, gun to decline very slightly in some
cities as result Of extensive construc-
ton Of dwellings and apartment
houses. This was when the nation
awoke to the fact that 1t was in the
midst of the biggest building boom in
history. 1t was believed that this
boom would soon reduce the nationwide
housing shortage which grew up dur
ing the World War when construction
was practically halted.
In June, however, it was discovered
that the building boom was slowing
up in the face of high prices of build
ing materials and of labor. The slow
ing up process is still going on.
Should the nations building activi-
ty continue to decline, rental stand
ards would again begin to rise. At
best they probably are remaining. at
the March level, government observ-
ers say.

Collision at WinsIow BRIDGE

The second collision within two or
three weeks. occurred at the South
end Of the Winslow bridge at about
eleven o'clock Tuesday forenoon,
when a Hudson sedan driven by E.
d. Choate of Paducah, Kentucky, and
a Hupmobile touring car driven by
Edward Chase of this town collided
very forcibly. Each mans family
was in his car, and in Mr.. Chase's
car, Mr.. Charles Gilman received
quite a painful injury to his nose,
while Miss Charlotte Chase sustain
ed an injured arm. The occupants OF
the Choate car were unhurt.
Mr.. Chase was coming on to the
Winslow bridge toward Waterville
while Mr.. Choate was just coming on
to the bridge from Waterville. No
one attempted to explain just how
the accident occurred, but one or the
other pulled Nttle too far to the
wrong side and the smash came. Mr..
Chase's car was damaged to quite an
extent, but the Kentucky car was
we'll protected by heavy double
bumpers and therefore received no
damages.
1t is useless and very unnecessary
to say that this is a bad place for
tourists, but nevertheless, it is, and
it seems as II it might be well to
slow up trifle when coming to this
place.
