A reappearance of private capital fcr projects previously rejected by bond houses has been noted in numerous regions.

In some cases applications for loans from the government credit agency have been withdrawn with the explanation that local capital has been obtained. Extension of the Pasadena water system was cited as an lustration. Just when the reconstruction finance corporation was prepared to authorize a loan of $7 000 000. word was received from the California city that its bonds, which previously had gone begging, had been taken up. Probably the first loan of the corporation for a self liquidating project will be to the metropolitan water district of Los Angeles, which has asked for $40,000,000 on a $220,000,000 project to supply thirteen cities with water from the Hoover dam.

The engineering and financial phases of the project have been approved and approval of the legal phase is imminent. Corporation officials. In citing this project as conforming to regulations adopted under the law, stressed the factor of labor, pointing out that projects to receive loans must not only possess engineering and financial soundness but must create jobs, inasmuch as one of the objects of the legislation is to relieve unemployment. One housing project In New York, designed to eliminate a slum area, was said to be well advanced. Two other projects submitted by the city of New York have been withdrawn with the explanation that local credit suddenly has become available.

It is believed that the credit easement which followed the change in the majority was responsible. MILLS INTERPRETS RULING. Public Works Program Will Be Reduced to $90,000,000. He Says. WASHINGTON, September 8 (A.P.) Ogden L.

The President's conference on home building and home ownership, after a pioneering survey of nearly 3.000 homes in forty states, says poorly planned and Inefficient housing "is largely responsible for much needless impairment of home and family life In present day America." Defects such as awkward arrangement of rooms, inefficient kitchens, lack df storage space and not enougb space for privacy were found to be almost universal and to be leading causes of irritation and consequent dissatisfaction with the home. The ceed for conscious planning is summed up in the phrase: "Dwellings are not planned for the radio age any more than cities are planned fcr the motor age. The President's conference, which spent a year In an inclusive study of the housing problem, formulated a complete program to raise the standard of American housing. Although "it is in the home that the child, even more than the adult, must find continuity of security, affections, intimacies and loyalties." yond words.

"Application of principles of art to the planning, decoration, and fur Dishing of houses will contribute much to the fine art of living." the com mittee on homemaking reported. The committee on home furnishing and decoration defines these principles for the homemaker. In emphasizing the need for them, this committee said "There are hundreds of thou sands of houses this country of which the exteriors represent an ex ptndlture far above the quality of the furnishings within." It urges that the structure and it interior fur nlshlngs be considered as a unit in the first place, instead of treating furnishings as an afterthought, According to thf agriculture depart ment. farm taxes are beginning to de cline. The department, which is study ing these taxes by states, has issued its first report, covering taxes in twelve north central states.

Farm taxes In these states in 1930 were about two and one half times mhat they were in 1913, according to the department's estimates. The 1930 taxes In these states, however, show an appreciable decline over the peak of taxation, which was reached in 1929. There was a further decline last year. The increase was most rapid from 1916 to 1921. From 1923 to 1924 slight decreases were reported in eight of the twelve states.

Then came another upward movement culmlnat ing in 1929. The states measured in the first study are Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.

President Hoover, in his acceptance address, said: "The most practical re Uef to the. farmer today, aside from the general economic recovery, is a definite program of readjustment and co ordination of the national, state and local taxation which will relieve real property, especially the farms, from unfair burdens of taxation which the current readjustment in values has brought about. To that purpose I propose to devote myself." John P. Brown. Monon, was among President Hoover's callers Tues day.

From time to time Brown makes a survey of agriculture conditions over a wide area for the President and he drops in to Washington to tell the President what he has seen and heard. Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state. today spoke in complimentary terms of the report which Charles C. Hart.

The treasury secretary expressed the opinion that while the limit of cct on public buildings would be cut 10 per cent, and that $10,000,000 would be lopped off the entire amount, the ruling would not interfere with the progress of the public building program.

The south made arrangements last month to award construction contracts totaling $112,000,000. the highest monthly total since the building boom of 1929.

Unemployment relief In Illinois reached a sudden crisis today when an estimate that $36,670,000 would be needed between now and March brought expressions of helplessness from stunned legislators.

The legislature, meeting in its fourth special session of the year, had anticipated raising only about half that amount. Immediate steps were taken to determine whether the federal government would share the burden. I While introducting numerous tax measures, the assembly admitted slliht hope that the huge sum could be obtained. The request, made by the Illinois emergency relief commis i sion. would bring to $64,400,000 the federal and state expenditures for re lief.

1 Legislators turned quickly to the reconstruction finance corporation, i They invited Atlee Pomerene. chair man of the corporation, to address i the assembly Tuesday and explain how Illinois can Increase its $9,000, 000 of the $300,000,000 relief fund. Illinois families receiving relief from state or federal funds totaled 180,000 in July and a steady increase 1 expected.

Since August 26," according to the reports that have Jbeen received by Robinson, many industrial plants already have put Into effect a sharta plan. The American Federation of Labor is co operating with the Teagle committee in promoting this plan to spread available employment as much as possible.

The labor organization believes the share work movement will eventually lead to a shorter work The other standing committees engaged In the campaign report progress. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore Ohio railroad, chairman of the committee on Increased employment on railroads and stimulation of industry through expansion of maintenance of equipment and purchase of new equipment, tells Robinson that railroad executives are with out exception co operating with his committee. Willard set an example for his fellow executives by putting a large number of shop men back to work. The extent of work that can be created under the direction of the Willard committee. It was aa4d at headquarters today, will depend to a considerable extent on the abiUCy of some of the railroads to negotiate lnans from the reconstruction finance corporation.

Task Is Made Easier. It seems that the nation wide or tcanization formed at the August 26 conference at the suggestion of President Hoover appeared at an opportune time. It came on the scene, as was explained today. Just when a Tevlval in business was knocking at the door of the country. The eagerness of business men to get things going once more has made It comparatively easy, it was said, for the nation wide organization to take hold.

The reports thus far received at headquarters lead to the Impression that it is no longer difficult, Renerally speaking, to obtain credit on which to do business. Of the 250 outstanding business men who participated In the August 26 conference, many have written to President Hoover since they returned home thanking him for conceiving the plan under which a nation wide, organization would put its shoulders to the wheel and saying formation of the business organization has done much to assist in restoring confidence. The ultimate effects of the work of the organization, it is predicted, will be of great value. Commodity Prices Up. Robinson and his aids today were making note of the fact that the expected post Labor day business up turn is starting with the Impetus of another week of widespread Increases in wholesale commodity price levels behind it as well as six consecutive week gains in the average of 112 commodities on which data reach the department of commerce.

The average for that list of 112 Important items in the commodity list stood 1.3 per cent, higher at the end of last week than it did August 27 and 9.3 per cent, higher than was recorded for May 28, a date now generally looked on as the low point. The advances obviously mean millions of dollars in the pockets of producers, Just as the stock market gains for August add potential wealth in excess of 17,000.000,000 to the holders of those securities. Advances ranging from 1 to 7 points were recorded for grains, foods, textiles, nonferrous metals and paint materials over the previous week. Fractional rises were made in Quota tions on fuels and building materials, while iron and steel, chemicals and pulp and paper withstood the challenges of the pessimists and held firm. And the business analysis insisted that actually a gain had been registered by those commodities whose prices were able to resist declines.

Of the 112 commodities in the list, the last week witnessed advances In forty two of them. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States announced today that It has started an inquiry into the possibilities of introducing shorter work periods in American industry, "both as a means of further spreading employment to relieve the present emergency and from the long range viewpoint." A committee of nine outstanding Industrialists, with P. W. Litchfield. president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
