The Need for Homes.
Daly Journal of Commerce, Seattle

i With homes falling to ruin and being destroyed by fire far faster than they are being built--and that has been the trend for the last several years in the United States-and with information filter ing through from Washington, D. C., regarding pending Federal home financing, it would appear to be high time for the homebuilding industry to get on the job" There has been a complete let down on the part of capital in the home building field. Bedrock prices have not proved attractive to those who finance home building Vacancies were numerous the result of the doubling-up of fam flies and the throwing of so many residences on the market result of unemployment. The heavy profits of boom" years not assured the financing companies Architects and builders have sought in vain for home loans
 Now we have millions of homes that below standard-homes that not desirable Progress in home design has continued as home financiers marked time waiting for the reoccurrence of con- ditons they in the middle twenties. Times are improving People who have not been in the market now seeking homes.
 One of the most prominent building material manufacturers in America stated last week that there is present need in this country for forty eight billion dollars worth of residences apartments and home modernization. He explains that the de- presson in the home building industry started after the peak year of 1925. In 1929 home building had declined to one-hah that of 1925. Last year wit messed the addition of only l3 per cent of the resi- dentia floor space provided in 1925. Home build
  of the country is already moving in advance of the general business cycle. Who honestly believe that such low prices as those in effect today will continue as a real program of home construction gets under way? Prices will soar. they always have scared. sH
 The Federal Administration is not satisfied with the home-b building situation. Slum clearance and tenement elimination a part of the Federal plans for putting to work and providing needed homes may change the entire picture with respect to home building The part of wisdom for those in the residence construction line would be to get busy at before something takes place in Washing ton that will put largely in Federal hands an industry that boasted payroll in 1925 of three billion dollars-the. greatest wage bill paid in la single year by any industry
 1 Fabulous profits will not pe reaped in home building they once were but reasonable profits will be obtanabe. Financing will not be costly as it was, but fair profits will be returned the investor.
 As stated above, homes last falling to decay. They are becoming obsolete. Millions of residences now occupied will not be in position to compete with those which architects planning. They will be about salabe and rentable were the old mansard -roofed mansions, with their piazzos trimmed with fret-saw ornamentaton, of the gay nneties" when the 1925 home building boom was under way.

A DREAM COMES TRUE.

Almost two decades ago Col. Wids P. Richardson then President of the Alaska Road Commission visioned Juneau Douglas and then flourishlng Treadwell connected by bridge across Gastlneau Channel In his customary decisive manner ne immediately set about to realize upon that vision War intervened and the project lapsed
 The dream however, continued Others had It, too Col Richardson was called away to war and subsequently, there was change in the Federal road building policies in Alaska so that the Alaska Road Commission withdrew almost entirely from activities in this region The dream dimmed for a time Then some five years ago it's brightness was re- stored with the prospect of pulp and other develop ments here For second time, with the aoVent oi depression the vision obscured.
 Yet those whose faith was strongest in the future of Gastneau Channel communities, under the leadership of the Juneau and Douglas Chambers of Commerce kept it alive. In and out of season they kept the project going.
 Today they have found that dreams do come true Today they were advised that quarter of Q million dollars has been apportioned from Federal Public Words funds construction of the Juneau Douglas bridge across Gastineau Channel. Their ambition to link the two communities together k about to be attained Both towns will gain inn measurably through the construction of the bridge No money allotted to the Territory by the Public works Administration is more justified and none that is expended will bear greater benefits, present and future, than it.
 To Gov John w. Troy. who gave the project his personal and official endorsement and who strongly urged during his recent stay in the Ma tional capital the allotment of funds for it, much credit is due Acting Gov. E. w. Griffin and Ike P Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, assembling data, preparing estimates sketches, blue prints and maps, gave him invaluable assistance. Delegate A. j. Dmond co-operated with the Governor in Washington and gave him every possible aid.
 Press dispatches to The Empire said the money had been allotted for expenditure by the Alaska Road Commission This is altogether fitting since it was the first President of that organization, Col Richardson who originated the project. It might well be named Richardson Bridge in his honor

