the early fall.
The estate comprises lard one

three hundred feet deep facing Monu-

is beautiful old mansion and in as

Mr.. and Mrs. Viles will probably
dispose of their fine residence at 20
Melville street and plan to occupy
their new home In the fall.
1t is understood that the purchase
price for the property was $4,000
and Mr.. Viles will expend some $l5,-

will be modernized throughout. with

glassed in sun room will be built on
the south side of the main house, and
the service wing will undergo ex-

a thoroughly modern garage with

several cars. The Colonial style of
the house will be preserved, and with
very few minor changes the front
entrance way will present one of the
most perfect examples of the Colonial
doorway in this section.

for example. there has nevertheless
been practically no change since the
first OF this year.
I'm reviewing the situation dis
tinction should be made between
the business and the banking view
points Probably from q business
standpoint the caution which is be-
ing advised by several sources
against further expansion and tnfa-
ton merits serious consideration.
From a purely banking or credit
viewpoint. however, there seems to
be little occasion for ALARM"
The review says that savings
banks are finding an excellent de-
mand for mortgage money which
is likely to continue because OF ex-
tensive building operations. Depos-
its in New England savings banks
have been growing rapidly during
recent months and are farther
above their normal pre-war rate of
growth than they were in 1920.
One significant feature OF the keen
demand for labor. the review says,
is the increasingly diversified de-
mand for women for various occu-
pations. Boston, Worcester and
Springfield report a heavy demand
for labor in the metal trades. Skilled
textile labor has been scare. The
suggestion is made that production
has now reached such high level
as to preclude any considerable
gains in case other than those of
Industries whose recovery merely
brings them more nearly in line
with general conditions.
The railroad situation in New
England is termed distinctly more
encouraging" Shipments of mer-
chandise continue heavy.
The boot and shoe industry show
ed evidence of reduced activity dur
ing March. Cotton consumption in
New sEngland during March was
well up to the average Of the pre-
ceding months but pript cieth sales

facturers were operating at about
81 per cent Of their full time capa-

in the paper manufacturing indus
