REAL ESTATE TAX CUT
SEEN IN OVERALL PLAN
Study, However, Reveals Pro-
posal Would Not Bring About
Econnmias

Appraisal Of the effect OF an over
oil limit on the real estate tax as
shown in the nine States which now
have such a limitation is made in
study which has just been issued by A.
Miller Hillhouse, representing munich
pal finance officers, and Ronald B.
WEIGH, representing the assessing Of
f1cers, and published by public ad-
ministration service of the University
Of Chicago
Principal conclusion: AN overall
tax rate limit Of the type advocated
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards will, II adopted, result
in a substantial immediate reduction
in real estate taxes, but the proposal
will not bring about important gov
ernmental economies or lasting reduc-
tions in total tax burdens The loss
in property taxes will eventually be
made up by replacement revenues,
with additional costs incident to their
administration"
The association, which urges the
adoption of an overall limitation in
every State avowedly as forcing
measure, comments that the authors
reach the conclusion that the program
is having the effect of broadening the
tax base, which is the primary cause
for which the measure is advocated

You hear great deal these days
about "plyWood." a structural
material which has both beauty and
strength, being made of layers of fine
wood veneers fused against the grains.
Plywood can be used in hundreds
OF ways Of building and many people
feel it has not even begun to demon
strate its versatility. 1t makes crack
proof walls, wainscoting, breakfast
nook partitions, clothes chutes, cup
boards, window seats, shelving, book
cases, screens, and is even used-in
one Of its varieties-for sheathing.
1t is more expensive than solid wood:
more durable. too.
Behold! The plyWood people have
made bid for the wider popularity
of the product as a wall finish, in
perfecting finish for Douglas fir ply
wood, the cheapest of plyWoods. and
thus the most suitable for Iow-cost
houses. Fir plywood has been made
for some time, but it is only a matter
OF months since a good looking and
inexpensive gray stain was found to
have an interesting effect on the in
trlcate pattern of the fir The ply
wood company is not interested in the
promotion Of any special stain, so it
will give full instructions, free of
charge, to any one desiring to apply
two coats Of acid stain and glaze coat
to the unfinished fir plywood.
Douglas fir, which was milled to the
extent of 700,o00,o00 square feet on
the West Coast last year (based on
a three -eighths Of an inch thickness),
usually is put together In three or
five layers. 1t comes in four grades
good two sides, good one side. sound
two sides, and wallboard sheathing.
1t Is approximately AS strong for
general purposes as are hard woods.

Credit for undermining and repair

the January, 1895, figure than any OF
the other classifications," said Bodfish.
1T also showed less nuctuation than
any OF the other types Of loans from

Bodfish said that il the increase OF
loan activity shown in January, as
compared with the previous year, con-
tinues, the associations will round out
about sl,500,000,0o0 in new loans,
since they disbursed $l,200,o00 900 in
