MARKET FLASHES

NEW YORK, March 4.-Speculative
selling of French francs in European
capitals sent French exchange down to
4.021sc today, new low record for all
time French bonds also moved lower.
Demand sterling declined slightly and
continental exchanges were somewhat
depressed. French bills soon rallied
after the opening. The declines were
attributed to publication of letters be-
tween the premiers of Great Britain
and France.
NEW YORK, March Am increase
OF more than 100000 in net profits, to
Sc, $50 ,212 in 1928, was reported today

brought the largest peace-time produc-
ton on record, volume exceeded in
only two war years. A special reserve
years dividend, was SET aside out of the
1928 earnings. The directors declared
the regular quarterly dividend of $1.75
on the common and preferred stocks.
NEW YORK, March 4-No section of
the bond markets has been more SEN
sitive to legislative departments at
Washington than the liberty bond list
which has been quick to reflect each
turn in the tax situation as well as APP
prehension over the possible passage
of bonus measure. Although prices
stiffened on the rejection of the 20
per cent surtax, the latest trend has
been downward, due to prospects of
new treasury finances and the grow
ing commercial demands for money.

Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railroad
earned 300 per cent more in January

 They would sit long hohrs at a stretch talking of the fun they would have when they went down to Washington to see their grand ! tmother who lived in the White House.
 But They Never Saw 1addic Eoy.' They would picture themselves or ' dering the buffers and serving maids about in the big dining room or shouting commands 10 the policemen at the doors.
 l They would sec themselves out in the yard plucking pretty White ! House flowers and romping about with Laddie Boy on the rolling green lawn.
 And what fun it would he to play tag up and down the great wito staircases on rainy days; to explore i the rooms and the closets upstairs; to scampcr. at will, into tho oxecu- tive offices to sit at the presidents s own desk!

nothing but single family house can he built in that section. It was for this reason, he said, he bought the lot.
 John Ogle Of :o4 Hart street went or record as opposing the granting of the permit,
 Mir. Wilcox said that he has just greeted a bungalow on Winthrop street. and he thought that the granting Of the Naples permit would seriously affect the value of his prop erty.
 j.. T. Ships, who owns house Iocated at 2lS Hart street, stated his objections were much the same as those Of the previous speaHers.
 No Restriction on Naples Lot
 Miss Julia Naples, the owner Uf the lot testified thai she bought it in July, 1921, and the same month went 10 the office Of p. K. Perry a local architect, and engaged him to make the plans for the house which she proposed to build on Hart street. Slr said that no restrictions were specified in the deal She de- Clined to state what she paid for tho lot.
 Mr. Perry, who prepared the plans for tho house said that the proposed house uae 10 he of the English style of architecture and that as the out side appearance would not in tie Last resemble regular two-fami.y house It. thought that there should h" no obJ'cuon 10 building it in this locality. He said that the plans called for building at q cost Of SINooo. The sizn of the )ot is s7xts& and tho width Of the hous' would he 35 feet, leaving 16 feet on one side of inch ouse and 6 fert on tho other.
 William MrMurray said that he bought house in the immediate vicinity Of the Naples property rtth the understanding that the section was restricted 10 single dWe eiIlnES.

FOTbidS Erection Of Two and
 Three Family Houses

That the building problem in New Britain is assuming a decidedly s"ri- ous aspect was demonstrated at the meeting of the building commission at City Hall last evening for the pur- pose of considering several appliCa- tions for building permits in various sections of the city. Commissioners WeXler Hnchliffe, Walsh, Quinlivan and Niets were present.
 A large representation of Hart street resident who live in the Vance street vicinity was present to protest against inc granting Of a permit to Anthony Naples for two- family house at 26O Hart street,
 Charles F. Parsons stated that he was against the granting of the per- init for three reasons: The granting of a permit for the buildiIS Of a two-family house in this section would cause his property 10 dcprc- ciate materially in value: the build- ing Of a two-familv house here would prove a dctrimcnt to Walnut IIin park; according to tho plans made by the znnine commission this section has been designated 10 be built up Of single tenement houses only. MT Parsons also presented to the commission a telegram from II. s. Hart who is in Europe, in which he expressed his opposition to the granting of the permit.
 A. W. Wessoleck, owner of a house on the corner of Nane and Hart streets, went on record as op- posing the permit.
 R. A. Hawley said that he was opposed 10 the granting of the per init for the same reasons stated by MT. Parsons. When asked by At torney Stanley Traceski, who rep resented the Naples interests, fl there were any building restrictions on Sunnyledge MT Hawlcy replied that there has always been an i'm piled understanding concerning thH building line but that there is no restriction.
 Mr. SChilling, who has just bought a lot near the Naples property said that his lease specifically stated that
