Cautious Policy Forecast
On Public HOUSING
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June 7.-Mor-
ton Bodflsh of the United States
Savings and Loan League, Wash
ington, predicted yesterday that
Congress would 60 slowly in ap-
propriating additional money for
public housing until the results OF
money already spent were seen.
Speaking before the first days
session of the 18th Annual Confer
ence of members of the Virginia
State League of Local Building and
Loan Associations, Bodhsh said
many of the public housing projects
were not serving in any way to
clar slums, but were providing tax
free homes for persons of moderate
incomes.
DR.. David S. Prosser, professor of
economics at the Norfolk division
of the College of William and Mary,
foresaw period of moderate pros
perity in the near future as a re-
suit of the armament-building pro-
gram and the trade with the Allies.
However, he said the fact that con-
ditions are unsettled would prevent
any real boom.
Paul M. Stoner, acturial and
financial chief of the Division of
Research and Statistics of the Fed
eral Housing Authority. produced
figures indicating that building
costs now are almost as high as they
were in 1924 and that as many home
loans are being made as in 1925.

NEW YORK, June IA block of
10000 shares of stock of National
City Bank of New York will be put
up for sale at public auction in Jer-
sey City today by Adrian H. Muller
& Son, Auctioneers.
The name of the owner of the

whom it may concern"
There were reports the stock
might be that held by some large
estate being settled. There were
other reports the shares belonged
to some one needing quick cash.
Financial observers pointed out
that while the block was large, Sc
curities auctions were not uncom-
mon. In thin markets such as seen
recently, shares would have to be
fed to buyers in small blocks if dis
posed of through the usual open
market channels, whereas via the
auction block groups usually are or
ganized in Wall street to bid for the
offerings in large parcels.

quoted at $22.25 a share, bid; $23.75
