ico's right to adopt legislation forbid.
ding foreigners to hold properties
along her frontiers was upheld by For
eign Minister Saenz in a statement to
the Associated Press.
The enactment of the NolStead act
In the United States. he said. was
an example of the right of a nation
to make effective a restrictive law
Nobody could deny that prohibition
had severely injured established in
terests and had brought ruin to vast
Investments, yet nobody questioned
The right of the United States to pass
such a law.
MeXico's right to enact legislation
putting into effect article 81 of her
constitution likewise could not be queS-
toned
The proposed law at most. he said,
was more merciful'' than prohibition,
because foreigners were to he given a
reasonable term in which TO dispose
OF their stock in corporations within
the prohibited zone
Regarding remuneration by foreign
erS of their rational rights as to COM
panies outside the prohibited area, he
pointed out that foreigners were for
bidden To acquire property in some of
the states of the American Union.
The proposed amendment to article
: was debated in the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday. Deputy Soto
Cana, agrarian leader, asserted that
unless tIs acquisition of lands by for
eieners was checked Mexico might
lose Tamaulipas State, where there
are oil fields. also Lower California
and possibly other sections, the same
as we formerly did Texas"

seemed to be in a very wholesome con-
dition. In Florida many contractors
were working their employees and 10
hours day, the wage scale for skilled
mechanics ranging from $12 to SIS a
day, with time and half for work in
excess Of the standard eight-hour
workday. Notwithstanding the abun-
dant construction now in progress in
Florida. contractors there reported
that sufficient labor was available.
The pronounced strength in mate
rial prices noted in August was not
maintained throughout September.
While many building materials main
tained the previous months level, a
number of items registered declines of
l to per cent. The net effect of the
changes was weakness rather than
substantial decline.
Last months strength in soft woods,
Douglas fir and Southern pine, was
short lived. The earlier part of Sep
tember witnessed the continuation of
higher levels, but during the last two
weeks of the month price concessions
were prominent

S5,447 .341 for the same month last
year. Birmingham. Ala: Louisville
and several of the larger Texas cities
also displayed great activity. The in
dications seem to be that the ensuing
Winter will witness a continuation of
extensive building operations in many
parts of the South.
For the first time in the history of
the country, the % leading cities
passed the 81 1000, 900, 900 mark for the
three-quarters period. In Boston more
than $1O.000.000 of plans We're filed In
September, giving that city fifth place,
with gain of more than 10 per cent.
st. Louis Pittsburgh, Portland, Greg;
Kansas City, Seattle and Buffalo also
reported greatly increased volumes of
current building.
The situation in the building crafts
was reported generally we'll stabilized.
The settlement of the jurisdictional

While gains are fairly general, a
somewhat spectacular situation exists
in New York City. where there was a
I'll per cent gain over September last
year. For the nine-month period,
howevar New York is only IL per cent
ahead sf 1924.
The South again led all sections of
the country. Miami established a rec

DIGGING UNDER PIER
OF KENNEBEC BRIDGE

Several weeks ago, 200 cubic yards
of sand and a whole carload of &C.
ment were dumped into the waters
of the Kennbeec river at Augusta.
More than that. hundreds of people
passing over the Kennebec bridge
stopped and watched the thousands
of pounds of material go down into
the water, and watched it with plea
sure, too.
This huge quantity Of sand and
cement were used in repairing the
foundation of the westerly pier of
the bridge and the work was being
done by Swift & Anderson of Au-
gusta.
OF all the repair jobs that have
been done in this vicinity during the
past few years, there has been none
that has been fussier than this one
