Upturn in Survey
By F. H. L. B. B.

Urging immediate action by those
concerned with new home building
and modernization of existing dwell
ings, the National Retail Lumber
Dealers Association today called at
tention to highly important develop
ments affecting forthcoming activity
In the spring and through the rest
OF the year.
A current survey Of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board forecasts
an increase of approximately so per
cent In residential building and
paints are inviting statistical picture

In the wake of the Federal Bank
Boards figures, it was cited, Spencer
D. Baldwin, Jersey City. former
president of the association. indi-
Gated before the House Banking
and Currency Committee this week
that extension of Title I of the Ma
tional Housing Act would be of ma
terial aid in stabilizing the economic
life of the Nation
Speaking for the bulk of American
lumber and building material man
ufacturers and distributors, Mr..
Baldwin cited a recent national w.
P. A. survey revealing 60 per cent of
American homes were in need of
either minor or major repairs. He
said lapsing of F. H. A. provisions
for financing such work would re-
suit in falling off of labor demand
and decline in that type of activity
In the industry.
Extension of Title I for two years.
however. Mr.. Baldwin said. would
stave off the onset of ''prohibitive
interest rates to the public and
act as powerful momentum to take
up unemployment slack and speed
up the wheels of numerous activities
in and radiating from the home
building industry.
Mr.. Baldwin emphasized to the
committee that marked recess
sion" occurred when Title I lapsed
in April, 1887, and then showed that
since its renewal. February 3, 1888,
approximately s171 100000 worth of
business has been reported.
Reverting to the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board figures, the asso-
citation pointed out an auspicious
sign for individual and group
builders and investors in the dis
closure that building materials in
1888 cost Al per cent less than the
previous year. The average cost of
six-room frame dwelling was %
per cent less than in 1887.
A further cleaning harbinger in
the building field was stressed by the
association in the Home Loan Bank
Boards optimistic comment that:
THE story of five consecutive
years of declining foreclosures on
non-farm dwellings is probably the
brightest in the real estate picture"

per cent over 1887; 1885 were in
two-family dwellings, a gain of 7 per
cent, while 65 .512 were in apartments,
an increase of 1873 per cent over the
preceding period.
All seven city-size groups showed
gains in new family accommoda-
tions last year over 1887. the most
important increases being in the
group of cities having a population
of more than half a million and
in the group having population
Of between 100000 and 100000. OF
the total number of family dwell
ing units erected last year. 68 per
cent were in one-family dwellings,
5 per cent were in tWo-family struc-
lures, and q per cent in apartment
houses, the survey showed.
Mid-Atlantic Group First.
More dwelling units were erected
In the Middle Atlantic section than
in any other geographical division
of the country. This figure is "a
295. The Pacific States were Sec
ond with a total of 1852, while
the Rocky Mountain section trailed
the country with only $3.50.
All geographic divisions except
New England provided more new
dwellings in 1888 than in 1887. Ex-
cept in the Middle Atlantic States,
far more dwelling units were pro-
vided in one-family dwellings than
in two-family houses and apart
ments combined. In this section
however, due primarily to large
apartment building in New York
City, more new dwelling units were
In multifamily structures than in
homes.
Thirty-three of the States of the
country showed residential construc-
ton gains in 1898. New York led
the country with new residential ac-
commodations for 59,700 families,
followed in order by California with
40,500 and Texas with 17,400.
The District of Columbia was in
fourteenth place among the States
In the number of dwelling units
built last year. The figure for Wash
ington, excluding the metropolitan
sections in Virginia and Maryland,
was 4,275. This is more than were
built in either Maryland or Vir-
ginia.

