The volume of bullding construction changed but little between September and October, but declined in the early part of November. ‘The general level of prices, the board continued, showed little change in the first three weeks of October, but de- clined considerably in the last week of the month. During ‘the first three | weeks of November prices of most of the commodities recovered from their | lowest level.

For the electrie railways, a statement was issued as follows by J. N. Shanna- han of Omaha, acting for Paul S8houp, who was absent: “A ecanvass of the electric railwa; companies of the United States, com: prising street car, rapid transit, inter~ urban and bus lines handling ap- proximately 16.000,000.000 passengers annually, indicates that 97 per cent of the executives responding to our inquiry do not anticipate that the present stock market situation will affect their capital and maintenance expenditures during the coming year. “This survey, made at the suggestion of Paul Shoup, president of the Amer- ican Electric Rallway Association, who is unfortunately unable to attend this conference due to his presence on the Pacific Coast, indicates that this in- dustry, which during 1929 is spending approximately $1,000,000 a day for maintenance, betterments and exten- sions, expects to maintain or exceed this rate of expenditure during 1930. “At & meeting held at the associa- tion's headquarters in New York on November 26, 1929, representative exec- utives of companies operating in various parts of the country expressed their confidence in the business outlook their desire to co-operate with Presi- dent Hoover in every possible way in his effort to stabalize and insure the continued progress and development of business. Analysis of the transporta- tion situation in a number of large cities indicates that as progress is made in bringing about better public under- standing of the economic problems in- volved, improvement in credit will per- mit considerable increases in capital expenditures to be made for expansion of facilities.” Meeting Surprise to Hoover. The conference at the White House today with the public utilities execu- tives was in the nature of a surprise. The President, knowing of the meeting which was to be held yesterday in New York, asked the public utilities for a re- and maintenance. The public utility executives, following their meeting, ask- ed that they be permitted to come to the White House to make their report. The program outlined by the executives to the President for the year 1930 goes considerably beyond the pro- gram of these utilities during the cur- rent year. The President expressed his gratification at the plans announced to him and at the spirit of co-op°ration manifested by the leaders of public utilities of the country in the effort which is being made to dispel pessimism and to stabilize American business. ‘Those attend! the conference with the President ay included many of the outstanding figures in the public utilities of the country.

BAN FRANCISCO, November 21.—‘ Contemplated expenditures of $333.-| 000,000 in new construction in the next} five years, $65,000,000 of it in 1930, was announced here yesterday by t,he‘ Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. H. D. Pillsbury, president of the com- pany, referred to the plans as the com- pany’s respcnse to President Hoover's Pprosperity budget plan. nditures on the five-year budget in Northern California and Nevada will total $149,000,000; _in Washington, Oregon and Western Idaho, $85,000,00 and in Southern California, $99,000,0 Sum Set Aside for 1930. New construction in 1930 will cost nearly $7.500 an hour, compared with nearly $7,000 an hour this year. The contemplated expenditures for 1930 ai the four years succeeding will break all records for new telephone construction, the announcement said. “The company's new long-distance network on Pacific Coast will cost $100,000,000 in the next five years and will . inerease the capacity 2,000 per cent,” said the company’s statement. “‘Over $20,000,000 will be put into land and new buildings.” ‘The announcement said the $65,000,- 000 expenditure for 1930 would be al- located: Northern California and ‘Ne- | vada, over $27,000,000; Washington, Orelnn and Western Idaho, about $16,- 00,000: Southern California, about | '22 000,000 Long-Distance Network. “The new long-distance network,” the announcement continued, “includes the Canada and Mexico cable, costing $30,000,000. The cable will be 1,500 miles in length, longer than any now in | “The balance of the $100,000,000 long- distance budget will pay for thousands of miles of new network all over the coast. It will also pay for five new transcontinental routes.” ence the advancement of Mr. Hoover's plans lay largely with the leading tradc organizations, such as the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the task cf co-ordinating the work of Govern- ment agencies was given over to Secre- tary Lamont of the Commerce Depart ment, he, in turn, to seek the co-opera- tion of the State governments. ‘The President will deliver an address on December 5 at a meeting of more than 150 representative business men, called together by the chamber for the of organizing - a continuing committee on business conditions. The proposed establishment of this agency was one result of the President’s con- ference last week with numerous lead- ers lodr the industrial and manufacturing world. Industrial Activity Higher. A summary of business conditions published today by the Federal Reserve Board revealed a higher industrial ac- | tivity during the month of October last | than in the same period of 1928, al though there was a decline in both in- dustrial production and factory employ- ment, as compared with the preceding ' month.

Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, has become firmly established in the list of favorite artists for Washington concert audiences. Gradually, through the sev- eral seasons in which he has been ap- | pearing here in formal programs, his audiences have incre: Yesterday afternoon & capacity audience applaud- ed him enthusiastically at P ‘The- ater. Although this singer first won the approval of the music world by the ar- tistry and good taste shown in stlec- tion” of songs for his programs, it is| still true that, to his audiences gener- | ally, 1t is the fine devotional manner of his singing of the Negro lplrl!ufll Lh!( wins the warmest applause. He several l‘lrely heard spirituals in hh. final group of songs yesterday, and pre- | ceded them by singing “Ezekial Saw de | Wheel,” which he sang particularly ef- fectively when here last Spring. Mollt‘ impressive of all was his last encore, “Sit Down,” which, according to hl.ly explanation given before the song, was | supposed to be. the song of a weary old Negro woman wistfully dreaming of ¢ what Heaven would be like when she could just “sit down and rest.” “Keep Me from Sinking Down" was another very effective number. The tenor opened his program with a rare Haendel alr, ente in Tuon Leggiadro,” given with fine legato style and proving unusual in that it did not possess the florid decorations generally associated with arias by this composer. “Pack Clouds Away,” also by Haendel, was more in the customary style of that cc aposer. There also were lovely olG & iglish songs by Arne and Howard. tal 'n from a cycle ar- ranged by H. Coleman. The French group which followed was sung with Hayes’ usual excellent diction and | showed colorful balance. Dupare's “L'Invitation au Voyage” is & beautiful song and it was sung so that it won spontaneous appreciation from the au- | dience. “Turmolement,” a Persian | melody by Saint-Saens. was another harming song. “Le The” by Kirk- and, was the encore. Sir George Henschel, distinguished naturalized British composer of Polish descent, provided a group of refresh- ingly different songs for this program. they replaced the usual Gennln group. “Siehst du das Meer” and “My Weary | Heart Can Find no Rest,” sung in Ger- man, were especially lovely, although “"The Angels Dear.” a light cradle song, was also unusually attractive and given sympathetic rendition. As is customary, Roland Hayes was assisted at the plano by Percival Plr-‘ ham, who was thoroughly up to usual standard as an exceptionally flne accompanist. NUPTIAL DATE CHANGED.
