BY ]. 8, URGED

The National Association Of
Real Estate Boards is continuing
to bring before the Federal Ad-
ministration the necessity at this
time of direct Federal credit for
individuals and firms engaged in
home building.
Such action, the association
points out, would in the most di-
rect way aid the recovery pro-
gram. It would go far to free
the way for new construction in
the one field in which a definite
and immediate economic need
has been demonstrated.
Such loans as are proposed
could be made either through the
Public Works Administration or
the r. F. C,
The presentation of this ques-
tion of direct loans has been
made directly to Federal officials
by officials of the association.
Together with w. C. Miller, of
this city, president of the associ-
alton, officers and committees of
the association, including Herbert
U. Nelson, secretary, and mem
bers of the code committee. have
spent much of their time in
Washington during recent weeks.

BUILDING GAIN
SEEN NEAR

Total residential building awards
up to December of this year were
about 16 per cent below 1882,
according to a recent survey
made by the Standard Statistics
Company, says the National Real
Estate Journal.
However, the picture is not as
black as it seems, as most of this
decrease was the result of the al
most complete cessation of build.
ing the first months of this year.
Since that time there has been a
bulge in activity, and since May
residential building has been
moderately above the like 1882
volume.
In the opinion of the company,
which is the largest of it's kind in
the country, private building, as
reflected in residential contracts,
will show a material year-to-year
betterment in the spring of 1884,
despite financing difficulties and
rising construction costs.
The demand for new housing
is estimated by NRA economists
at eight hundred thousand units,
after making allowances for doub.
ling up and substandard dwell
ings which should be torn down.
This looks like the makings of a
real revival.

JESUS TOPIC
Of SCIENTISTS

"Christ Jesus" is the subject Of
the Lesson-Sermon in all the
Churches of Christ, Scientist to-
morrow. The golden text is from
Micah So: Thou. Bethlehem
Ephratah, though thou be little
among the thousands of Judah,
yet out of thee shall he come
forth unto me that is to be ruler
in Israel; whose goings forth have
been from of old, from everlast-
ing" Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
And John calling unto him two
of his disciples sent them to Jesus.
saying, Art thou he that should
come? of look we for another?
When the men were come unto
him, they said, John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou
he that should come? or look we
for another? And in that same
hour he cured many Of their in
firmities and plaques, and of evil
spirits; and unto many that were
blind he gave sight. Then Jesus
answering said unto them, Go
your way, and tell John what
things We have seen and heard;
how that the blind see, the lame
walk, the lepers are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, to
the poor the gospel is preached"
duke 7:19-22). The Lesson-Ser.
mon also includes the following
passage from the Christian Science
Text Book, Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Jesus works
established his claim to the Mes
siahShip. In reply to Johns in
quiry, Art thou he that should
come Jesus returned an affirma-
tive reply, recounting his works in
stead Of referring to his doctrine,
confident that this exhibition Of
the divine power to heal would
fully answer the question" (page

Tax Report Published
Mr.. Lieber said:
"During the past year the
preliminary report Of the COM
mittee on double taxation Of
the House Ways and Means
Committee was published, and
should have a far-reaching ef-
feet upon relieving the home
owner from some of his uneven
portion of the tax burden.
At last, after many years of
haranguing and lambaSting, we
are dealing with facts in re-
gard to home taxation and
therefore we have much bet
ter chance to accomplish a fair
reduction.
"There are substantial reasons
to believe that employment will
not be allowed to lag in 1894.
The impetus of the United
States Governments activities
will push towards an increase Of
employment in private business.
Some StrawS indicate that we are
going to lay the groundwork in
1884, for the greatest boom the
country has ever seen. Credit
expansion, or credit initiation, to
meet the damned up demand
for homes, railroad supplies, and
other longtime goods can take
place very rapidly, under exist
ing machinery, once there is the
