BUILDING STILL LAGS.
Outlook, However, Is Regarded as
ENCOURAGING

1t is an agreeable surprise to know that
the decrease in building for April in COM
parison with the same month year
ago in the leading cities is only. - per
cent, according TO official reports to Con-
struetion News. In Al cities permits were
taken out for the construction of 1882
buildings. involving total cost of $40

ing in cost SCI % OsO. for the correspond
ing month a year ago. u decrease of 1,:iJi
buildings and SIS, 43O. 4O7.
1t is difficult to predict with any degree
of accuracy what the future has in the
way of building construction. but there
are certain encouraging indications which
cannot be disregarded. and one of the
most interesting is that considering that
the falling off in April was - per cent
leads to the belief that affairs are in much
better shape than most people are aware.
Ii Is the belief among some of the most
successful builders that reimbursement of
wage scales and the price of materials to
lower level Will be necessary before
building will go ahead upon a continuously
active scale. Many people. without know
ing anything definite about it, will say
that this has already taken place but
the men best qualified to speak doubt that
the decrease is more than 10 per cent if
II is that much. This may not be nee
essary, as conditions may improve without
it, but after all, will be surprised at
how quickly the turn for the better may
come.

area allowed TO houses in a city. One OF
the factors in the market Of late has been.
and to some extent is still. the lowering

localities.
To Meet Public Demand.
II may not be impossible that the fu-

at by the man who builds houses for sale.

want. Some observers of the market see
in the falling off in the market value of
building sites an indication that in the
future more than in the past the indie
pendent house. so to speak. rather than
the house in row. will be the one that
will be more generally built here than
any other kind.
Some Recent Changes.
This may prove to be the case. as
changes are going on all the time in this
city, due mainly to the rapid growth OF
the population and the necessity of Mt
ting the practice to the new conditions.
1t was thought at one time that the
apartment house would never get a hold
IN this city, and every one knows what
is now the relation of that sort of build
ing TO the supply of housing accommo-
dations. Ii has also been thought that
houses, whether intended for the rich or
the poor. would not be built TO any ex-
tent unless within easy reach of car
line. What has been done and is planned
for the locality of Sheridan Circle is a
sufficient indication that such a tendency
has been changed, at least in that one
