Plan TO REGULATE
: BUILDING BOOMS
Periodic Overlooking and
Means to Prevent, Topic
of Realty Men.

Prevention of periodic overlooking
in the building industry in the future
through the issuing of such reliable
data from time to time as will enable
construction to regulate itself to ac-
tual conditions Is the suggestion COM
ing to the National Association of
Real Estate Boards from promised
cooperation of the United States De-
partment of Commerce with the
American Construction Council.
Stacking up of non-urgent build
ing for time in order that urgent
building. such as home building, may
so on without further advance in
cost, urged by representatives of
practically every large building in
dustry in the country through reso-
lutfonS adopted recently by the
american Construction Council, should
not be interpreted to mean that the
council is advocating a nationwide
suspension of construction, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, president of the coun-
Gil. explains emphatically in a tele-
gram to the National Association of
Real Estate Boards
The American Construction Coun-
Gil has received number of tele-
grams from brick manufacturers and
one or two kilograms from lumber
men clearly indicating that they had
received identical kilograms from
some unknown source that the coun-
Cal mas advocated ninety days sus-
pension OF construction throughout
the country" Mr. Roosevelt's telegram
states. This is entirely at variance
with the facts. To stop construction
Tor ninety days would be the worst
uation."

COUNTY FIREMEN
PLAN BENEFITS
Ocean City Fire Department Joins
Atlantic County Association
Lunch at Lenape Park.
ADDRESS BY PHlLA. CHIEF.

Firemen from P%leasantville, Abse-
con, Ventnor City, Egg Harbor City,
Margate City, Hammonton, Somers
Point and Mays Landing met at Le-
nape Park on Wednesday evening, in
one of the biggest meetings the newly
formed Atlantic County Firemen's
Association has yet held.
Chief Samuel Conver, of Ocean City,
was an invited guest, and on his re-
quest Ocean City was unanimously
permitted to join the Atlantic County
Association, as its position enables the
resort TO give or receive help to and
from municipalities in this county.
The project for organization of a
county beneficial association, after
discussion, was held over until anoth-
er month in order that each company
may go over the proposed constitution
and bylaws. The association will as
outlined be open to all members of
the County Association and will pay a
death benefit of 500, assessing each
member 80 cents for each benefit.
Some of the firemen believe the assess
ment and benefit should be increased.
Interesting information about up-to-
date methods of training firemen and
fire-fighting methods was given by the
chief of the Philadelphia Training
School, where every city fireman must
undergo fifty days of intensive train
ing before he can be appointed.
Following the meeting the county
firemen were the guests of Reliance
Hose Company at a luncheon in the
park pavilion, which was greatly en-
joyed by all.
