Greenwich Takes
Steps to End the
Housing Shortage
Bankers, Lawyers, Builders
and Others Resen, Condi-
tions; Will Form SIOO,-
QUO Building Association

1kEEN WlCH, Conn, March 1.-THE
present financial condition is resnon-
s'ble for the stagnation in construc-
elon work here, according to the Green
Wien Chamber of Commerce, which met
on tuesday evening for the purpose of
discussing the building situation
Lawyers contractors, bankers, archi-
teces and real estate brokers were nres-
ent in large numbers. II was brought
out at the meeting that inability to
obtain loans with which 10 finance the
construction Of new buildings made It
impossible in. many instances for
plans to be carried out. Banks. it vas
said, cannot solve the problem. for
they are restrained by their conserva-
tive business methods and by legisls-
ton.
The meeting voted in favor of the
forming Of 8 building and loan as
sociation for Greenwich, and John
Maher, one of the heads Of the Mahcr
Brothers Coal and Lumber Corpora
tion and leader of the Democratic
party here, was appointed chairman Of
a committee to look into the matter Of
forming such an association and re
port back to the Chamber of Com
merce at a future meeting.
Builders Urged to Function
Percy R. L. Tuthill. president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce., who presided,
said that it was time for representa-
'tives Of the various trades which en-
ter into building to get at the bottom
Of the trouble The situation, he said,
prevents any activity.
F. G. c. Smith, architect, said that
building costs were thought to be
higher in Greenwich than neighhoring
towns, and he thought that data should
be compiled to prove it.
William Anthony, contractor and
builder, said that the trouble was not
in importing men, nor in high wages,
nor outside competition, but rather
the difficulty in getting funds. He
claimed the banks will not loan fair
percentage of the appraised value of
q house On a $4,000 house he had
been unable to borrow more than 33
per cent. The average bank appraiser,
lie said, knows nothing about the value
of a house.
"They are Rip Van Winkles trying
to do business in q 1907 instead of a
1922 basis" he said. Mr.. Anthony
added that if he could borrow fair
amount of money he would build
solid" to New York
Joseph Whelan centended that GU per
cent of the cost of house was faii
loan, and said NE would build ten homes
next year if he could get that amount

Ralph E. Brush, lawyer and yachts

Mr.. Anthony declared chat Greenwich

they got their money in Greenwich and

Among the various constructive

there is nothing of greater importance
or that will be of more lasting benefit
to the industry than its effort to s,;,,u-
late interest in the revival Of the an

with the industry.
A special committee was annoi,tcd
to investigate into the need for aa6;-

Inc committee on apprentice ship was

congress at meeting of the executive
committee held on January 10. 1922. in
response to the demand on the part of
the building iDdustrv, not to create un-
necessary numbers of journeymen me-
chanlcs, but rather TO develop men bet

The committee is designed to bring
together the knowledge, experience and

young men to learn the trades involved
therein, and to so build up the oppor-

Killing was too inartistic revenge

So "Heliotrope." the convict. the ex-

marvelously clever and uncannily et-

PLAY At THE GRAND

Many theater-go will remember

number of weeks back. 1t was one OF
the most interesting plays staged TINS
season. Next week the Harrison Pay
ers are to present Mr.. Harrison's faV-
orite and most widely successful play
SANITY Hypocrites And Honest Sin
ners". This play is yielding Mr.. Har-
rison very handsome royalty, as 1t
is much in demand by the stock dram
attic companies all over the United
States and Canada this season. one
might construe from the title that 1t
is n stage sermon and expect to see a
talky, tedious, lecturing sort OF produc-
tion, but We are told this is not the
case at all: that. while the play has a
purpose and lesson with strong
punch to 1t, it is highly favored with
good. wholesome comedy of a type that
strikes one very true to nature. Before
he would release this play to other
companies. Mr.. Harrison toured all
over tho country with this play as a
feature production and he will person
ally appear in his star part with the
Players all next week at The Grand.
1t is rather distinction for Pueblo
to have in its midst n playwright ma