Geography Large Factor

named by Ward this week; even the
personnel of the committees is ex-
pected to be almost IDENTICAL with
quite likely different chairman. AL
though of less influence than the geo
graphic location ~of the candidates
the thought that Ward would be
friendly to the administration, but
not quite so definitely allied with it,
had some effect on the voting in the
caucus.
Another factor of not much weight
was the ideas held by at least few
House members that Ward would be
more against diversion of highway
funds than would Bryant. This is not
believed to have had much influence,
but with only two votes to change
even a very little thing became inn
portant.
Then there is the factor of per-
sonality. The ability, the integrity,
the spirit of fairness and generosity
of all candidates were unanimously
conceded. More than one member was
heard to remark that they knew and
respected Victor Bryant, but they lik-
ed Libby Ward.
Finally, there was Bill Fenner After
the first ballot had shown Bryant with
As votes, Ward with 35 and w. E.
Fenner of Rocky Mount with "a; and
the second ballot showed that Fenner
had lost one vote to Bryant and two
to Ward, Fenner took the floor to
withdraw his name and ask his sup
porters to vote for Ward, on the
ground that the east is entitled to the
speakership and that Ward was be-
yond doubt of the east. WIhereupon
five of his 21 turned to Bryant, but
16 followed Fenner, whose own vote
cast for the first time on this third
ballot gave Ward the necessary ma
jority.
And that gets back to geography.

residence of their candidate. Walter

floor to second Bryant's nomination
They failed to emphasize the east

Murphy going SO far as to say that
there was no excuse for observing the

little peeved that so many of their

Henderson will get it's first official
look at the 1889 edition of Hender-
son high school basketball teams to-
morrow night at 730 o'clock when
the aggregations take the court a.
gainst two fine Franklinton high
school teams.
w. R. Byrd, coach of the Frank
linton teams, has indicated that his
boys team is one of his best, and the
girls are expected to compare favor
ably with the boys aggregation.
Coach Bob Harrison has made a
switch in the starting lineup for the
girls, which includes Misses Petty,
Falkner and Houghtaling, forwards,
and Captain Duke, Harris and Lowry.
Franklinton will offer Misses Hicks,
Lumpkin and Vann, forwards, E.
Kearney, Ford and M. Kearney,
guards.
Coach Harl Blose has left his an
nounced starters intact, with Ride
out and LeMay, forwards, these are
two lettermen, Russell Turner, CEN
ter, and Galloway, a letterman, and
Gambler, guards.
Coach Byrd has announced his
Franklinton starters as Harris and
Hicks, forwards, Pearce, center and
Gillian and Daniel guards.
Plans are being made to accommod-
ate capacity crowd, with bleachers
being erected to seat over 400 fans.
The student body will assemble in
chapel tomorrow morning to plan the
pep to be furnished by practically the
entire student body
A F. A. system will bring the play

those not familiar with the players
and the game to get a better under
standing as to what is taking place
on the court. The score board has been

from any part of the gymnasium. Pro-
grams will be distributed carrying

pleased with Mr.. Murphy's sugges-
ton. One eastern man remarked that
"the west always wants to abrogate
the rule when it's our time to get the
honor"
In a race as close as this, where the
switch of two votes out Of 106 would
have changed the result, interest was
tense until the final count was an
nounced. Voting alphabetically by
counties, the two last votes cast came
from the far west, Woodhouse Of Yad-
kin and Buck of Yancey It isn't sug-
gested that these were the identical
two votes which decided the election,
but it is fact that until the last two
were counted the candidates were tied

talk jargon of their own. Like most
ordinary folks | do not understand
much of it, but 1 do have an inkling
as to what Eccles is trying to say,
and interpreted into words of about
one syllable each, it is not so alto
gether ridiculous.
There is such a thing as a govern
ment bond with no maturity date. We
haven't anything of the kind here but
two or three other countries have

companies do their borrowing Cor part
of it) similarly. Their obligations
Bear interest and are negotiable. They
are more like stock than they are
like bonds. They do not represent
loans; they represent investments. So
far as private concerns are concern
ed I do not see much difference be-
tween that sort of bonds and prefer
red stock. But a government does not
sell stock in itself. It may borrow: on
non-Eaturing bonds however. AS pre-
viously remarked. Uncle Sam never
has done it, but as stable a govern
ment as John Bulls has, and it has
worked satisfe ctorily. These borrow
ings' principal never will be settled
for, but their interest always will be
gilt edged so long as j. Bulls solvency
is recognized-and whenever it is not
so recognized, nothing financial will
be recognized any longer.
