THE HOUSING PROBLEM.
Talk of Syndicate of Business Men to
Finance Building.

The housing problem is rapidly becnm-
ing serious in BrattleborO, says the Brat
tlebOrO letter in the Springfield Sunday
Republican. During 1919 and 1920 only
one dwelling that could properly be called
such was erected in the tOwn-the bunga-
low built by Miss Eva Briggs in West
BrattlebOrO. Several business blocks and
garages were built however.
The high cost of material and labor and
the low price of real estate and rents have
been factors in curtailing building. 1t has
been impossible for builders to figure out
anything like a reasonable profit on house
construction of any kind. All the real
estate dealers and owners of apartment
houses say they have from a dozen to 20
applicants on their waiting list all the
time for either apartments or houses and
in many instances, they are without one
building to supply this demand. Several
people have bought houses, to be sure OF
a place to shelter their families
In a number of cases rents have been
advanced enough so that it would seem
that during the coming season builders
would be warranted in beginning opera
tlOns. Apartments or houses with modern
could be readily rented. and there is some
talk of syndicate of business men being
formed to assist contractors and builders
financially so that the congestion can be
relieved. Several available lots ideal for
dwellings could be bought at a reasonable
price and it is greatly to be hoped that
some scheme may be devised whereby they
will be utilized this spring and summer.

RAILROAD SELLS
TONS. OF SCRAP
Pennsylvania Company Salvages vast
Portion of WOrn-0ut Metal Parts
Old Bolts Made New.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March Pr
The Pennsylvania railroad loaded and
shipped to buyers, 4,50O tons OF scrap
iron and steel from its scrap docks in
Columbus, Ohio, in the month of Jan
uary, it was announced at the offices
here The scrap is made up of metal
discarded by its shops in the southwest
ern region, from old rails and IRON
wreckage brought in from various parts
of the road, and from metal worn out
in operation of the railroad.
ONLY that part of the metal which
cannot be reclaimed is sold for waste or
scran iron. By combing one part of new
spring steel with fifteen parts of old
spring steel picked out in the scrap
dock. 1875 rebuilt locomotive springs
were sakaged last year. Springs are
rebuilt in this way at cost of 3.4
cents a pound, while new springs cost
ten cents a pound.
There are about 5000 tons of scrap in
the dock at the present time. During
1920 more than $4,000 tons of scrap were
sold. This material at the present time
is worth only about sten dollars ton,
but by retaining a considerable part
for its own use, ttne PennsylYanla
saves many thousands of dollars, which
it would otherwise spend in buying new
material and parts. )
Forty-ive men are employed to sort
the material into the metal piles which
can be used again by the railway, and
the parts which are no longer useful
Old bolts are taken into the blacksmith
shop. sorted according TO sizes, re
threaded and returned to service. Old
axles are heated. pounded INTO long
iron bars, and then turned in the ma
chine shop into new parts for loco
motives,

Was a mark for poeticaI pity,
The wooden doomed serf" who busted

And furnished the grub for the city.
Til the boob took advise and boosted

OF his buckwheat, his spuds and his

1t had the effect of increasing respect
And he rose to ''the poor honest plod-
der" .
Then the gent in the jeans raised some
more on his beans.
And his tufnips, and this and the
other,
When the poets quit spouting and all
started shouting
Long live the dear suburban brother. :
Thus. the horn handed guy kept insert
