MORE LOW COST HOUSING

readers know was among the Housing Authority the
Commute for Slum Clearance and private interests.
The people of Miami went to the polls on two

right on and every possible effort made by private
interest to defeat it.
Those opposed claimed that private interest could do
the Slum clearance job and doing it,

WHAT A DIFFERENCES!

An interesting sidelight the enormous difference
between free competitive economy and controlled, po-
li6caly bossed economy is found in New York Times
news item concerning change in the British governments

There has been competition in the sale of gas in
England since 19S9-a of it has been marketed under
pool arrangement The policy will mark return to
competition SO far premium grades concerned.

The Times story said Now that competition is about
to be reroduced the oil companies have started
in training their employee in service and courtesy" The
inference here certainly plain In the absence of
petition there is need for service courtey-and if
the customer doesn't like it he can lump it.
This also provides a revealing contrast with the way
gas and other oil products sold in the U.s. When the
customer drives in his windshield cleaned his tires

that the going right by instead of driving in
This is true throughout all American industry big and
