War Sapines STAMPS

ABOUT s625,0O0,00 worth OF war savings stamps
II of the series of 1918 will fall due on January
first. 1t is the hope of the treasury department
that the holders of those securities will elect to ex-
change them for others instead of demanding cash
for them. To facilitate such transfer Secretary Mel.
Ion has ordered that all stamps offered in exchange
for treasury savings certificates before the first of
tie year shall be received at full value and certif-
icates dated January 1, 1923, given in lieu thereof.
The certificates are issued in denominations of
e25, 800 and $1,000 and are sold by the treasury
for s2o5e, So and $500, respectively. In five years
they are redeenable at par, and can be sold for
proportionate amounts in the meantime.

BUILDING ON
INCREASE NOW
Plans Filed for Many Struc-
tuFeS in Richmond This
Year

TOTTENVILLE, March Build
ing activities in the borough Ct
Itit hmond give promise of being
greater this year than that of 1921,
according to all reports coming
from that department. There were
filed during the month of January
In the borough of Richmond appli-
cations for 1877 new buildings, which
is an increase of rs per cent over
the corresponding month of 1921.
This would seem to indicate that the
tax exemption is still keeping up it's
work. When it is remembered that
the year 1921 was the banner year
in the history of the building de-
partment this is remarkable consid-
ering that this is a time of the year
when building operations are usually
At lcwest ebb.
William McDermott, superintend-
ent of the department, declares that
he is much in favor of the extension
of the time for one year for the
filing of plans for dwellings to en-
title them to tax exemption, because
in his opinion, in view of the present
figures, that another years grace
would Sc far as this borough is con-
cerned end the shortage of homes.
The municipal owned trackless troll
ley has opened up a vast territory
hitherto considered too far from
transportation facilities to be profit
ably developed. In 1921 there were
3.441 buildings erected at a total
cost of $10,17O,900 OF this number
2,535 were dwelling houses and
We're built at a cost of ~sS,204,0S9. In
this number there were nineteen
public buildings, four churches, one
hospital and one hotel erected in
1921 at a cost of $721,3
