worker. In America families of mod
crate income apparently live in much
better quarters than families OF equal
incomes in London, owing TO the
shortage of this class of building.
'It is interesting to note that in
assessing real estate taxes or rates
it Is the practice of the London au-
thorities to use the income OF the
building rather than the value OF the
bricks and mortar.
Financing Plans Differ.
"The process of financing new build.
ings in London is somewhat different
from what 1t is in America. The man
there who has a new building project
in mind, as a general rule. borrows n
good part of the money from his bank
or from private capitalists, repaying
this loan after the building Is COM
pleted and substantially rented by II
loan from an insurance company.
There are no real estate mortgage
bond concerns in England. nor In

there which offer real estate mortgage
securities of any type to the public
at large. as is done In America by
bankers handling first mortgage real
estate. bonds, title companies selling
guaranteed mortgages. etc. The only
agencies for purchasing real estate
mortgages are local solicitors.
THE bank or private capitalist who
finances building construction bases
his loan largely on the cost of the
brick and mortar. the credit of the
borrower and his conviction that the
borrower will be able to refinancc
through an insurance company when
the building is completed. The In

Local MOtOrist Finds
Poor Travelling Between
Portland and Augusta

Perley Campbell, of Augusta, re-
ports that the road is passable by
auto from Portland to Augusta via
Lewiston, although it is very poor
travelling in some places. A good
part of the way there are deep ruts
and it is necessary for the driver to
carry q shovel or pick-aXe in order
to get out of the rut in case another
automobile or team should happen
along and there was no nearby drive
way in which to turn out. The road
will probably be worse in another
week because of melting. MIR. Camp
bell left Portland yesterday morning
at 4.30, arriving in Lewiston at $40.
He left Lewiston at 1910 and arrived
in Augusta at 1890, showing that he
was able to make better time on this
end of the road. Mr.. Campbell
warns motorists of the poor travel
ing in places.
