PORTLAN DCS GAIN 6 PER CElNT Spokane Falls 96, Greatest m Country j Government Work Not Considered. Building permits Issued In the prlnci pal cities of the United State during the month of June totaled less than for the month of May and also leas than for June, 1JV7. Official figures for 144 cities, as recorded by the" American Con tractor of Chicago, aggregate $45,345, MS for the month of June, compared with $50,446,022 for the month of May, and 182.747,015 for June, 1917. The decrease, compared with June of last year, was only 27 per cent, being the smallest decrease since last Seo- tember. Losses have now been contlnu ous since last September. This is not surprising, considering the high cost of - all building materials and the disco ur - agement of unnecessary building by the government. . These statistics do not Include the vast amount of construction work being done -9 4 by the government. The figures indl cats fairly the amount of absolutely es sential work now under way In the country.' -This consists mainly of fac tory and residence construction, though In soma communities schools and other buildings are considered necessary. An unusually large percentage of the permits Issued during June were for re pairs and extensions. Absence of large structures Is indicated by the relatively slight decrease in the total number of permits Issued, there being 21.112 issued during June, 1918, compared with 22,734 In June of. last year. The average lse of the permits for June is about $2200, compared with 12670 for June, 1917 Only 61 cities of the 144 reporting show gains over June of last year. These are for the most part centers of war activity. Portland is shown tor have gained per cent in total permits Issued over June of last year. Figures re norted for cities In Pacific Coast states - for the month of June are as follows : No. of Buildings. ... 606 ... S76 268 ... 70 Portland Seattle .

Spokane leads the 144 cities of the country in the percentage of loss com pared with June of last year, and Ho boken, N. J-. shows the greatest per centage of gain, the record being 2065 per cent over June, 1917. Hoboken's total permits for June numbered 24, compared with 16 for the same month of last year, their value for June being $227,234. compared with $10,493 for the same month last year. Homestead Sought On Unique Grounds The State Bank of Portland received a letter last week from a Chicago man asking the bank to act as agent in fil ing on a homestead of 160 acres. The writer, -explains by way of introduction that he Is an American citisen, born in the United States, that his father fought In the Civil war and others of his ances try in the Revolutionary war. He ought with this record to have a fair knowledge of the industrial devel opment of the country, and in view of the tons' of "development literature sent East from Oregon during the past several years, his letter is a remarkable one. He writes: "I herewith make application to enter upon 160 acres, more or less, of good alley land, suitable for fruit or agricul ture. If possible on a river large enough for at least a 60 or 60-foot boat, as . near as possible to wagon road and rail . road, and within auto distance of Port- A substantial check was inclosed to meet the expense of entry with the re quest that it be returned if land answer ing the above description is not avail able. The check will probably reach Chicago by Monday. Humane Society Is Owner of New Home The Oregon Humane society, through Albert Cowperthwalte, president of the organisation, has purchased two acres of Improved land overlooking the Colum hi a slough. Buildings now on the prem ises are said to be well suited to the present needs of the society. At a later date it is understood that new structures will be erected. IThe price paid for the land was $3500. ! At a recent meeting of the executive board of the society President Cowperthwalte was author ised to make the purchase. Immediate possession will be taken and alterations made to suit the purposes of the new owners. The land lies conveniently to Columbia boulevard and the Vancouver canine. The Oregon Humane society was or ganisea m ibbz and has never before owned a permanent home. The society was forced to vacate the property on tne canyon road, where It has been quartered for several years, in order to make room for the Home for Delinquent 'Where to: Get It" KEMMERER and ROCK SPRINGS COAL TO CUEA1TK8T AND BIST BUIUfBfa CRYSTAL ICE a STORAGE Km 844 B124. - wood, load lots, 6 load.

Turner. That the Portland realty market has not yet accustomed itself to the city's new Industrial development Is evidenced by recent sales of both vacant and Im proved property. During the tnree or lour years immediately preceaing ine entry of the United States into the Eu ropean war, property values dropped to a rather low ebb throughout tne cuy. Lack of faith in the permanency of war time prosperity has so far preventea ae cided reaction from former low levels. Though the demand for moderate priced residence property continues and Is In fact Increasing with the Influx of thousands of shipyard workmen. It Is still possible to buy modern homes at less than the present cost of construc tion. . This Is instanced In the transfer last week of a five-room modern bungalow at 770 East Seventy-first street from Edward a Toung to F. B. Turner, con sideration being approximately $2500. Mr. Turner is a contractor and builder and he declares that the price paid for this property is less than the cost of construction of tke house would amount to under present price conditions. This sale was made through Frank Ij. McGuire. Among other sales reported by Mr. McGuire are tne iouowing : ft F. Stevens to H. S. Jones, five modern house at -180 Bancroft avenue for $2000. This is West Side property knd is located one block from two car line. The estimated cost of HiiAtnr the house at present Is $3000. Mrs. Cora Bullock purchased from F A. Bilvernall a five-room house at 606 East Ash street for $1900. Mrs. Bul lock will occupy the property as a home. B. F. Rlggs last week bought the new -1917- Estimated No. of Estimated Pet. Buildings.

