Dun'S Report

New York. June 30.-Dun's tomor-
ro wwill say:
The half year just ended brought q
distinct advance in business. with
most of the gain in confidence and act
ual transactions achieved during the
second quarter. Unsettled labor con-
ditions in some industries have long
been a detriment. curtailing operations
and enhancing costs of production, and
the threatened railroad strike increas-
cd uncertainty this week. Despite va
lious drawbacks. however. recovery
from previous depression has been
substantial il highly Irregular. and
many interests will be more active this
, nmer thG rs anticipated.
Interruptions from inventories and
vacations will be experienced. as
usual. but there is clearly more work
to be done this year and shut downs
will be less general and extended. A
new and rather unexpected phase has
arisen with the more frequent reports
of labor scarcity in certain lines. the
steel industry among them, and COM
petitive bidding for workers Is heard
of in isolated instances.

PRINCE REGENT

Gives Orders That Ex

Cut Down.

TOKYO Sept. 2.-The prince re-
gent of Japan. who has been set
ting his subjects many good ex-
amples since he became the act
ing head of the state. is now set
ting the pace in the much-needed
turn for general economy and
thrift, taking advantage of his ap-
preaching marriage to the Princess
Nagako, which important event will
take place this fall. Not only has
he given orders that the expenses
of the wedding are to be held down
to the lowest limits compatible with
the dignity of the throne, but he
has also notified the minister Of
the imperial household. Viscount
Maxine. to rearrange the menage
of the imperial court so as to elm
mate more than half the number
of titled ladies in attendance on
the Empress and upon his consort.
thus materially reducing the ex-
pense OF the upkeep OF the court.
The prince regent wanted to sim
plify the imperial court some time
ago, almos, as soon as he became
regent, but discovered that there
are some things which even the
ruler of Japan cannot do. one of
which is to interfere with what the
women have been accustomed TO
do and get away with II. The pro-
posed reform" within the palace
walls raised a row that echoed even
outside the sacred inclosure and
was hastily shelved for the time
being. especially as the Prince Of
Wales was en- route and the pal
ace dignitaries and the imperial
household department had their
hands full anyhow. Now. however.
with the visit of the British heir
behind them and the regent about
to add to his powers and dignity

reform Is to go through. what

has from four to eight women serv-
ants of her own. the whole form
ing quite a group Of femininity,
to which must be added the generai
maid servants of the members of
the imperial family themselves.
The prince regent has decided
that he can get along with many
fewer women around his court. es-
pecially as those now there have
been serving the Empress and his
own bride will have to have her
own women attendants. Each
court lady draws a salary of from
aoo0 to 5000 yen a month. which

and have a program OF activities

son when the luncheon meetings are
suspended the board does not hold
many meetings but the various COM
| mittees continue to perform their
duties.
One of the most active and per-
haps the most important commit,
tee Is the appraisal committee. This
committee passes on the valuations
of all properties that the board is
requested to appraise. 1t is com
posed of seven active members who
are electd annually by the entire
membership. Election to this COM
mittee is considered an honor, as
the work requires men of training
and ability with special knowledge
IN the science of appraising.
Increase In Appraisements.
during the history of the ap-
praisal committee, which was in
existence under the former Brokers
Association, property appraisals
have reached over $4,000. 900. Since
the board was reorganized and es-
tablished permanent Offices, requests
| for appraisals have shown a marked
Increase. The total value of
properties appraised during the
present year indicate the Iarges>
amount heretofore reached In any
one year.
Appraisals are received from out
of town as well as local sources
and many of them are obtained for
use in the distribution of estates
and the adjustment of Federal taxes,
both income and inheritance.

forming duties involved in trust

praisals. Every board has its stano-
ing appraisal committee selected
from its own members.
Assists Municipalities
Many boards. including the local
boards, have appraised properties for
the government, as well as State and
county authorities. In some cities
no property is purchased or con-
demned for municipal purchases un-
til its value has been determined by
group appraisal of the real estate
boards appraisal committee.
Among many important appraisals
made for the government by the
appraisal committee of the local
board were the sites on which Camp
Meigs and Camp Humphreys were
located. This service was performed
during the war by practically every
real estate board in the country
without cost as a patriotic duty.

Trucks ~ Feeders.
The use of motor trucks as feed
ers to railroad systems in such
manner as to perform practically
the function Of branch lines Is still
in its infancy. Its possibilities de-
serve and, doubtless. will receive
increasing attention in the future.
Few railroad branch lines of the
present time are profitable; many
probably the majority-are oper-
ated at heavy losses. There Is lit
tie incentive to establish new ones,
or inducements to supply the funds
required for such purposes. Here
Is another chance for the motor
truck to test out it's worth.
Granting an adequate basis of
taxation to compensate for the
otherwise free use OF highways
constructed and maintained by the
public 1t Is not my belief that
motor trucks are destined ever to
rival the railroads in the field of
carload or bulk transportation.

Highways capable of sustaining a
heavy motor truck service cost
more to build and keep in repair
than do standard railroad lines.

with the larger quantities. carry

total cost. Moreover. the superb
ority OF railroads in contending

opinion. not likely to be impaired.
Flexibility Is Advantage.
The advantages of trucks lie in
the fexIbility of their operation
and in the fact that they do not
require elaborate and expensive
terminal facilities. They seem
especially adapted for handling
less than carload traffic over short
distances and on good roads and
well paved streets. and for per-
forming the terminal portions of
the service required In the COL
lection or delivery of through or
long distance less than carload
rail traffic. In the one instance
they are capable of giving service
to points not reached by the rail-
roads and of helping to relieve
the railroads of a burden: in the
other instance they directly act as
auNiliaries to the railroads in per-
forming their service to the pub
lie. In both cases they should
prove useful aids in increasing
and extending the utility of our
existing railroad system.
