The American do-it-yourself trend is now srveeping England, and a tax angle is boosting the amateur building boom. U-May-Kit, Ltd., is the gimmick that's got 'em going over there. Normally, furniture carries a 25/o purchase tax in England, but there's no tax on prefab furniture. U-May-Kit, Ltd., says this savings allows them to put out for $84 a knock-down bedroom set which costs $194 assembled. The Wembledon weekend woodworker needs only a couple evening's work to put the polish on the veneers, to screw and glue the wood together.

"And then, see to it that newer and younger trees like myself be made to grow upon that hillside where I stood, and that there be future generations-eternal generationsof trees to grow, and serve as I shall henceforth be serving. Make ten trees grow where but one grew before.

"And so the Great Architect may look upon your work and say-'Well done, thou good and faithful servant'."

Newpofi Beqch History Trqced In Old McFodden lumberyord

When the McFadden brothers, James and Robert, started their lumber business in 1873 with a shipment of fence posts, it can be said that Newport Beach rvas born, reports Art Hewitt in a recent issue of the Los Angeles Herald and Express..

There was not much more than a dock and a small warehouse at this Orange county harbor then. Nor,v it is one of Southern California's most noted resorts and yacht harbors.

By 1887 the McFaddens had built a pier, and their lumber business had branched out into general shipping. To promote Newport Harbor, the brothers built a railroad to Santa Ana. It was completed in 1892. The enterprising brothers already had purchased 1000 acres of swampland from the state at $1 an acre.

The land included the entire Newport district, the peninsula from Ninth St. to 40th St. and what is now known as Lido and Balboa islands. The townsite was laid out in 1892.

Even in those days back country ranchers and townspeople swarmed to the beach in horsedrawn wagons. The better seashore campsites rented for as much as $8 a month.

With the coming of the railroad, tourist business boomed. In i893 the McFaddens built the Nervport hotel. The brothers made no charge for passage on the railroad from Santa Ana to the beach, for all rvho came to Newport were certain to be customers in one way or another.

In 1899 the McFaddens sold their railroad. The brothers didn't know that the buyer was an agent for the Southern Pacific, an organization they considered an "enemy." They had hoped their line would remain independent or be joined to the Santa Fe.

The McFaddens felt they had been tricked. They decided to pull out of Newport, and in 1903 they sold their property to a Riverside realtor, William S. Collins. The price was $50.000. It included 10,000 lots.
