the history Of the Borland act of
1916, providing for assessment against
abutting property owners for one
half the cost Of repaving, the other
half being paid by the municipality. He
also explained the subsequent amend
ment in 1927, which provided that
there would be no assessment for re-
paving.
The new paving act Of 1881, how
ever, is construed by the corpora
ton counsel's office as compelling re-
payments when claims are made by
property owners who as far back as
1879 were assessed for street paving
All Of these old claims prior to 1916
are being held up awaiting decision
as to the intent Of Congress.
On q motion Of Representative
Quinn. Penrylvania, seconded by
Representative Nichols Of Oklahoma,
the corporation counsel was instruct
ed to prepare an amendment.

A large delegation of citizens, head

Among those lodging protests with
the Zoning Commission were Eliza

for more than so years. She told the
commission it had been proposed to
establish a funeral home and Gre

able for making such payment and
with the number Of claimants for such
refunds growing daily.
Corporation Counsel e. Barrett
Prettyman laid the problem before
the House District Committee today
and was instructed to draft an amend
ment to the paving act which would
place a limit on the claims to be pre-
sented, covering the period Of mod
ern paving, in other words, limiting
the repayment to an approximate date
of 20 years ago.
Prettyman said that already claims
for cancellation of assessments and re-
funds amounts to between $50, 900 and
$4,000, which is being increased as
property owners realize that under an
Interpretation Of the law they are
entitled to refunds running back as
far as 1879.

The young ball players Of this valley, under the
sponsorship Of the Hanford Athletic club, have
built up team which is the talk of ball fans in
all nearby communities. The team-al the play
ers of which have lived in this valley nearly all
their lives-has established itself as dangerous
contender for the valley league title this year.
Whether they remain at the top or not, they de-
serve the loyal support Of all followers of the
toms greatest sport.
For their job is hard one. None of them re-
ceive any pay for their work, and all of them must
lose quite a bit of work every week in order to
practice, and spend their own money to get there.
Balls, bats and other equipment, as we'll as trans
portation to other towns, takes all the money or
more than the club can earn.
The only way they can meet expenses is through
the gate receipts at the home games If you are
a baseball FAM and hope to see the local team stay
in the lmelight, why not patronize the home
gamesg And when you get there, don't try to
chisel your way in-your quarter, and your
friends quarters, will help the team out And
win or lose, you'll get your moneys worth.

/, with his whole family. He was one of
| the original incorporators of this towrlp
ship. But he never lived to make the
| move
'His son, Moses Gould, my great
grandfather, came here to the town
| of Hopkinton in 1760, and moved to
| this farm in TITS. My grandfather and
then my father succeeded to the pro-
perty.
by the time I was twenty one
was the only son available to carry on
the farm. My father had breakdown.
He took typhoid and insisted, typhoid
or not, on settling some estates that
he promised to attend to. He was i'll
| for seven years, practically helpless;
and my mother wasn't able to do much,
either, at her age. So whether I
| wanted to or not, 7 had to stay here
and manage things, and take care of
my parents.
"They both died the same year, 1899
was thirty-eight.
"By this time had some COWS, fif-
teen head and was selling butter direct
into Concord.
II like cows-still keep a dozen head
around just because I like 'en-and
I even won some cups, one of them
at the Chicago Worlds fair. Well, be-
tween my COWS and sort of coal bust
ness I'd started down in Contoocook
I managed to scrape together few
hundred dollars and built house and
got married.
1.-THE next winter the best farm hand
in the town came to work for me. I
don't know what gave me the notion,
but we had about two hundred old
apple trees along the fence rows-a
cider mill once stood on this site; any
how, I told my new man to trim those
trees.
"He hated trees. He just Waded in
and trimmed the devil out of them.
Exactly what they needed; fine job!
Then I told him to take the dump cart
and fertilize them. That made him so
mad he tried to smother them at the
roots, I guess. Anyway, those old ne
elected trees went ahead and yielded,
the next year, $3.50 worth of apples.
"Seven hundred and fifty dollars! 1t
was like striking gold. I started plant
ing. Mcintosh and Baldwirs, mostly.
I have $500 trees now"
Before I left I asked him to write
me letter. adding anything that he
might wish. II WISH" he wrote, that
more people would accept the condi-
lions of agriculture as we find them
today. 1t offers advantages not to be
found in any other industry. The du-
ties are, on the whole, less exacting
and if you follow modern methods
you make fair return.

