dustry at its high tide in a frenzied
effort to take advantage of the healthy
condition which the operative builder
has created" and builds homes of such
tlimsy material and construction that
his efforts bring criticism down on the
whole industry
He urged that lending institutions
require builder to prove his ability and
vision before financing on a large scale.
he described the operative builder as
an organization which buys its own land
in raw acreage and converts that land
into communities by erecting homes.
BY buying land in wholesale quanti-
ties and developing it as his sales re-
quire, the operative builder can produce
lots more cheaply than can the sub
divider who sells lots directly to the
public, Mr.. Miller declared.
Other economies effected BY the OBJ
erative builder, he said, are employment
Of an architect in annual salary instead
OF commission, purchase of building ma
terials on large-scale basis, by continu-
ing employment of mechanics from year
to year, by the cumulative force of con-
tinued advertising and employment of a
sales force by the developer.
Mr.. Miller pointed out that about IS
per cent Of the homes constructed in
Washington are erected by operative
builders.

M. Goddard, Acting Ex- ecutive Officer of the Commission.
 This measure was protested by almost every Chamber of Com merce in the Territory, but without avail.
 It empowers wardens and other employees to make searches with out warrants of camp and pack outfits, boats, automobiles, etc, where they have reason to believe contraband furs are concealed.
 It also authorizes the Commis- sion to impose a local hunting li- cense fee of $1, and combination hunting and trapping license fee of $2. It is understood that this provision will be held in abeyance until next year as it will be ne- cessary for the Commission to draft certain regulations to make it prop erly effective. These, it is be- lieved, will be decided upon at sthe next annual meeting of the Com mission late this year.