Plans are being prepared for a four- story brick and concrete structure to be erected by Portland labor unions at the southeast corner of Fourth and Jeffer son streets. The property was pur chased by the labor organisations sev eral months ago for $25,000. a price con siderably lower than the value placed upon this corner In the past. Estimated cost of the proposed Labor temple Is approximately $100,000. The building will be modern and attractive and will he fitted up with offices, audi toriums, reading and lounging rooms, billiard rooms, and equipped with every convenience for the comfort of Port land's 40,000 union men. Construction will be financed by the sale of $6 Interest-bearing certificates. According to Otto Hartwlg, president of the State Federation of Labor, $60,000 worth of these certificates has already been sold. On account of the need of funds for various war activities, the certificates have been withdrawn from the market: The sale of the balance of the certificates has been pledged and the funds are forthcoming on demand. according to Mr. Hartwlg. It Is expected that building operations wilt begin some time In September. The demand for labor and materials in es sential industries has prevented erection of the building at an earlier date. Labor union officials say that their orranisa tions will do nothing to Interfere in any way with the program outlined by the national government. "The raising of funds for the erection of the new Labor temple is the least of our difficulties," said Mr. Hartwig. "In fact, we could raise a much lareer amount ty the sale of our Interest-bear ing certificates. The sale has been lim ited to members of labor organ iaatiefha though there are many applications for certificates from persons not affiliated with labor anions." - .

Mr. RIkks considers that he secured his home at a very rea sonable price.' Another sale of low priced property is recorded by Mr, McGuire in the transfer of No. 702 Highland street from .Eliaa beth Newman to Martha S. Holmes. Home buyers are beginning to look to the outlying districts Instead of attempt ing to find close-in bargains, and the results are proving satisfactory both to realty dealers and purchasers. The in clination to find homes in the outlying districts has also hit the renters, ac cording to real estate men. During the past week, dealers say, there has been an increased demand for houses for rent located 20 or 30 minutes' car ride from the city. STANDIFER EMPLOYES TO HAVE HOTEL AND BUNGALOW HOUSES Fine Three-Story Hotel aqd 100 Modern Homes to Be Built at Vancouver. ' The G. M.

