When closing the conference. Bishop
Berry called nttention to the fact that
ithero had been no disputes among at
tending members and he was particu
larly pleased by that fact.
Laymen gained several points during
the moeting and succeeded in wielding
much influence.
In commenting upon the difficulties,
with which he was faced In making the
clerical appointments, Bishop Berry
took occasion to make a plea for higher
salaries for tho members of tho clergy,
and also said that should the gen
eral conference, which will meet in Des
Moines, In., in May, decide to transfer
him to another district, he would obpy
tho orders withont question, but would
leave this locality with the deepest
regTet.
Hard to Decldo
"Oh. brothers, those high prices that
nre charged for the bare necessities of
life." he said, "and the little salaries
with which you are provided to face thn
world make It exceedingly difficult for
me to decide upon making these, appoint
ments nnd trnnBfers today. Tho
knowledgo is ever beforo mo that even
when I do my best to pleaso- all my
people I am, nevertheless, sending out
many men to almost' certain starvation
on thn $1000, $1200 nnd $ir00 salnries

Housing Problem
Tackled by Mayor
Cn United from Tbib One
Wo arc looking about nnd buying land
in Ardmore nnd in the immediate vi
cinity. Wc found, when we started
out, that some property owners kited
tho price on us. Wo hnve left them
severely nlone, and arc only paying
what wo think to be-falr prices for our
ground. Incidentally, tho exorbituut
prices asked nro beginning to come down
now that our attitude on tho price
question Is known.
"Then wo nre going to go to build
ers nnd have them build for us. If,
owing to the high cost of materials the
builders cannot finance tbo thing them
selves, wo will finance them.
Homes of Artistic Design
"So far so good. It is important iu
tli is connection that the 'Jew houses do
not mnr In anv wav tho sites thev oc
mine tr fbo rnnntrvslde. Thev will be
i of rnnat nrllstio deslim. of five, six nnd
Leven rooms and bath. They will be so
designed thnt the? will not depreciate
I property in their vicinity. Thev must
be nn artistic nssct.
'Furthermore, we nre going to be
careful not to erect a-.iy houses thnt will
not bo in keeping with the rural char
acter of fhe Main I.lnc. That must be
preserved at all costs. And I may sav
here that if we cannot obtain euough
land near Ardmore wo will go some dis
tanee away and carry our employes to
the plant in buses.
"We will not attempt to develop the
ln.id in huge blocks, nn the government
so successfully did. We will, instead,
buy small plots here, there nnd every
where nnd improve each with a few
dwellings of the type I have described.
We may even erect nn apartment house
or two in n suitable neighborhood, of
course.
"We have not yet figured what the
rents will be. Thprc will be nothing
'given away.' That would not be fair,
to builders and others. And there must
be n fair but moderate return upou the
capital invested.
Streets May Be Built
'All the houses will be modern, at-
tractive and 'homey.' If necessary, we
will build streets, lay sewers and other
i pipes nnd sidewalks. There is more land
than Is needed in thin section, not
enough houses. We will try to balance
things up a bit. No houses will be torn
down to make room for these new
homes. We need all the houses we
have."
Alfred M Collins, head of the Civic
Association at Ardmore, said: "Every
where along the Main Line the move
ment is under way to provide houses
suitable for persons ot moderate means,
nnd for workingmen. All sorts of houses
nro very scarce, land is high in price,
nnd the tendency in to put up the cheap,
est sort of development that will pay
the largest return.
"This wc will combat. Rows of
houses aro entirely out ot place, and un
necessary. We want houses that will
be n pnrt of the general rural atmosphere."
