Timber-SalVage Job Nearly
COMPLETED in New England

the trees had to be cut into logs.
The logs had to be hauled to ponds
for storage and later graded. clas-
sified. and processed for sale.
Portable sawmills had to be set
UP in various areas since existing
mills did not have sufficient ca
pacity.
Fire Hazard
Whole states had TO be protected
from fire hazard. Arrangements
for fire protection were made with
the work projects administration
and civilian conservation corps
camps in the areas affected. These
agencies worked through the
United States forest service.
The Disaster Loan corporation,
established in 1887. IL empowered
to make loans to relieve conditions
following hurricanes. earthquakes,
and other catastrophes. II has an
authorized capital Of $40. 000. 900.
Of which S22 900 900 has been paid
up by the RFC.
Rapid Progress Reported
The corporation reports rapid
progress In the salvaging opera
tion. Up to December more than
613. 600. 900 feet In scale logs had
been turned over to the Northeast
Timber Salvage association. estab-
lished In the six New England
states, which II handling actual
salvage operations. Timber sawed
totaled 2e4,527. 900 feet, with %
sawmills In operation.
At the peak OF employment. the
work being carried out involved
100 scalers. $50 graders, and 900
administrative employees. In sd-
dition, between 10000 and $4,000
WPA and CCC workers have been
engaged In checking fire hazard.
When the operation has been
completed New England will have
been saved millions Of dollars. In
dividual log owners are being en-
abled to deliver their logs to ponds
for scaling and to finance salvsg-
ing Of their timber without . seri-
Gus drain on cash resources.
Timber owners, furthermore,
benefit from protection of the lum-
Der market afforded by the salvag-
Ing program. One object Of the
present program II the orderly
marketing Of all the lumber to
protect owners from losses caused
by price disruptions.

peace detectives for a group Of
Protestant churchmen, who called
on him to report criticism Of his
appointment Of Myron c. Taylor
as personal emissary to Pope Plus
XII.
The president said he asked the
churchmen to maintain secrecy on
the nature Of these peace objec-
tives. He did so because he feels
that at this time they should not
be reduced to any formal series Of
proposals that might be character
lied by such a term as IA points"
His detectives, Roosevelt said at
a press conference, are not points
at all, but are merely ideals.
But he intimated strongly that
he Is crystallizing in his own mind
q series Of detectives or ideals,
which he believes must be the pre-
requisite Of any just and lasting
peace.

There u nothing in sight to stop
1910 from being the biggest year
for the United States building in
dustry since 1929, according to w,
c. Bell. chairman OF Western
Homes Foundation. In q state
ment issued with the Foundation s
first home-plan release Of the new
year, Bell cited the unanimity of
national building authorities on the
outlook for 1910, and the fact that
construction has gone ahead in
Great Britain since the outbreak
Of war.
when Europe went to war there
was fear in this country that our
home building might be slowed
down by q boom in war-supply in
dustries here, a rise in building
costs, and doubt in the public mind
as to the future Of home values"
Bell said. But the showdown has
not materialized. There has been
no jump in building costs. The
most striking movement Of 1889
in BODYBUILDING has continued to
expand. This Is the movement of
families from the older city and
town neighborhoods to new homes
on large suburban lots and county
acreage.
New Centers Developed
1T Is interesting to note that
this parallels the housing move
ment in England. The older in
dustrial areas Of that country are
still stagnant. New centers of in
dustry have been developed, par
ticularly through the defense pro-
gram. Tens of thousands Of new
homes Of the American detached
small-home type have been built.
They are mostly garden homes.
They contrast 20 wonderfully with
the bleak old-time tenements In
industrial districts created in the
last century that they foster popu-

