THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921 [OUSINC SHORTAGE iS ALMOST NATION-WIDE . W. Work, Regional Director of the National Real Estate Board, Makes Report at Realty Session - '* That practically every city in the Jnited States of any size or import- ince is suffering from the same con- litions of housing shortage that pre- vails on the north shore was the re- [port of J. W. Work at a meeting this [week of the Exanston Real Estate Iboard. Mr. Work has recently returned From the executive committee meeting [of the National Association of Real Estate boards at which the housing situation was the chief matter under [consideration. ,At that meeting some 300 cities all over the United States [made reports as to the conditions in their districts.____ All Need Money "In practically every case the an- swer was the same," he said. "We 'could build if we could find the money 'and if costs would come down. Of all the 300 cities reporting there were only five that declared that operations in residence building was commensu- rate with their needs. "Indianapolis, New Orleans, Kansas City and one or two others reported activity in the building of high-class homes, above 10,000 in cost. Augusta, Georgia and Superior, Wis., where the only two cities that denied having a housing shortage. . "There were 43 cities that reported no reduction in labor costs, 41 report- ed greater efficiency in their labor and 17 stated that labor in their cities ^was idler Report Is Optimistic "Tulsa, Okla., reputed to have the greatest per capita wealth of any city in the United States, made the most optimistic report. They Wave open shop there, no labor troubles and a world of building operations. Labor- ers can be had there at $2 a day and skilled workmen at commensurate rates. They report building operations there more than sufficient to their needsr FonrtgÂ¥fi~c1ties reported activ- ity in the erection of commercial buildings." Mr. Work'stated that the impossi- bility of getting money at a reason- able rate was another matter to which the realtors devoted a great deal of time and attention. "It- is our conclusion that the build- ing trades will not see six per cent money for three or four years yet," he said, "in fact we'll be tickled to death for some time to come to be able to get it at seven percent."

Generally these so-called "helps," disinfectants, etc., are of little account and frequently injure thp gprvirp more thnn they improve it. Many of these devices get the lines and instru- ments jn to trouble, whereupon the Company, to protect its servicers obliged to remove them. Rubber earpiece attachments do not increase the sounds received, and often make it impos- sible to hang the telephone properly upon the switchhook. As good results can be obtained by covering one ear with the palm of the hand. Telephone instruments, necessarily very sensi- tiveâ€"and-intrlcate.have been designed to^ -produce the best results as they are. In the interest of good service,, subscribers are fe- ttachments of any kind to their instruments. ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY SUBSCRIBE FOR YODR=eseAL PAPER SAVE MONEY
