For the United States as a. whole, 1884 col lections were AZ per cent above the previous year's figures. These increases represent not only oll- fefences in 5i6inebs conditions put also changes In the tax system which brought about an increase in 1884 collections. Since the tax changes were nation wide m tnelr application, the diferential De- tween the increase for New Eng land and that, for the country as a whole constitutes a measure or business volume in New England as Jcompared to the country, the council study points out.

ARCHITECTS LEND
 SUPPORT TO FILA
Pledge Cooperation in Housing Move; See De-
 nnand for Better Homes

Washington, D. C.-The national housing act opens the door to much-needed improvements and re- covery to the building industry, in the opinion of the country's leading architects as expressed in letters to James A. Moffett, federal housing administrator. They have pledged their cooperation and in many in- stances have launched campaigns on their own initiative to stimulate interest in the better housing move- ment.
 . As expressed by Francis P. Sullivan, A. I. A., Washington, D. C.:
 During the past few years not only has the construction of new buildings by private capital been almost entirely suspended but own CTS have in great measure post poned or neglected the ordinary re- pairs, upkeep and betterments which in normal times would have been made almost as matter of course.
 ''Thiis has resulted in excessive depreciation of the properties, a weakening of the security of mort gage loans and serious unemploy- ment in the building trades.
 Most owners now realize that with improving business conditions the most modern, most completely equipped and most attractive build- ings will be first in demand and will be sure of the largest and most immediate return in rentals.
 'They are accordingly preparing to place their properties in first class condition to take advantage of this prospective market and in many instances have only been de- tered by financing problems.
 The national housing act offers the most practicable method of remedying this condition which has yet been proposed. It provides means of mobilizing private capi- tai, for the service where it is most needed, encourages borrowers by the liberality of its terms and pro- tects lenders.
 Tt should unquestionably be of great service in hastening recovery by releasing credits for use in building operations, and if intelli- gent owners of property will pro- ceed without delay to take advan- tage of its provisions, with the CO., operation of the financial institu- lions and the administrative au- thorities the effect should be wide- spread and beneficial"

Fresh Approach to Pressing

New Idea Is Applied to Tire
Code; enforcement Arm
Being Speeded Up

Washington, April 28.-(R)-signifi-
cent new lines In NRA policy, based
on study Of past mistakes and on
the attacks Of critics, took definite
shape Saturday.
A totally fresh approach to the
question Of price control-most con-
troverted Of MIRA issues next to un-
ionism-was shown in a code setup
for the retail tire industry. Unlike
most code price provisions adopted In
the past, this one Is aimed at keeping
prices low and at allowing normal
competition without suicidal price
wars.
A speeded enforcement policy Fri
day yielded fines in federal courts
against two big textile concerns, one
q SIS, 000, 900 corporation. Both plead
ed guilty to code violations.
Further, an attempt to localize
codes for the service industries, de-
signed to prevent repetition elsewhere
Of the wholesale violations under
NRAs code for cleaners, began its try
out in the laundry trade.
Along still another new line aimed
at better protection for workers, . rul-
ing was issued that employers cannot
keep piecework employees standing
around half the day on call and pay
them only for the actual labor done.
