Figures for .144 Cities of U. S.
Show Decrease of 27 Per

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

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

Modern bungalow at 770 East Seventy-first street, purchased as a borne
by F. B. 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.

BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE
OF LABOR TO RISE
Plans for Four-Story Brick and
Concrete Structure Being Pre
pared; Cost to Be $100,000.
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." - .

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.

diers by the Homeopathic Medical Society of Oregon.
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.

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."

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

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.
