UNCONTRACTED WORK.
The Builder and Contractor makes
note of the following work which has
been decided upon, but for which con-
tracts have not been let:
Plans have been drawn for the News
and Working Boys Home building. Bids
are solicited. They can be seen at the
office of the committee at 326 South
Broadway.
Architects Reid Brothers, Stmson
block, are preparing plans for Spreckels
Brothers for warehouse 1OOx3OO feet.
with 20foot ceilings, to be built opposite
the La Grande station on Third street;
will ha Of hric< stone and iron and
have a first floor and loft. The Spreckels
disclaim any intention to erect bus
mess block in this city.
L. j. Mccarthy has prepared plans for
P. ]. Mccormick for two two-story resi-
dences of eight rooms each, to be built
on Grand avenue between Second and
Third streets; will have baths, gas and
electric fixtures, also a stone retaining
wall and steps; Ncost $4,000.
Architect A. j. Kosby has prepared
plans for Theodore Schroeder for two
story residence to be erected on the cor
ner of Fifteenth and Los Angeles streets,
to cost $500, and for the German Aid So
ciety for building to be erected on the
corner of Pico and Santee streets to be
known as st. Joseph's home; cost, $500.
Architects Austin 6, SHILLING have pre-
pared plans for DR.. Campbell, coroner,
for a tWO-story, ten-room dwelling to
be built on Boyle Heights to cost $4500;
and for an eight oom-cottage to be built
on Lake View avenue for Mrs Jennie
Cox, cost $4,000.
Though the failure of the builders to
put up more stores and lodging houses
indicates that the demands of the busi-
ness community are reasonab bly, we'll sup
piled, the number of permits issued for
the construction of dwellings indicates
the steady growth of population at a
rate little If any less rapid that has pre-
vailed during the earlier portion of the
year, and in due time the increased de-
mand for business accommodations will
make itself felt
Little stimulus to building trade has
resulted from the break in the lumber
combine, which has brought about a
drop in lumber prices to the extent of
'about 50 per 1000 feet. The contractors
actually seem inclined to find fault, say
ing that intending builders expect a 10
per cent drop on the price OF given con-
tract by reason of the reduction in the
price of lumber, whereas the cheapen-
ing of the price in the ordinary five
room cottage, using from 1000 to 10, 900
feet of lumber is just about $40. In large
contracts. however, and in cases where
intending builders intend to invest a
given sum in house, the character of
the building is improved little by rea-
son OF cheaper lumber.