Liberty hospital will bo the name ap plied to a new Institution which the Homeopathic Medical society of Oregon proposes to open in Portland during the next few months. Several years ago the society began the erection of a building for hospital purposes at the southeast corner of East Third and Hssaalo streets. . The building was only partially com pleted and has never been put to any use. - . - The society, paid 30.000for the block occupied by the hospital and expended approximately $50,000 , In construction work. The building is of four stories and basement and covers ground space 60 by 160. feet. The frame is of rein forced concrete with pressed brick ve neer. The basement is finished In con crete and the floors and roof are of reinforced concrete. Dr. A. 8. Nichols, Zr. H. C.-Jeffords, BARBUR INSISTS WORN PAVEMENTS MUST BE FIXED Bad . Holes . Along Side Rails of Car Tracks Are toJJe Put Into Safe Condition for Traffic. CONTRACTORS MUST DO BIT Commissioner of Public Works Inaugurates Campaign for Traffic Betterment in City.' uangerous noies in pavements at street crossings are to be eliminated and vehicle traffic will be bettered under the new plan of Commissioner A. L. Barbur of the public works department. The inauguration of the new work Is under taken In connection with the operation of the dtr paving plant. Special atten tion will .be paid the improvement of the area oi me street car tracks In the effort to have the Portland Railway. Light & Power company and mivate contractors keep up with their end of tne jod. -'ine department has been piacea in cnarge of M. Steven Miller. Accoramg to Commissioner Barbur. the condition of the tracks and nv. ment between the tracks along several of the city lines in the past few years has become deplorable and a disgrace to the city. Many complaints from auto mobile owners and all who are com polled to cross downtown streets have been made. Traffic Congestion Deplored To cross a busy street It la neceaaarv for a person to keep his eye on trafflo in order to secure his own safety. Un der present conditions it Is not safe to proceed across the street without watch ing out for dangerous holes, says Mr. Barbur. .Reviewing the problem, he said: -wnen our aowntown streets were paved, the car tracks were constructed but their trafflo was increased in nro portion to the rest of the town, and we now have the condition of rolling stocks and traffic heavier than the roadbed was calculated for. This overloading naa tne eneet or loosening the tracks, causing settlement and consequent breaking down of the pavement along the rails. "This condition is worse along the tracks and streets leading to the bridges, as the stopping of a vehicle next to the curb compels, moving traffic to -use the car track area. Drivers of motor ve hicles are chary of crossing the tracks fer fear of tearing their tires. The re sult Is a condition of bad congestion of traffic, especially during the rush hours. Early Say Plana Upset 'To solve the problem Mr. Miller Is investigating methods used 'in other cities. Including, the best plan of track construction, that will reduce the cost of upkeep of the track area and add to the life of -Jhe pavement next to the track area. "Founders of the city of Portland, In laying out the townsite, believed that the main thoroughfare would be parallel to the river. With this thought In mind, most of the streets were made $0 feet wide, while streets at right angles to the river were made 60 feet wide. Sub sequent growth of the city upset these plans, because the heaviest traffic did not follow the wider streets, but instead was thrown on to the 60-foot streets. With the advent of the first street rail way system business became centered along its tracks. The East Side began to expand after the construction of the bridges. Mqgor traffic grew impidly and the problem of the narrow streets be came serious. Agitation for the widen lng of Washington street has been In termlttent for several years." BE FINISHED i'vX. :' A ' Dr. David Breuere and .other officers and members of the Hoirieopathic soci ety are endeavoring to secure a fund of $100,000 to finance the completion of the Duucung ana pay tor hospital equip ment. According to officers - of the society, negotiations are about to be com pleted for raising the necessary money and It la planned to begin construction wora at an- eariy aaie. It Is proposed to have the new hospital finished and ready for occupancy bv ti time wounded men begin arrivlna- home from the battle fields of France. Equip ment will be provided for the -accommodation of several hundred men' and It is planned to make Liberty hospital prominent factor In the restoration of health to, victims of the war. . It is understood that the Homeopathic society expects to receive government assistance in ,nnancmg this project.

The city is now undertak ing to hasten the. work ot repairing IS BIG PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE OF PORTLAND With Capacity Already Crowded, Influx of 15,000 in Few Months Has Officials Guessing. Attempts to solve Portland's housing problem are limited to building oper ations on the part of private enter prise. There are now approximately 500 houses planned or under construction in the city. Of this number, it is said, not more than 50 per cent will be ready for occupancy during the next 90 days. in the meantime the demand for moder ate priced homes continues to increase and the influx of thousands of work men Into the city Will soon result in I an Intolerable condition. During the past week the attention of The Journal was called to the pre dicament of a skilled mechanic who came to Portland to work in a shipyard. With his wife and one child he spent the first night In a hotel and the next morning started out to find a three room apartment. A two days' search, failed to locate a desirable apartment where children would be permitted. Imagine the brand of patriotism that will turn away children from an apart ment house when housing conditions are such as exist In Portland today! The case cited above is not an Iso lated one. Any real estate man in Portland will testify to the fact that hundreds of shipyard workers are in the market for rented apartments or houses and that many hundreds of them are anxious to buy their homes. Where are they to find homes? The committee appointed Jointly by the Port land Realty board and the Chamber of Commerce is evidently unable to find an answer to the question. They were, according to the report of their chair man, unable to secure even $250,000 capital in Portland to finance a housing corporation. Assistance from the government In financing housing operations was frowned upon some months ago by officials of the Chamber of Commerce. Recently It Is understood that this assistance is being sought. Advices from Washington. D. C, however, in dicate that the bureau of industrial housing Is being importuned for much greater aid In supplying houses for workmen than it can extend with its nresent appropriations. Projects rrom bo ciues nave neen ap- nroved by the housing bureau at a total estimated cost of $189,295,000, near It twice the amount of funds available. and many other housing projects are now under consideration. The problem now Is to induce private capital to construct the dwellings and other build ings for which the government is un able to supply funds. A few owners of vacant property, purchased for Investment, are dispos ing of their holdings by erecting moder ate priced houses and selling them for cash or on terms. Jaeger .Bros., through the Cosy Home Construction company, have under construction a groups of SI houses In St. Johns and report the sale of 10 of them. Other similar projects under way In various parts of the city report the same waiting market for homes. But the movement Is not yet broad enough to have any marked effect on the housing situation. Expansion of the shipbuilding and other Industries it is estimated will bring 15,000 additional workmen to the city during the .next few months and according to realty men well qualified to judge It Is up to Portland property ownera and capitalists to provide places for them -to live- with their families.
