Premier at 1895 you get just as good motor as you

There is becoming apparent a point

rs The point Of divergence in prices
and in increasing values, is becoming
more apparent recently, said Mr., Bea-
die. "The occasion for this is evident
enough, " he continued. "All building
materials have advanced in cost. IF
one builds he must pay those increnseC
costs. 1t is now becoming recognized
that the buildin" already erected if i

If the shortage of building material
becomes more acute or if prices Of new
materials mount higher, this divergence
in prices will be all the mare noticeable.

not more than holding its own and
gaining. but that investments made
in building materials in the past will
be found to have been highly profit

NOVEMBER IS SMALL
MONTH IN BUILDING
Cost Of Construction Permitted
Is Less Than a Third of
Same Month Last Year

November will be the smallest month
for the starting of new building con.
struction work, outside of army work
hat Honolulu has known in many
months. While generally the building
rade has held up splendidly and for
he two preceding months new con.
tracts had been larger than was ex-
Deeted there was sudden and great
falling off this month, With only one
more business day for the issuance OF
lermits, this is a certainty unless
some exceptionally large permit shall
be issued on Friday. 81
Up to last evening there had been
ssued this month sixty-eight building
permits and none of these provided for
my large or important business build
ings which tended to keep the totals
down low. The aggregate cost of the
york authorized came to only $7t,93l
the largest being a $l2,75O residence
for Mrs. X. II. Livingston, of which
mention has already been made in
these columns.
In contrast to this small month are
the figures of a year ago when tn,
cost of the construction work provided
for in the permits was 1921 ,235. But
the indications are that this slump
is but temporary in cause and in char
acter and that resumption of activ
ity will be speedily seen, probably il
the month of December.
