BRICK INDUSTRY TO
RAISE SlO,OOO,OOO
FOR HOME BUILDER
Hollow Wall of Solid
Brick Will Make Homes
At Low Cost.

The brick Industry is working
out scheme to raise $1,000. 900 to
aid home builders and Is pushing .
new and economical method of
bricklaylng SO a brick home can be
built more cheapiy." said Ralph p,
stoddard, secretary Of the Common
Brick Association of Cleveland, at
the annual brick convehtion at st.
Louis recently.
During the past two years brick
manufacturers have been working
out new methods OF using brick SO
brick homes can be built at low
cost. The first development was
the Ideal wall-a hollow wall of
solid brick-now being used from
one end of the country to the other.
Due to this new wall, thousands OF
houses are going up in brick which
would otherwise have been buiis
less permanently. Building codes in
a hundred cities recognize this low
er cost construction. a remarkable
record for one year"
But the brick industry would GO
further" continued Stoddard. "Un-
der the new financial scheme. any
responsible head of a family Of good
character who desires to own his
home will be aided from a central
$1,000,000 fund subscribed by the in.
dustry. Each loan must be approved
by the local brick manufacturer ana
by a responsible local bank or build.

will help filf the gap between tn

struction and the cost OF the house
We know a brick house Is wo-'
more than any other type of house
although IT does not necessarily
cost more, and we are willing tc
back this up with our money.

TROUBLED TENANT
SHOULD FIND COST
Average Man Does Not Take
Time to Probe
Rents.

Any tenant who Is dissatisfied
with the amount of rent he is
paying should Investigate the
price of lots and cost of building
(even though he has not the price).
There would be more satisfied ten
ants II this were done This ap-
plies to the. average business house
also. II a man cannot AFFORD to
build for his home or business, he
is willing to pay some one a fair
rate of interest to do IL for him,
but the average tenant will not
take the trouble to really investi-
gate. Some tenants are not paying
5 per cent net for fine buildings,
but still are laboring under the
delusion that they are working for
the landlord. This does not apply
TO fancy prices, but reasonable
market values.
Rents and Living Expense.
Would farmer sell produce in
good market for less than going
prices II he got free land rent?
OF course not. He would pocket
that much additional profit. Would
a merchant sell his goods under
the market II he got free rent?
No. he would pocket that much
aodltlonal pront and let the owner
pay the taxes and repairs. Rent
is one Of the large items of ex-
pense in the family budget and
the business budget, but how many
stop to figure the amount of money
invested in the building they oc-
cupy? You might call rent a COM
modify. as we must all have places
in which to live or to carry on our
business. We must build II or get
some one else to build it for US
II we build 1t the money invested
must earn something, so we charge
up the interest and taxes to our
selves. If we rent 1t, we pay to
the other fellow. We have to have
clothes. We pay some one a profit
to make them for US, we pay a
profit to someone for our food. All
articles are sold at a profit during
good or bad times, high or low
prices.

In a city It is often said 1t is bet

One Of the most important stand

Real Estate Board is the appraisal
committee. 1t is composed of mem
bers Of long experience In the real
estate business in this community,
and each member, by their knowl-
edge acquired by this experience, is
able to qualify in any court as an
expert on realty values.
The function OF this committee is
to report values on any and all
classes OF real property coming
within the sphere Of knowledge Of
its members, on request of anyone
seeking this information
Nonresident owners seeking i'm
partial and reliable information Of
this sort can feel certain Of obtain
ing such by making application to
the associations secretary and, by
laying the regular fee provided by
the bylaws, receive a written re-
port, which may be used as proper
evidence in any legal transaction
requiring such evidence. These re-
ports are useful In determining
values of estates in probate pro-
caedings; they may be useful par
ticularly to nonresidents contem-
plating making a trade, where one
OF both parties to such.a TRANSACT
tion feel uncertain of values. They
may be made useful In appraising
values of realty holdings for public
or semi-public utility corporations.

the vacancies could not be filled at

like to see vacancies as they get
cheap rent. During those times
wages are cheap and business in

The average building represents
the same amount of money invest

merchant turns his Investment into
profit, but sometimes thinks the
owner is not entitled to the same
return. The only way possible to

he can get as good a return from