IN ECONOMIES
Report Big Savings In
1889 in Low-rent
Projects

WASHINGTON - Savings OF
more than s35o. 900 in the cost OF
construction Of iow-rent rehous-
ing projects were effected during
1889 by the United States housing
authority through economies and
improvements worked out in col
liberation with the national bu-
reau Of standards.
Already. a large cross-section

methods of cutting down on costs.
according to Nathan Straus. ad-
ministrator Of the USHA, with .
view Of adapting them to private
industry and thus reduce costs

the public housing program Ii de-
signed to reach
Based on Research
Chief among these economies
were those brought about In the
selection OF materials and the i'm
provements of construction meth
DDS based on research and testing.
Major economies and improve
ments upon which USHA tech
nicians and bureau Of standards
experts are collaborating are:
Elimination of cracks In ma
sorry walls supporting solid con-
crete floor slabs. Studies on the
composition Of masonry mortars
and masonry units have resulted
In Improvement In specifications,
inspection and workmanship which
should save many dollars in MAIN
tenance costs.
Heating Big Items
Specifications for heating equip
ment, which may save as much as
$3.50 per dwelling unit, are being
developed by studies and expert
mental work and conferences with
manufacturers. Heating equipment
costs are an important part of
capital costs and heating expense
IL 4 major item in rent.
Savings In the cost Of roofing
also are anticipated from studies
and Investigations which the bu-
reau Of standards Is conducting
for the USHA. These viii enable
the USHA to evaluate capital cost
and maintenance expense of the
different roofings available for the
various uses required in the USHA
program and to determine the rela-
tive value of newly developed ap-
plications and material for roof
ing.
More Economical Design
Much work also has been done
by the collaboration between the
USHA and the bureau Of stand
ards for the modernization and ra-
tionalization of municipal build
ing codes, to permit more econom-
ical design in accordance with
demonstrated capacities of mate
rails. Tests conducted thus far
have indicated that fire resist
ance requirements and structural
strengths can be reduced without
increasing hazard. Further tests
along these lines, however. must
be made before specific recon-
mendations can be drafted.
In announcing these savings,
which are expected to. be consid-
erably greater during 1910 as the
USHA program moves into its
construction peak, straus pointed
out that the USHA has drawn
heavily on the national bureau Of
standards for much of its labora-
tory Investigations.

This has been brought about TO
. large extent" Mcdonald said.
by the fact the FILA has insisted
upon minimum construction re-
quirsments and property standards
for low-priced homes ~ well ~ for
the higher-priced ones. Plans and
specifications are being worked out
carefully for houses costing 5000
~ they always have been for those
priced at $4,000.
Profit In Attracttvsaess
Once this insistence upon style
and architectural attractiveness
became established. builders dis

materials was more profitable in
the long run. They found 1t was

Census Gives
Nogales
Population 1854

The 1910 federal census gives No
gales population Of 1854, it was
announced yesterday by Don Smith,
secretary Of the Santa Cruz County
Chamber of Commerce. This is a
decrease in population of 1852 since
1880 when the total was 6006.
Despite the drop, the trading
population is probably as high a.
it was in 1880 when it is taken int
consideration that many new peo-
pie have come into the county tic
past ten years and Nooales gets tllf
benefit OF their spending.
A large number If people who
lived here ten years ago are work
ing at dude ranches and mines in
the country adjacent to Nogales.
Notwithstanding the decrease in
population there is probably & more
serious shortage of modern homes
here now than there was in 1880.

The International
Founded Is
Years Ago Today

The Nogales international is IS
years old today.
It was founded on May 25, 1925,
by its present owner and in the 10
cation it has occupied all of those
years. Founded as Democratic pa
per it is still loyal to the Demo
cratic party.
Many changes have taken place
here since 1925. In that year there
were no paved streets, only one flood
control tunnel under the city, no
Elks building, no Gebler building,
no high school gymnasium, no Kress
building, no Woolworth building, no
Cavern Cafe, no Armory, no night
clubs in NogaleS, Sonora, no Monte
yuma Ballroom, no service station
opposite the Nogales Theater, no
Chesrihe Motor Company building,
no civic building, no new Catholic
church.
Nogales, like all towns, has had
its ups and downs since 1925. Two
banks died during the depression
IL 1881, the army post passed out
of existence.
Many new business enterprises
have been established here since
1925, the tourist trade has increased
by leaps and bounds, mining has
picked up, the cattle business is
booming, and all in all Nogales to-
day is in much better shape than
is years ago.
