SUBURBAN CONTROL
! BY CITIES URGED.
Real Estate Board FavorS
| Plan After Long Study
of Problem.

! Recommendation for the control
by municipalities of urban growth In
tho areas constituting their fringe
have been adopted by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
following a two-year study of the
problem involved.
The association, at its annual meet
ing just concluded at Miami. F1a..
approved and adopted report OF It's
special committee. which has been
collecting data as to the methods
which cities are devising to co-ordl-
nate the growth of their semi-rural
periphery.
Follows Joint study.
The recommendations were made
Following n joint study by the realtor
committee representing the National
City Planning Conference and the
american City Planning Institute.
The joint committee was formed to
bring together the points of view of
the technical city planner and the
practical city builder. Irenaeus Shuler
of Omaha. Neb.. as chairman of the
associations committee, presented the
report.
( The recommendations call for: ID
the making of a master plan for the
expected expansion of the urban COM
munity. (2) authorization of definite
control of subdivision development by
the local planning commission, 81 ex-
tension of that control into non-mu-
nicipal territory for distance vary
ing with the size of the city and for
the larger cities much more than
three miles beyond the city limits.
and (4l regulation, when practical, of
the extent to which street improve
ments, water and sewer provisions
must he made before subdivision plats
will be gwen official approval.
Avoid Costly Mistakes.
Proper control of unbuilt areas
would result not only in increasing
the property values of the whole area
under control but would avoid such
costly mistakes as have reuired and
are requiring the rebuilding of city
areas, which have grown up in a hap
hazard fashion. the report points out.
It cites a single STRENGTHENING prof.
ect in the built-up section of a Pacific
Coast City, which, to provide less than
10 miles of thoroughfare, is costing
the city S10.000,000.
I'm most cities planning commits
sions serve only as advisory boards and
the power of final legislative action is
vested i'm the City Council. We believe
that State enobling acts should dele
gate direct to planning boards the au-
thority to control the plating of land
under regulations that have been APP
proved by the municipal governing
body. but subject to review by the
governing body acting as board of APP.

NEW YORK, November 1.-The

Liverpool cables said Continental

The market eased after the initial
buying had been supplied, with prices
working back to about the closing

SUGAR MARKET QUIET.

NEW YORK, November / (E).-The
raw sugar market was quiet today
and in absence of business prices were
nominally unchanged at 4.65 for
Cuban, duty paid.
The continued inactivity in the spot
market and rather disappointing
cables from London caused an easier
undertone in the raw sugar futures
market and at midday prices were
l to points net lower. The principal
decline was in the near positions,
especially December. which reflected
the start of liquidation of that de.
livery. Sellers Of this position seemed
to be buying the later deliveries. but
on the whole business was again of
moderate proportions, with the trade
still awaiting news from Cuba relative
to its proposed restriction plan.
There were no changes in refined
prices, which are quoted at $50 for
fine granulated, but business continues
light and from nearby territory only.

NEW YORK, November 1.-Rally

issues which have been the main
objects of speculative attention that
stood out. 1t was evident from the
action of the main body of stocks that
speculative opinion as to the future
course of the market was considerably
divided
The oil shares were by no means
neglected. and their action during the
past week or SO has LETT the impress
sion that those who were reluctant
heretofore to come in on the buying
side were now taking more opti-
mistic attitude toward the group as a
whole. The outstanding feature was
the persistent demand for India ma

12,492,614 barrels in the correspond
ing period in 1926. Estimated earn
ings for 1927 run as high as $40 a
share, which would compare with
S8.17 share in the previous year.
For the September quarter directors
maintained the policy of distributing

action of the stock reflects the opinion
that something additional might be
forthcoming at the next meeting.
Illinois Pipe Standard of Indiana,
Vacuum and Humble were higher.
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore led

some 3 points to the increase in the
dividend rate from $2.50atO So annually

Gas & Electric shot forward almost 3
points, and the action of most others
left the impression that the public
utilities were still attractive as earn
ings and assets propositions.
A new high record for American
Rolling Mills common followed declara
tion of its regular quarterly dividend
and best prices for the year were
established in Celluloid common and
