MANY new HOMES
Improvements Made in Topeka
This Year.
The Building Boom Retarded by
High Prices.
SOME HAVE WAITED.
Will Build Houses When Ma
terial is Cheaper.
List of Houses and Other Build
ings Erected.

The builders are not enjoying more
work than they can do. 1t is not be-
cause money is scarce but on account
of the high price OF building materials
Several proposed residences have not
been built on account Of the price OF
material and some say on account OF
the fear of strikes. But all construction
has not stopped and several fine resi-
dences are being built and plans made
for more.
Architect l. NJ. Wood said: 1.-The high
price of material and the fear of strikes
has to my knowledge stopped several
proposed residences over the state
many school houses and court houses
are being built
Charles Elliott of the Capital Build
ing and Loan association said: Money
is plentiful but people are afraid of the
price of material and are not building
I understand that the price of material
is coming down
