Statistics just released by the
Bureau OF Labor Statistics at
Washington, ID. c. reveal that al
though Detroit ranks third In
building construction In the Unit
ed States, less than 10 per cent OF
the Negroes OF Detroit are now
buying or building homes
Some OF Detroit's leading col
ored builders and real estate
dealers attribute the small per-
centage OF home building by color
ed citizens to certain restrictions
placed upon them. The area known
as the Grand Boulevard district and
adjacent localities. in which many
colored citizens reside. have been
prescribed by local banks and fin
ance firms. so that Negro home
owners in those nelghborhoods
have found II more or less inn
possible 10 obtain FILA insured
loans for renovating or purchas-
ing property there.
According TO the recent report OF
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, De-
troIt I'm 1921 ranked fifth In the dol
lar value OF building permits. Now

building field. being outranked only
By New York City and los Angeles.

Warning Against Viciousness OF
Marihuana, Given By The Police

According to Detective Lieuten-
ant Wallie Williams, OF Special
Investigation squad OF the Detroit
Police department, citizens are be-
coming alarmed over the increas-
ing use OF marihuana by young peo-
ple. in search OF new thrills. The OF
fcer further states that every ef-
fort is being exerted TO curb the
sale and use OF this dreaded weed.
hut declares that the effective pro-
paganda and the cooperation OF
all citizens are needed TO stamp
out the evil.
The leaves and Towering tips OF
the marihuana weed are used TO
make a form OF cigarette, called the
'reefer," Lieutenant Williams re-
veals. and he adds. 1.-THE use OF this
weed can cause the user TO become
insane and do things they would
not do under normal conditions.
Many cuttings. fights. robberies
and sex crimes have been commit
ter by REFER smokers.
The officer continues:
Because Of the low cost OF grow
ing the weed and manufacturing
the "reefer cigarettes" there Is
danger that the underworld will
eventually take this illegal business
over and develop big racket In the
sale and distribution OF the weed,
which will be difficult to control.
The public Is not fully aware OF
the harmful effect OF marihuana
upon society. and II is up to the
iaw-abiding people to see that this
evil Is cleaned up

Mayor is
Lauded BY


In resolution adopted at a
meeting held last Friday. the Fred
erick Douglass Forum endorsed the
citizens committee created by
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries to study
the source OF the recent distur-
bance on Belle Isle, and to offer a
prevention for any future out
break.
At the same time the resolution
criticised the police. placing the
responsibility for the riot on Their
shoulders. and also accused the
papers OF attempting to suppress
this fact
The resolution reads as follows;
July rs, 1910.
Gentlemen:
whereas. we have read accounts
and reports in the press about the
recent outbreak at Belle Isle; and
whereas. practically all OF these
accounts blamed the Negro people
for the disturbance; and,
whereas. we have listened 70
speakers who have pointed out that
the police were largely responsible
for this disturbance, a fact which
the papers have carefully avoided
or concealed,
"Be is therefore resolved that
we. the Frederick Douglass Forum
commend the action OF Mayor JET
fries in setting up Citizens Com
mIttee under the leadership OF
Senator Charles c. Digs, to secure
all information and 10 make recon-
mendatlons that such happenings
shall not occur again.
"Be Is further resolved. that we
recommend discipline for the po-
licemen responsible. II such re-
sponsibility can be proved.
COPIES Of this resolution are sent
TO the press"
