"Salem people made a big flurry about wanting homes but as soon as they discovered it would oust something to build them, they backed out. "If anybody wants to take over the association I believe the direc tors wolud dispose of it for what It coat." These were statements of Fred A.

Questioned whether he believed the association would have succeea ed had it' been properly exploited, Mr. Legge said he believed it might hnve. "We might have made it go through advertising," he agreed, "but the association wasn't an in vestment company. Itsi purpose was generally known, too." Only 20 per cent down was re- quirea ty the association from man wno desired to build a house. the builder was reauired to own a lot fre of all incumbrances, and to have one-fifth of the cost of the nouse. When people found they had to pay 20 per cent down, they lost in terest and baked out," Mr. Legge declared. "They said they didn't nave the money." Only Few Even Inquired. Only about eight or ten people even inquired about the nrosnosl Hon the association had to offer, he said. "It cost about $500 to organize the association, and if anybody, working for the good of Salem. should want to take over the or ganizatlon, I believe he would be permitted to do so," Mr. Legge said. Manager Legge said that the asso elation is still open for business and readyto acoemmodate any prospec tive builder who wants to make Sa lem his home. Neither he or any body else is receiving a salary for services perofrmed, he said.
