Home Loan Act is modified to
provide for new construction of
owner-built houses:
Loans are now being ap-
proved, closed and paid out at q
rate tOtaling more than $5,-
100000 a day. Since its incep-
ton under the Home Owners
Loan Act of 1888 the Corpora
ton has made loans aggregat-
ing 1857 ,6O7,727 on 126,39S ur-
ban homes throughout the
country.
"Of this number 1924 were
effected by exchange Of the 4
per cent bonds of the Corpora
ton for existing mortgages with
a maximum of 80 per cent of
the appraised value Of the prop
erty.
"CaSh loans numbering 1,119
up to 40 per cent Of property
valuation, were made for mort
gage refunding purposes in
cases where the mortgages did
not take bonds, and 1855 cash
loans, limited to so per cent Of
valuation, were made to pay de-
linquent taxes and finance nee
essary repairs"
Bruce LeGore, aviatin' real es

an absence of several years II

Mr.. LeGore heard that real es'

come their fear of the Big Bad
Wolf and are about to begin
operations on a sound, conserva
tive scale again. He wants tc
be in on the killing so that is
why he is back.
There is probably no other sales

belonged to him and treat the

Maybe they are trying to get in

Now that springtime has Off
cially arrived, owners Of real estate
they are owners or
brokers-will naturally turn to the
question Of paint.
In this connection the current
issue Of the Real Estate Magazine
contains some interesting observa.
tionS by DR.. Macmillan Toch,
well-known scientist in this field.
DR.. Toch's article deals particu.
larly with the application of paint
to cement. Cement was invented
more than 100 years ago, DR..
Toch says, but it was not until
the early part of this century
that the science of painting con-
crete was developed.
While painting Of concrete is
not necessary as a preServative as

reminds building owners that it

Of decoration and that decorative

SETTING RETARDED
BY COLD WEATHER

when doing concrete construction
in cold weather, remember that new
concrete should not be allowed to
freeze. If necessary, the sand and
gravel should lie heated and warm wa
ter should be used for mixing the con-
crete; then the concrete should be
well protected from the frost for sew
eral days." says Professor L. j. Smith,
head of the department of agricul-
tural engineering at Washington State
College. Concrete does not harden as
rapidly in cool weather as during the
warm summer. Because of this it is
necessary to keep the frames in place
longer"

NAKED TRUTH

For the nth time the Bone Power Bill is COM
ing up for the vote, this time as Referendum No.
49, This measure has been banded back and forth
so many times that it has reached the point where
decent and final burial is more than advisable
At every legislative session during the past
ten years honet east-side delegates have had
to fight tooth and nail to defeat the bill Pressure
from local organizations which misunderstood the
issue and swallowed the lower power rate ballyhoo,
plus the heavy west-side representation, got it
through the Senate and House Of Representatives
in 1888. Fifty thousand voters saw to it that the
measure was suspended until it could be voted up
on by the whole state in the general elections in
November
When first scanned the bill seems fairly in
nocuous Seattle will play big brother to smaller
towns provide them with lots of electricity at low
rates: There will be market for Skagt's power.
Nothing much to it-a west-side matter. But if
it is harmless, why has it been fought so bitterly?
We don't want a power monopoly in this
state. The Bone Power Bill if passed, will make
it possible for Seattle City Light to enter into any
community comparatively; there will be no check
on it's rates; it will have difficulty in estab-
fishing itself. And then who is to see that it's low
rates are continued?
Only Seattle could collect taxes from it. The
state would receive nothing from the properties.
The taxpayers would have to make up the differ
ence, so where is their gain?
AND-it spells the doom of Grand Coulee
and the dream Of Priest Rapids If this bill can
be rushed through this fall Seattle City Light is
prepared to show figures proving (there are some
remarkable uggers in Seattle) that it can enlarge
Skagit at very low cost and send it's power across
the mountains to irTigate the whole Columbia Ba-
sin with cheaper electricity than Grand Coulee can
produce.
That is what they have under their hats, ready
to spring as soon as the bill is effective
Do we want Grand Couee? Do we hope ever
to build a dam at Priest Rapids? Well never
have them if No. 18 is passed

Tn answer to protests against the suspension of work done by the Mutual Aid and EZRA at the community playground voiced last night at the meeting of the Hope vile Community club, William M. Harris. director of the Mutual Aid fund today said that the continu- ance of such work during the win ter months was impractical and that it would not be resumed un- til spring.
 Residents of the Hopeville sec tion, together with other com munities in various parts of the city where similar work is in pro- gress, have been promised that the jobs will be completed on the re- turn of warm weather, according to MT Harris. It is obvious that cement work, grading, and other work of this type is much easier of accomplishment during the warm months, he said.
 Members of the club claim that a wall which has been erected has not been sufficiently re-enforced and that there is danger of a col- lapse in which someone might be injured. They also claim that a ditch which has been dug in the playground should be filled in in

HIGH SCHOOL LADS
 GET DISCHARGES

Justice found itself tempered with mercy in juvenile court this morning, and as result, three high school lads went free without gaining police records. The trio were arrested late Sunday night and charged with stealing gasoline from the parked car of Ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile, near his home at Robbins and Frank streets.
 The lads. all in their teens, were arrested after Detective John Leary had fired two shots over the heads of three fleeing youths, who had been seen stealing the gas, as they escaped into dense woods off Rob- bins street. They were picked up at their respective homes by De- tective Leary and Patrolmen Pat rich Hobart and Ernest Pakul..
 In juvenile court this morning. Judge John F. McGrath discharged the three accused lads, rather than give them criminal records.
