BRICK WILL BE SCARCE
AND HIGH THIS SEASON

The scarcity of building brick
promises to be as great an obstacle in
the way of constructive enterprises
this season in this locality as il was
last. There was considerable build
ing done during the winter and all
the surplus material in the hands of
the local brick manufacturers was
used. There is now nothing with
which to begin the season. and il will
be necessary to wait Till the first
kilns are put upon the market before
anything is done. Prices, of course,
will rule high and this fact may de
ter some from letting contracts tor
brick buildings who would otherwise
proceed this season.
Production of brick i'm this locality
has not been able To keep pace with
the demand during the past two sea-
sons. and some brick. both of the
common and pressed varieties. has
been brought in from outside factor
jes. There is abundant clay and fuel
hereabout and there appears To be
room for considerable extension of
the brick-making industry.
