OHIO HOME SHORTAGE
ESTIMATED AT 10000

An appeal to all members of real
estate mems organizations in Ohio
to assist Immediately in getting
funds into building and loan associ-
atoms in order that the building
boom now under way may not be
handicapped has been issued by Of
ficers of the Ohio Association of

brought to bear to turn the Ohio
share of the investment money
freed by the May redemption of

institutions. Such institutions
finance practically IS per cent of
the home building in the State, it
is estimated.
An estimated shortage of 10000
homes existed for Ohio at the be-
ginning of 1923. There are 10000
homes now under construction in
the State, and at least 10000 more,
it is estimated, will be built if funds
become available.

all Ohio local real estate boards on

Boards shall circulate petitions for
a referendum vote on recently en-
acted tax measures, is awaited with
interest throughout the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
The executive committee of the
State association has gone on rec
ord as favoring the circulation of
the petitions, but has asked all To-
cal boards to vote on the question
of whether or not to make the
fight. The bills-the Taft and AL
baugh bills-raise the tax limit in
cities and villages.
Opposition to the measures is
based on the ground that revision
OF the taxation systems looking to-
ward more equitable distribution
OF the taxation burden should pre-
cede any measures for the increase

BALTIMORE, June 23.-It won't
be long before the buffalo, once
the typical animal of Americas
plains, will be fewer in number in
this country than the camel from
arid regions of Egypt, should the
present rate of importation be con-
tinued, an immigration official hero
declares.
This has nothing to do with the

on July /, 1919, he pointed out, or

the steady flow of the big desert
animals to ZOOS as word was re-
ceived that 40 of the bumped
quadrupeds will arrive at the quar-
antine station here in July.
Thirty of them, from Egypt, win
go to DIR. w. A. Dickey, of Lost

CD. PLANS
READY CUT"
MODEL
Will Demonstrate the Sound
ness of This Popular Type
Building.

There have been many arguments
for and against the 'ready-cut
method of home building. In order
that the public may have an oppor--
tunity to Judge the merits of this
method, Guy S. Zepp, local manager
for the Lewis Manufacturing Com
pany, is preparing to stage all exh1-
bition construction Of one of the
Lewis-built homes.
The house to be erected, picked
from among his clients, is of Dutch
colonial design and is listed in the
Lewis catalogue as the "Shelburne.
This house will be erected on North.
ampton street, between Broad
Branch road and Nevada avenue.
Many builders argue that there is
no material saving in carpenters Ia
Dor on one Of these houses. To demon
strate this point the entire amount
of carpenter work on this house will
be done by two regular local union
carpenters, assisted by one expert
enced sorter. These carpenters are
experienced in 'ready-cut" construc-
ton. but not more so than any other
intelligent carpenter with few
weeks experience. In addition to
demonstrating the merits of the
"ready-cut method, Mr.. Zepp cx-
poets to demonstrate the economy
and efficacy of his cooperative plan
of operating, which is as follows:
On account of the number of
Lewis-built homes being erected,
FIR. Zepp is able to get estimates
from subcontractors on a quantity
basis. The owner acts as his own
builder in each case. The con-
struction of the house is put under
the foranoa nShiD of the head ear
penter, who should be a practical
ready cut" man.
The foundation work, plumbing.
heating. plastering, etc, is subbed
out to the lowest responsible
builder, and each operation gets d
certain amount Of personal super
vision by Mr.. Zepp.
In this way the home builder gets
the maximum amount Of house for
a minimum outlay. A number of
Mr. Zepp's clients have adopted this

BUILDING SLACK
IN WEST AND
SOUTH
May Returns Show CurtaiI-
ment Movement Checked
In the East.

The record of building permits
issued throughout the country
in Nav reveals continuance of
gains in 1923 activities as COM
pared with 1922.
The most significant revelation
is the continued upward swing
of building activities as compared
with the previous year, thus tas-
tifying to the urgent needs Of the
country for more adequate build
ing facilities.
Analysis of these reports also in
dicates that efforts through vari-
movement may be losing effect in
New York City, the East and Far
West, while producing tangible rn-
suits in the Central West and the
South
Increase in Operations.
Building departments in 2S4 cities
issued permits in May of $289,185,-
757. An estimate based on official
returns received by s. w. Straus
& Co. places the building operations
during the first five months of
1923 for the whole country at about
5000 zoo, 900 ahead of the same pc
riod in 1922.
In 260 cities in which May build
N permit figures are comparable
with the previous month as well
as with May, 1922 the figures are:
May, 1928, $2S4,662. 1877; May, 1922,
$249, 1872 ,498-an increase OF S34,-
S29, 639 or 1879 per cent. The same
cities reported permits in April of
this year of 1928, 1921, 573-a loss in
May of $43.665, 436 or 1913 per cent.
This decrease, as compared with
April, is largely accounted for by
a falling off in Chicago alone of
$29, 616,9 1855.
In New Yory City, where the
agitation for the temporary curtail-
mated, there was gain in May over
April of $4,149.4 93. whereas there
was loss of $113, 3O4,SO8 in April
as compared with March.
The March issues were, of course.
greatly stimulated by rush of
builders to take advantage of tax
exemption provision expiring April
1. However, in the entire Eastern
section there was in April a loss
OF 43 per cent compared with
March, while in these same Eastern
cities the loss in May over April
was reduced to 6 per cent.
Nevertheless, decidedly different
conditions were revealed in the
Central States, where in April there
was a gain of 38 per cent over
March and a loss of 24.6 per cent
in May over April.
The Southern States, which lost
3 per cent in April from March.

RELIABLE DATA SOUGHT
TO BAR OVER-BUILDING

Prevention of periodic overlooking
in the building industry in the
future through the issuing of reli-
able data to enable construction to
regulate itself to actual conditions
is the suggestion coming to the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards from promised cooperation
of the United States Department
Of Commerce with the American
Construction Council.
Stacking up of nonurgent build
ing that urgent building, such as
home building. may go on without
further advance in cost, urged by
representatives of practically every
large building industry, should not
be interpreted to mean that the
American Construction Council is
advocating a nationwide suspension
of construction, F. D. Roosevelt,
president, explains in a telegram 10.