Alaska Election.
(Anchorage Times

Bob Bartlett's Washington letter appearing in the Times today states that Delegate Dimond is preparing a bill to change the election date in the Terrietory from November to the second Tuesday in September and the time for the opening of the biennial session of the Terririal Legislature from March to January
 The November election date has been particularly objectionable to many residing in the interior Of Alaska for the reason it occurs at period of the year when many of the nacigable streams are in a process of freezing, and travel to and from the polls by many outlying resident has been almost impossible Many have remained away from the polls just for that very The September date falls at a time when all get about by boat or otherwise.
 Holding of the legislative session in January will have the advantage of taking members and others away from their customary business pursuits in the period of the year when many seasonable works in the north make no claim their time Mining and fishing, the chief industries of the Territory are less active in winter than in summer However if the Territorial Legislature convenes in January it will be in session at the time Congress sits, and will have less opportunity to immediately follow the completed work of Con- lgresS.
 However, these matters. in all probability will be worked out in Congress before any definite interested will have opportunity in the meantime to make representations to the Delegate and tc Congress before the bill is disposed of

center for engineering testing industrial plan: and procurement.
 It is poetcaly just that the airplanes, engine types and every phase of aeronautical equipment are here conceived and designed. From the smallest bolt strip Of metal to complete airpane, both for war and industrial use, everything connected with flying received its test at the field which bears the Wright name
 The great reservoir of accumulated knowledge which is placed at the disposal of the American nation for aviation purposes surely typifies the freehanded and unsual manner in which the two brothers gave to the world the results of their panstakjng and hazardous experiments.
 Of course, National Aviation Day on the anni- versary of the date when first flew in a powered heaver-than-air craft would not be un- fitting. But it could not add to the universal recognition long ago recorded to Wilbur and Orville Wright.

WHEN MAN FIRST FLEW.

little than 30 years ago, on December IT. 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright succeeded in
 flight in the first heavier than-air plane driven by motor. That day they opened the way to air navigation as we know it today. It is on this account that the National Aeronautcal Association is laboring to have the anniversary date set aside as National Aviation Day.
 Without setting day apart, the name and fame of the Wright brothers is secure enough. They are not lacking in monuments There is memorial beacon down on the sandy wastes of Kitty Hawk. Wright Field at Dayton, Ohio. is an even more appropriate commemoraton. Here, on the field where stood the old harm which served the Wrights hangar fo their earliest airpianes the does its nractical work for the advancement of aviation.

CODE HEARINGS COMING.

Word from Deiegate Dimond in Wash inl ton that hearings on a code for the Alaska salmon packing industry planned by Deputy Administrator Hugh J Wade for Seattle, Juneau and Kechikan. All parties at the recent hearing in the National capital MT Dnond said agreed that the local industry ought have code independent iron the general fisheries code
 n Seattle, the packers will present pretty thor oue lly the owners's and operatorss side of the case IL may be expected also, that representatives of labor that ordinarily to the Territory from Puget Sound and other lower Pacific Coast sec tiors will place it's views before MT Wade. Alaskans will not be so well represented there However the Ke. hikan and Juneau hearings offer ample oppor- tunty to them. Now is the time to prepare for them. Labor must agree on what it considers fair wages and reasonable working hours and condi- tions To present multitude of varied demands flor these things will be to defeat the ends of Alaska labor in that field If the code is to be drafted and made effective before the next canning and fishing season, it must be whipped into shape without much delay. Therefore local fishermen and local cannery employees, if they interested, should prepare a definite and sound program for submission to MT. Wade and his associates the MIRA Board-Messrs. James J. Connors and Dave HouSel.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Here is what the railroad prob
lem really amounts to: How can
the transportation needs and in.
terests of the public best be
served?
1t is obvious that this can't be
done by permitting the basic
transport industry, the railroads,
to 60 into bankruptcy. Nor can
it be done by throttling newer
agencies of transport, such as
busses and trucks and pipe lines.
which perform valuable service
ia smaller fields. 1t can be done
By cooperation and coordination
under a forward looking policy
which will protect and aid all
concerned.
The great percentage of all
inland tonnage moved Ia this
country is still carried by the
railroads and there seems to be
no chance of change in the near
future. The rails are fast and
ecomonical-their arteries touch
the most remote reaches of the
country. and they have created
facilities whose worth is beyond
question. The trucks have a
place because of their piability.
The government. in it's new
railroad legislation, has taken
the position that all carriers
have a place. That is certainly
logical. There may be Difficult
ties in working out a sound pro.
gram, and there will undoubt.
edly be necessary changes. but
the country can be thankful
that, in transport policy, we are
on the right track at last.
