64 Per Cent
Gain Shown
In Building
November has proved an up
grade building month here, build
ing permit figures compiled at the
city building inspector's office
last night reveal. The total cost
of construction for which permits
have been Issued this month,
1930S, represents a gain of 64
per cent over November, 1932,
and 15 per cent over November,
1931.
This record is enhanced by
comparisons witn October per
mits, which showed a 20 percent
gain over 1932 but sharp decreas
es from 1931 and previous totals.
Of the 41 permits Issued in Sa
lem this month, ten have been for
new construction to cost 36795.
Four of these went to Dr. G. E.
Prime who is have four 31000 du
plex bungalows built at 837-867
South Commercial street. The
other large permit, Issued to Mrs.
B. L. Steeves, was for a $2000
service station being erected at
656 North High street.
Permits for repairs and alter
310 to $350 each.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. VP)
War debt bargaining continued
today with an offer of 3150,000
by Czechoslovakia on an install
ment of $1,682,812 due Demeber
15.
William Phillips, acting secre
tary of state, held out for $180,
000 the amount Czechoslovakia
gave last June as a token payment
on $1,500,000 then due.
Great Britain's token payment
of $7,500,000 on a total due of
$117,680,765 was approved ' by
the president on November! ?.
Since Czechoslovakia's offer Is
relatively much higher than the
British payment and since silver
will not be accepted next month
as it was last June the Czechoslov-
axian minister urged mat ms oi
fer be approved.
Italy has made a token offer ot
$1,000,000 on $2,133,955 due De
cember 15. This has not yet re
ceived President Roosevelt's ap
proval. . State department officials also
have debt conversation with rep
resentatlves of Finland Latvia and
several other lesser debtors.
The total amount due Decem
ber 15 from 12 foreign powers Is
$153,024,327.

lined his plan to a few merchants

Industry will have no tie-in with
the state flax plant, which now
utilises Cax from .about 2,500
acres.
As Mr. Laws recalls, the Lip
man proposals call for construc
tion of a. large flax mill in Sa
lem, with several scutching plants
to be located at strategic points
over the .valley, thus saving to
flax growers the cost ot , long
hauls.
The Willamette valley Is the
only district on the -coast that
successfully grows flax, and with
50,000 acres here suitable tor
flax production, the loan from the
PWA may .result in giving this
valley a virtual monopoly on the
flax industry in the United States.
