WILL AUCTION
81 92DWELLINGS
They Are in Croton, Conn.,,
Outside Growing City of
New London.

The interest shown in the coming
sales Of houses for the United States
Shipping Board by Joseph p. Day Is
regarded by that auctioneer az
reliable barometer OF conditions In
the Housekeeping market. The In
quiries that are coming In indicate
that there is q serious shortage OF
living space in all of the various dis.
tricts where the sales are to be held.
In the latter part Of April ninety
two one-family dwellings. three
boarding houses. four large dormi-
tories and many vacant lots are to
he sold in Groton, Conn, opposite
the growing city of New London.
During the month of May Mr.. Day
will sell in Bath. Me-, 109 dwellings.
four dormitories. 232 dwellings at
Lorraine, Ohio, and seventy-nine
dwellings at Wyandotte. Mich.
Because the housing situation In
these sections Is still acute, these
sales will afford an opportunity to
those who wish to acquire a perma-
nent home. All the developments
have been thoroughly improved by
the Government. Speaking Of the
coming sales. Mr.. Day says:
Indications point TO the absorp-
ton of these projects by the present
tenants and the workers in the in
dustrial plants that exist in these
cities and communities. There will
also in all probability be keen bid
ding by outsiders. chiefly by those
who will buy for speculation or in
vestment.
The holdings Of the late Henry r.
Hoyt, lawyer, banker. capitalist, in
the Eastchester section of The
Bronx. are to be sold at auction on
April in the Vesey street exchange
by Joseph p. Day. The properties
comprise 775 lots fronting on such
important thoroughfares as East
chester road. Gun Hill road, Alier-
ton. Barlow. Adee and Hammersley
avenues. Mr.. Hoyt foresaw the big
development of this section of the
Bronx, but he died before the big
building movement Of the past year
set in.
In July. 1920. Mr.. Day sold 1892
lots opposite the Hoyt holdings for
the Eastchester Syndicate. At that
time there were few houses in the
section. Today more than 200 one
and two family dwellings have been
erected there.

CLINTON JAMES
EXPLA|NSLOAN
ASSOCIATIONS
Realty Expert Talks Before Y
M. c. A. Class-Discusses
Various Operations,

In discussing tho question of
Building and Loan Associations be-
fore the real estate class of the Y.
M. c. A. this week, c. Clinton James,
president of the local council of
Building and Loan Associations.
sketched the history of such insti-
tutions in this country.
He stated that the first building
association was founded in Frank
ford. Pa, In 1881. During the sub
sequent years of wonderful develop
ment and progress that have come
to institutions founded on this prin-
cipal. the fundamental ideas of the
original association are today the es-
sential features that characterize the
entire system throughout the .coun-
try, he said. There was a time
during the development of these or
ganizations when one of their prin'
cipal activities was the actual con-
struction Of homes which were sold
to their members. 1t was shortly
seen, however, that this feature OF
the work which was highly specu-
lative, was of doubtful benefit and
most organizations have ceased to
operate in this field and in some
States are prohibited from so doing
by law.
He declared the basic principle Of
the building association idea is to
serve two classes of members: First.
the saving class, and second, the
borrowing class. In It's service to
the first class II has been OF In
estimable value in developing per
manent habits Of thrift for the rea-
son that II has offered a facility to
the wage-earner whereby he can
systematically save some portion Of
his wages in a safe and secure man
ner and at the same time receive n
very substantial interest return. This
applies In the same measure TO The
borrower, who, after being accus-
toned to paying regular stated
amounts for q number of years suf-
ficient to liquidate his mortgage,
finds that after he is free Of debt
that the saving proposition has be-
como a habit in his life and he
merely continues his regular pay
ments, thereby accommodating a saw
ings fund on which he receives q
substantial interest return.
Home ownership. Mr.. James stat
ed. Is one Of the primary natural in
stincts of every real man and wom-
an. The Building Association is or
ganized to crafty that desire, and
for that reason makes a strong ap-
peal to all humanity. While build
ing and loan associations have not,
generally speaking, adopted modern
methods OF increasing business, they
have grown to an extent little known
to the average layman. According
to statistics there are In the United
States about 5000 associations with
a total membership of approximate
ly five million and assets of $2,5OO,-
100000. Referring to the District of
Columbia. the twenty-five local asso-
ciations have a membership OF almost
$4,000 with assets OF approximately
thirty-three million dollars. Accord.
ing to the per capita investment
chart Issued by the Department of
Commerce the District Of Columbia
ranks third with a per capita Of
s62.s5.
Mr.. James explained to tho class

vance here and there on specific
items for which there exists a strong
demand. Generally speaking, the
market remains firm, and there is
every indication that the volume OF
trade will continue to expand.

and reports from all over the coun-
try indicate that they were never

everywhere are thinking of building,

ed in accounting and making invest
ments. He stated that owing 10 the
exceedingly low overhead expense
the associations are able to pay to
their saving members a rate Of in.

cent less than the rate of interest
charged to borrowing members.

BORAH SAYS PARTY MUST
CLEAN UP OR BE CLEANED

Boise,-'The republican party is
now confronting a situation where
it must furnish a solution or die,
and it must be furnished outside the
republican party in this state if it is
furnished at all. If this be treason,
make the most of it,
This is the statement of Senator
w. q. Borah in an address at Cald-
well last night. He confined his
talk to what he termed the two
live issues of the campaign, taxes
and the direct primary.
Senator BOrah declared that he re-
allied that he was not in accord
with all the members of his party
on the primary issue, but added that
he felt no regrets.
"Let me say for the good of my
party that the republican party does
not clean house, some other party
will clean house for it," Senator
Borah asserted.
Borah's speech last night is con-
sidered by many leading politicians
as his defiance of the state central
committees efforts to have him re-
cognize the party's platform and can
didates. In all his speeches in Idaho
the senator has scored the platform,
characterizing it as no better than
a scrap of paper
