared with the eorre- spending period year ago, Henry H. Curran, president of the Borough of Man haitian announced today. Figures just compiled by the building bureaus in the five boroughs show that plans for 3,5s4 dwellings had been filed in the five week period this year against 2.020 in 1920.
 Building of apartment houses, Mfr Curran said, which virtually had stopped in 1920. has begun again.
 Although we must have apartment houses and many more of them to re- lieve the present distress" he added. ''The most encouraging result of the tax exemption is this spring growth of the little houses that dot the boroughs out side of Manhattan. Most of these houses will be owned by lhe families who live in them At the present time less than 5 per cent. of New York city's families own their own homes.
