and other unnecessary restrictions on
building costs.
OF interest also to local communities
as well rs to investors and the build
ing industry IS the relation Of neigh
borhood protection to the maintenance
OF property values and the encourage
ment Of building activity. This sub
ject will be presented by Harland
Bartholomew, city planning engineer
Of st. Louis.
Home Show Standards.
Standards for home shows and the
opportunities for organizing such dis
plays in communities throughout the
country during the coming building
year will be discussed by Russell G.
Creviston Of Chicago, president of the
Producers Council.
On the second day the plans of
various units In the building industry
to stimulate and widen the market for
small house construction will be pre-
sented and discussed. Three speakers
have been selected to introduce the
subject: Wilson Compton, secretary of
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, Washington; Douglas
Whitlock, legal counsel Of the Struc-
tural Clay Products Institute, WASH
ington, and w. D. M. Allan, director
Of promotion Of the Portland Cement
Association, Chicago.
Another important factor which en-
tiers into decisions to build, whether
for home ownership or for investment
in residential rental properties is real
estate taxation. This will be presented
the second day by John McC. Now
bray Of Baltimore, chairman Of the
Housing Committee Of the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards.
Bearing Importantly also on such de-
cisions are the activities Of the Federal
and local governments in the new and
untried field in this country in build
ing publicly owned dwellings for rent
to families Of low income. 1t would be
helpful at this time to clear Up the
confusion which exists in the minds
OF many people rs to the number of
dwellings which will be built by local
public housing authorities with Fed
eral aid and the families who will be
permitted to occupy these dwellings.
There Is need to draw q sharp line, as
has been done in England, between
the fields Of public housing for poor
families living in slums and private
housing for the rest Of the population.
Straus viii Speak.
Nathan Straus, ,newly-appointed ad-
ministrator OF the United States Hous-
ing Authority, which was established
by the Wagner-Steagal Housing Act,
has agreed to address the conference.
This will provide an exceptional op-
portunity for discussion OF public
housing and Its relations to the much
larger field Of private residential build
ing activity.
On the second day there will be
presented ways and means In which
local chambers Of commerce can stim-
ulate In 4 sound way residential build
ing and be Of assistance to the build
ing industry locally. Since building
Is an inherently localized activity the
importance Of removing local disa-
bilities which unnecessarily add to
building costs and in other ways re-
tard building activity cannot be over
emphasized. The speakers selected
to present this subject are: Gerrish

ton promises to continue its spectacle
lar progress during 1887 and to de-
velop much higher earning power
over the next few years, it is reported
in Poor's Investment Advisory Service.
Probably the most striking advance
in the transport division has been
the development Of regular passenger
service by the dirigible Hindenburg
over the Atlantic and by the Pan
American Airways' clipper ships over
the Pacific. Now, chances appear
favorable that heavier-than-air trans
portation will be introduced soon
over the Atlantic jointly by Pan
American Airways and the English
Imperial Airways.
"Air transportation in the United
States during the last year made
tremendous strides" states the report.
Passenger miles flown are estimated
at 439, 9,000, 900, against 3l3,906.0 900 In
