A bill has just been introduced into
the French Parliament with view TO
facilitating the building Of apartment
and dwelling houses urgently needed in
most Of the large French towns.
The proposed legislation eontem-
plates. according to adyices received BY
the Bankers Trust Company, Of New
York, a tax Of 10 per cent, to be levied
on the rental value Of all apartment
and dwelling houses situated in the
uoan district and a regional credit
institution" for the assistance Of i'm
proved real estate.
The revenue from the 10 per cent
tax-thc payment Of which should be
shared by both landlords and tenants
would be deposited with this credit
institution. These resources would be
used 70 guarantee annual grants TO real
estate owners wishing to build dwell
inc houses approved OF by the Munie-
ipal Council and situated within the
Urban district. These grants would
beln nav of the interest and amortiza-
tion charges on mortgage loans which
ownors contracted for the erection Of
buildings. .
The regional Credit Institution
would determine the conditions under
which the assistance is to be granted;
For instance, land owner who wanted

to-day would amount 20 3OO'ooO francs
would spend 100000 francs OF his own
