TAGS FOR BUSINESS'
VEHICLES ON SALE
Officials Ask Co-Operation of
Motorists in New Plan
!£ to Avoid Rush.
License tags for commercial ve- 1
hlcles. hackers anil dealers went on ;
sale at the District Building today, j
but tags for the pleasure vehicles will j
not be on aale until December 1, lie- |
cording to announcement by Commis
sioner Rudolph.
Owners of pleasure vehicles, how- j
ever, are warned not to put off the i
purchase «.f tags because of the hope- i
less congestion which arises at the J
close of the month when thousands j
of belated motorists rush to the traf- j
fie office expecting to obtain tags be
fore the last day of grace.
In an endeavor to eliminate nr
avoid the last minute rush, which
1 causes ill-temper, lost time and trim
hie. a plan has been worked out
which depends on the heartiest co
oneration of all motorists for success.
The plea of (’iminiissionpr Itudolph is
that all motorists, whose Ifll’a tags
number from 1 to 25.000 call for their
hew license plates between December
1 and 1. During t lit- next live days
thereafter, all those with numbers
from -.1.u00 to .10.000 should respond,
and so on through the month until
all motorists hate obtained new tags, j
‘•ol. I. <\ Muller, assistant trattle I
director, announces that his office is
how ready with the necessary data
To tix the rated load capacity' of all
trucks as required by the new traffic
code. As each applicant for tags for j
a truck calls at the license office he
will he sent to tile traffic director's
office to have the rated capacity of
Ills vehicle marked on the registra
r tion card.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. NOVEMBER 23, 1925.
1925 BUILDING OVER
1921 RECORD NOW
Scarcity of Housing for
Those of Average Means
Still Reported.
By the Ansoiiatcil Press.
CHICAGO. November 23. —Building
construction for tile first 10 months
of 1025 has exceeded the total for
1924 anil broken records in most sec
lions of tile country, but there is still
a scarcity of suitable housing for per
sons of average means.
The statement was made tonight in
tlie semiannual report of the Ameri
can Construction Council issued
through its president, Franklin D.
; Roosevelt.
"The larger volume of residential
| construction has not yet met the coun
try's real housing need." the report
said. "City residential construction has
i been largely of higher priced apart

ulutive quiure, and while suburban j
I'iomc developments of the colony type ;
have been very active, they have too 1
frequently been high in price or in |
ferior in quality.
“Aside from residential work, public
improvements and utilities and-com
mercial buildings and institutional!
structures have been going up in in- 1
creasing numbers.
"Present indications,” the report
said, "point toward an increasing tie j
maud for industrial buildings and re j
placement or alteration of out-of-date
buildings of commercial and other
types. Work contracted for and con
templated for the Winter schedule is
milch greater than usual at this time
of the year, showing the growing
belief of the public in Winter work
when it is properly conducted.
"Labor productivity lias increased
and thus helped to reduce actual
costs, anil the stabilizing Influence of
this condition, if maintained, will be
very helpful for the future. Material
prices have also continued relatively
stable as a whole. Money for build
ing purposes has been readily avail
able in most localities.”
