TAX EXEMPTION FOR
new HOUSES OFFERED
TO BOOST BUILDING
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Tax ex-
emption for all new dwellings for a
period of at least Is years as a means
of stimulating building was advocated
by Lawson Purdy, former president OF
the New York city board of taxes and
exemptions, in an address here today
before the housing conference called
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
Such an exemption would be sub
stantial inducement to builders, Mr.
Purdy said, adding that it was fully
warranted by the present housing
shortage. He advocated that it should
apply to all homes built in the next
three years.
Sees No Determination.
Remission of taxes on new construc.
ton could not be considered a dis.
elimination against owners of exist
ing property. MI. Purdy declared. in
view of the fact that construction
costs are now 100 percent above norm
al.
Philip H. Gadsden president of the
American Electric Railway associa-
ton, told the conference that the lack
of capital required by public utility
companies to equip the new homes and
apartments needed in this country
presented one of the most serious
problems in connection with the hous-
ing situation.

PASSPORT FRAUDS
FOUND IN GREECE

ATHENS, Jan. 2S-Wholesale frauds
in passports, carried on by Greek sub
jects emigrating to the United States
have been discovered by w. L. Lowrie,
American consul general here. More
than so passports were submitted at
the consulate today for American vises
and 25 were found to bear forged sig
natures and false seals of the Greek
foreign office.
1t is feared many Greeks already
have secured admission to the United
States on similar spurious papers as
over 5000 persons seek American
vises each month. 1t has been found
that small clique of Greeks has car
ried on regular traffic in bogus pass
ports, their clients being youths, wish
ing to evade military service and
others wanting to go to America.
In one case 5000 drachmas normal
ly amout $50, was paid for one of these
documents. Greek authorities are
making thorough investigation and
have made several arrests. Steamers
bound for New York from Greek ports
are being held, pending the inquiry.

APPROPRIATION BILL
CARRIES ARMY CUT
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Framed
to provide for a force of 100000 reg
ulars, the army appropriation bill re-
ported to the house today, carried a
total of S328,S61 1923, reduction of
S63,697,242 from current appropria-
tion. The war department had asked
for $692,S11,O7

about $500 men, $500 flying cadets,
and $4,000 commissioned officers are
not included in the 10000 total.

tee report says, was proposed with a
view to early withdrawal of Americans
in Germany. Chairman Anthony, of
the military committee of the ap-
preparations committee, told the house
that the present plan of the war de-
parment to maintain nine divisions in
camps erected during the war was an
unnecessary waste and expense.

PRODUCTION OF OIL
IN UNITED STATES
REACHES HIGH MARK
CBy Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Oil pro-
duction in the United States in 1920
totalled 443,402,000 barrels, while con-
sumption of oil in the United States
reached the unprecedented total OF
531, ,1S5.00O barrels. Despite the ex-
cess of consumption over production.
The end of the year showed net in
crease in petroleum stocks of more
than 100000 barrels.
The figures on oil for the year OF
1920 were announced today by the
Geological survey in a preliminary
survey. The total production esti-
mated the survey said, probably would
be increased when the amount of oil
consumed on the leases is known and
after allowance is made for net
changes in stocks held by producers
on the leases. but as it stands repre-
sents a gain of II per cent as COM
pared with 1919 and of IS per cent as
compared with 1918.
Imports of petroleum during 1920
amounted to 105, 600 barrels more
than double The imports of 1919 and
almost five times greater than the i'm
ports in 1913.
These impressive figures" the sur
vey comments. "emphasize the grow
ing dependence of the United States
on foreign supplies"