to change over from dairying to fruit

the change.
He was forty years old when he de-

he was able to turn from his COWS and
start full-tirne orcharding

Back at Dearborn, Michigan last month, was
held conference of leaders of agriculture, indus
try and science, who discussed methods Of finding
increased uses for farm goods-proceeding from
the premise that the vital need of the nation today
is broader markets for agricultural products.
One Of the highlights of the convention was an
address by D. Howard Doane, manager of some
four hundred thousand acres of Mississippi valley
farms. According to Mr.. Doane, three avenues of
attack are open IN increasing the purchasing pow
and general well-being Of the farmer. These
l. Lower costs of production. eve must find
ways of holding to ourselves the benefits of new
low costs rather than allowing them to pass to
others as they have in the past, y he declared.
2. Shortening of the present distance between
pure production and ultimate consumption by eli
mination Of useless, wasteful and non-essential
services that have wedged themselves between the
producer and consumer and by the farmers again
assuming some OF the elemental services and pro-
cesses relinquished during periods when profits
could be realized from production alone.
3. Broadening Of the market base for agricul-
ture, working primarily in the direction of nom
food uses.
Wider markets are necessary, says Mr. Doane,
because the food market alone is too narrow
Abundance destroys the producer and scarcity
brings want and poverty to those least able to
bear 1.-THE laborers. Controlled production rep
resents last-ditch stand, but it is now with us
and must continue unless we find something better
to take it's place.
Quantity production, says Mr.. Doane, is neces-
sary to lower costs of production, but points out
that this should be measured by unit volume, not
by gross volume which in the past has been the
agency that destroyed the farm markets.
Farmers of the present day have grown up in
school of gross volume of production, the farm
manager declares. This age has been one of ex-
pansion- acres, more bushels and more
stock without regard to utilization or distribution

manent well-beng of the producer Production

of any size. style or plan can now be
built entirely of concrete without con-
structing special forms. The same
method may also be used on industrial
buildings, schools, etc. Looking some
thing like gigantic, adjustable cookie
molds,' these forms can be easily and
quickly assembled to fit any given
design or plan. Being made Of steel,
these molds are used over and over
again, so the cost for each use is
very low. The result is that now for
the first time home of solid concrete
can be built at cost no greater
than that of good frame construction.
Therein lies the significance of
this new method of construction which
now reduces the first cost of an all
concrete house to that of other types
Of good construction. If by this new
method we are able to accomplish
this purpose. then it is by no means
impossible that We may be able ulti-
mately to double the potential market
for cement in the residence construc-
tion field"

This week the International Cement
Corp. will formally open in New Or
leans a model house, cast as unit in
one piece of concrete, built by a new
method which is said now makes it
possible to construct individually de-
signed concrete homes to any archi-
tectural plan, at a cost no greater
than that of good frame construction.
The purpose. according to Charles
L. Hogan, president of the corporation,
is to widen the market for cement by
substantially reducing the cost of con-
crete home construction.
In making public the details of this
new method of concrete construction
Mr.. Hogan said:
Until now the use of concrete in
home building has been confined to
two kinds of structures-homes for
the wealthy few who could afford to
pay for the advantages of concrete
construction. and low-cost homes
erected in large numbers to a stand
ardized design. The great middle
range of homes costing, say $4,000 TO
$4,000 each, where individuality and
architectural design are vitality impor-
tant, seldom used all-concrete con-
struction because costs were high
That was not because concrete itself
was expensive: rather, it was due to
construction methods heretofore en-
ployed.
GAS every one knows, concrete is
poured into forms as a plastic ma
terial; these forms support the plastic
concrete until it hardens and becomes
self f-Supporting The high cost of
concrete home construction has been
due primarily to the fact that every
change in design required new form
or mold: any departure from stand
ardized' plan made it necessary to
reconstruct expensive forms.

Star Cement Corp, subsidiary Of
the International Cement Corp, has
just completed in New Orleans, DEM

RECOVERY TREND
SEEN IN BUILDING
Trades Boost Employment
Throughout Country
Since January.

A growing trend toward recovery
In the building trades throughout the
entire country since January, 1885,
is shown in reports from 90 cities
in SO States and two Territories, re-
ported directly to the Federal Hous-
ing Administration through Novem-
ber Is.
From "a cities, up to the middle Of
November, came the report: "All
skilled building trades workers regu-
larly employed"
From 81 cities came reports: "An
workers In special trades employed"
These included painters. carpenters,
plumbers, roofers, Steamfitters and
others. Eighteen additional cities re-
ported: "'An actual labor shortage
exists here" All Of these reports
were made on specific dates and rep
resented the labor condition in given
communities at the time the report
was made. Labor Saturation was
noted, however, in one month or
another in every section Of the coun-
try.
More than so per cent Of the reports
credited the Federal Housing Admins
tration's program with a prominent
part in bringing about unemployment
among building trades workers.
In scores of communities building
trades workers were shipped in" from
other cities to fill local demands.
Home builders in many sections re-
ported long delays, as carpenters,
painters, bricklayers and roofers were
of insufficient number to handle all
current projects.
Scattered outstanding incidents are
typical Of the general trend. In Feb
ruary, Oakland, Calf, reported that
10000 building trades workers had
found unemployment.

added to the pay roll by the Garris

mated that 1,100 of 2,700 workers had
returned to profitable labor.
Lincoln, Nebr., in the same month
reported that all but 200 of 745 skilled
workers were now gainfully employed.
A survey conducted through North
Mississippi in the same month brought
the estimate that work for plumbers
and painters had increased 1874 per
cent over the preceding month.
In November the Dock g. Coal Co.

Cady Lumber Mill pay roll has been
increased by 200. San Francisco,

projects as the Oakland Bridge project,
employment in private industry in that
city has increased rs per cent in the
