Since the first of the year there
hare been 113 permits issued for
new homes in Salem. In addition
there were '44 permits' for home
improvements. These 157 permits
represented a total of valuation of
$380,000. of which $357,200 was
for new dwellings and $22,800 for
alterations and, repairs. Based
upon these figures, it is evident
that Salem is a city of the average

of the 113 permits was $3150, ap

a small cottage of one or two
rooms to more pretentions places
of $6000 to $8000, of which there
have been a great many, though
the majority of dwellings were be
tween $3000 and $4000.
According to various real estate
men of the city, the demand is for
the average priced house, running
between $2500 and $3500. Inquir
ies for this priced properties are
being made constantly.
Just which portion of the city
has,, the greatest number of new
houses .is .hard to ascertain, for
the building, seems to be general,
and for every house that is built
north of State there appears to be
one built south of State. V. t
Not all the building is confined
to the medium priced homes. This
is evidenced in several homes of
a pretentious nature that are un
der construction. T. A. Livesley
is spending $65,000 on a residence
at 330 Lincoln on the hill south
of Salem and west of Commercial.
This residence will be one of the
show places of the Willamette val-
ley when completed, as it will be
one of the finest outside of the
large country estates around Port
land. : From the- elevation it will
be possible to have a view of Sa
lem, the surrounding country and
the Willamette Tiver. Iii addition
to the residence, Mr. Livesley will
spend several thousands of dol
lars in obtaining , pleasing land
scape effects.
To counterbalance this prop
erty, Mrs. Claudius Thayer is
spending $24,000 for a modern
concrete and stucco dwelling on
north Capitol -just off of' Court
and r Curtis Cross $15,000 on a
modern home of the more expen
sive type. ' ' ' "
Contractors in touch' with the
building situation predict ; that
1924 will break previous records
for home building. Based upon
the figures , for the first four
months of the year. It is safe to
estimate that by the end of the
year there will be close to $1,000,-
000 worth of more new homes in
Salem. " 1 -
next week. Grading operations are
well under way for five blocks on
Winter, between State and Oak,
the entrance to the Salem auto
camp grounds. This will be black
surfaced in another fortnight.
Grading on North Twentieth be
tween Chemeketa and Center was
completed this week. This will be
paved with concrete. Three blocks
on South Fir have been graded
and one block on Saginaw is now
ready for hard surface material.
I The curb crew has completed its
activities on North Nineteenth,
North Fifteenth and North Cot
tage and will complete two blocks
on North Church In the near' fu
ture. Three blocks on Miller are
also included In the program tfiis
year.
j Under the paving program au
thorized, more than 60 city blocks
will be paved this season. Mr. Low
said. With the exception of 24
blocks of black-topping, the re
mainder will be paved with con
crete: Efforts are being made to
pave the streets that are used the
most as rapidity as possible, leav
ing the outlying streets until later
in the season. ,

By P. S. BARTON ;

Hhe American Institute of Archi-l-ta.
and la one of the organiza-
' ns - co-operating with. Better
me la America. The book Is
sued at cost price '25 cents.
-he picture above shows one of
e small house plans in the book
i published by Better Homes In
Serica, which Is specializing this
ar In- demonstrating how the
-jily of small or moderate means
i get the nost out of the family
-ome for the home, from the
adpoints of comfort economy,
I beauty.
Xerbert Hoover, Secretary of
amerce, has been identified with
Better Homes movement since
!cception. and Is president of
the organization Active dlrectioi
of the campaign is In the hands of
rlr. James Ford, whose picture is
shown above. ; Dr. Ford, who Is
a member of the faculty of Har
vard University, was granted spec
ial leave of absence in order that
he might take up the direction of
Better Homes in America.
... The first year of the movement
1922 about five hundred commun
ities demonstrated "better homes,
and the last , year the movement
was extended to about double that
number. This year ' many hund
reds of additional communities
will hold demonstrations. . Special
efforts are being made to extend
the educational movement to the
rural sections of the country. Spec-,
lal stress Is being laid, also, on
homes for American famUlM Of
small or moderate means. .

, While Grading Is General
i: Thro ugh out City r
; Paving operations in Salem this
year will not only be extensive but
they will be permanent and,of the
highest quality along - the coast,
according to Walter Low, street
commissioner. All of the concrete
paring that "will be done this year
will be similar to that placed on
South Liberty last year, which has
been pronounced by authorities as
one of the best jobs In the north
west. Only one other locality has a
better paving of this nature, and
that is a small section in Wash
ington, where a heavier pavement,
reinforced, was used. .
South Liberty, between Trade
and Ferry streets has been paved
and Is now in the process of sea
soning. It will be opened to traf
fie In a few weeks. Traded be
tween Church and Cottage, has
been graded and will be paved
f Now is the time to prepare for
Summer Radio! Several new
models of vacation sets are being
shown., The "Portable" will be
more in favor this summer than
ever before. All stations will
make extra efforts to put on the
very best programs fever produced.
Then, too, this summer will .wit
ness the first real radio presiden
tial campaign not to mention
prize fights and baseball games
broadcast play by play. When all
is said and done what is camp
without a radio? When you've
been wading a trout stream all
day and are enjoying a quiet
smoke by the fire after supper
what could be finer than an eve
nings radio entertainment? You
get the news, ball scores and the
best in entertainment. .
The neutrodyne and super
heterodyne continue to lead" in
popularity. Parts for these sets
may be obtainable locally and
these circuits will be found very
interesting to work with. Span
ish ; lessons as broadcast from
KGO are well worth taking. This
is just a forerunner of the educa
tional features that will be broad
cast In the near future. Our uni
versities will shortly broadcast
popular courses in many sub
jects.
Seldom has there been ' sucn a
storm of protest raised , all over
the country as has been caused by
the proposed 10 per cent tax on
radio Such a tax would give a
serious setback to the progress of
radio. To tax radio in this way
would prohibit many people, from
owqing radio sets. .The proposed
bill merely shifts the tax from
autos and candy to mah jong and
radio. Write your protests to
Senator Hiram Johnson or Sam
uel Shortridge, Washington, D. C,
and write at once!
"When you tune In a distant
station whose signals are so weak
you can sea rely hear them, con
necting" a crystal detector in the
grid circuit between the grid con
denser and the vacuum tube will
often work wonders in increasing
the sound. -Broadcast Program
, Great preparations are being
made for the Radio Show,' which
will be held In the Civic audito
rium, San Francisco, August 16 to
21.; One, hundred and fifty man
ufacturers will exhibit., This will
be the largest . Radio Show ever
held. It will pay you to go.

ndian washerwomen who -of late
have been prevented from earn?
ing their livelihood ;by a foot and
mouth blocade which -kept them
on the Indian reservation across
the Colorado river from here and
completely cut them off from their
Arizona customers, today were up
to their necks in suds again, autb-
orities .having decided to lift the
blockade insofar as it affected
Indians, .
No compromise was reached on
the i fumigation question, how
ever, and all the . barefooted In
dians laundresses and wood chop
pers crossing the bridge from Cal
ifornia into Arizona were required;-
despite their,reluctance, ; to
paddle their feet in formaldehyde
solution and wiggle their toes in a
septic sawdust.-
