GREAT MUNICIPAL
IMPROVEMENTS EXPECTED
Babson Sees Great Opportunities for municipalities.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
Sept. 23.-Roger w. Babson this
week issued a warning to cities and
towns to get busy on their municipal
improvements Immediately. His rea-
sons are as follows: -&
"a revolution is to take place in
city development during the next de-
cade. The automobile, is to have as
great an effect on living conditions
as the sewing machine had on weav-
ing. AS the mill has taken the
place of the home spinning wheel,
so the suburb is to take the place
Of the city for residential purposes.
Tremendous movements from the
city to the suburbs may be expected
during the next few years. Wise
cities will. begin to Immediately pre-
pare for this great suburban develop
ment, which, in many cases, will
mean the extention of city limits.
"Such a revolution in living must
result in the extension of water
plants, expansion of sewerage sys-
TENS, and a tremendous era of new
road buildings, home building and
other improvements. This will cause
great demand for carpenters, ma
sons, plasterers, and common labor
Of all kinds. The building boom has
not yet reached it's height. Every
feature connected with building
from the supplying of the raw ma
terials to the furnishings of the
home, should prosper for, the next
year or two. This is the real reason
why certain forms of labor is scarce
today and why certain building ma
ter:als and commodities are strength
ening in price. 1t is the real rea-
son why the mine operators of the
central states and the mill owners
Of the eastern states have been oblig-
ed to take back the workers at the
old wages, 1t is this emigration
from the city to the suburbs which
has changed the labor market. Of
course labor leaders claim credit fol-,
checking wage cuts, but it clearly
is: not due to them. Henry Ferds
flivvers are causing this demand for
homes in the suburbs, and the conse.
quent demand for mechanics, carper-
tiers. and common labor.

Cotton Market Opinions

S, NIunds & Winsow: We believe the market
in a position to do better.
- J. s. Bache & Co.: We rather look for tie
market to have an upward tendency during
the next few days but to a large extent it
will probably be trading affair.
i Logan & Bryan: We are Of the opinion
that because of southern hedge selling bulges
for the time being may be very limited.
Thomson & McKinnon: We still believe
that cotton should be bought on declines.
s. NJ. Weld & Co.: We advise purchases on
further recesSions.
Hubbard Bros & Co.: The general feel
Ing is still rather mixed but we are of the
opinion that in view of a bullish government
report that is expected the market will not
1ecline to any extent.
Moss & Ferguson: We advise a conserva-
tive policy combining purchases to breaks for
the near future.
J. w. Jay & Co.: 1t is difficult to escape
the conclusion that the brunt of selling pres
sure will be encountered during the coming
three to four weeks and during this period it
will be easier to obtain cotton than at any
time later in the season.

Money rates are low. There is a
good demand for municipal bonds
The federal income tax and state
and city taxer are especially favor
able to municipal borrowing How
long cities will have this advantage
I do not know, but the situation GER
tainly should be seized while it lasts.
! Nothing helps a city so much as
good paving, a splendid water sup
ply, proper sewerage, and, of course
good schools.
This especially applies to the
southern cities which have not in
the past had the available funds
that some of the northern cities have
had. Great opportunities present
themselves to those cities that are
to benefit from river improvements,
flood protection, and other natural
problems. New Orleans, is an H.
lustration of city which should
take advantage Of this present op-
portunity Of low money rates in paw
ing it's streets and developing it's
suburbs.
During the next ten years we
will witness a great municipal race
yes, a great municipal Marathon
race. The cities which are now be
hind will have an opportunity of
getting in the front ranks; while
some of the cities now in the front
ranks will drop back into the lower
places. The result of the race will
depend upon the vision of those who
direct the affairs Of these cities"
These changing conditions are all
ready evidenced by the business bar
oneter figure of the Babsonchart
which has reached to per cent be-
low normal. I expect this subnor-
NAL condition to soon disappear.
Wise are the cities which plan their
improvements and make their con-
tracts while business is still below
normal.
