Questionnaires to Seventy-Four
Cities Bring Facts on Labor,
Wages and Prices.

OF Seventy-four cities to which were
sent questionnaires by the United States
Department of Labor on building needs
and obstacles in getting building under
way, fifty-seven show pressing de-
mand for building and most of these
emphasize the shortage of dwellings and
apartment houses.
The questionnaires were calculated to
verify the results of other Investigations
into the building shortage Of the coup-
try and TO develop what, if any, obsta-
cles were being encountered by building
interests. Specific information was ASK
ed OH the influence of wages. material
prices. interest rates and available in
vestment capital. Several cities report
ed that it was none of these which was
delaying building. but rather the uncer
tainty of the future labor and material
market. majority of the cities assert
tiat high wages are a factor in holding
back building: there is almost unani-
nous concurrence in the opinion that
high prices OF materials are determined
obs cles. There is not much complaint
a about interest rates. but fourteen cities
report builders are having difficulty in
obtaining capital to finance projects.
Wherever building industry organiza-
tions have gone iHto the subject the
conclusion has prevailed that no. de-
crease in labor wages may be expected
for some time to come-nOt until the
general price level on living necessities
drops. The Investigations of the econo-
kported by Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale
University assert no marked reduction
may be expected in building material
prices.

SCHOOL LUMBER COST
FIVE CENTS PER CAPITA
Estimated That More Than $780,
100000 Must Be Spent in
Next Twenty Years.

Lumber for public school houses
throughout the United States is gong
to cost about 81 per capita population
distributed over the next twenty
years. according to partial taoula-
ton of school building conditions IN
the country. which has just been nrad
by statistical experts in the United
States Department of Labor.
In other words. the people are gong
to pay for these school buildings Al
the rate of about 5 cents per capita
per year for the next twenty years. II
they want their school program put
through.
1t is estimated that school projects.
which will require an enormous qua =
titH of lumber, now being held IN
allegiance. aggregate more than $780,
00o,00o. 1t is known that contracts
for SEQ public school houses. fotaling
some sSo.00G. 600. have been held up
as result of the war
The officials of the Department of
Labor believe that the nation-wide
lack of public school accommodations
is one of the earliest problems that
must be solved with others that be
long to the reconstruction period.

BELIEVE BUILDING
WILL BOOM SOON
Experienced Contractors Do
Not Count on Cheaper
Labor and Materials.

Building interests in many parts of
the country are showing confidence
in the early resumption of building
and construction work on scale ap-
preaching normal. according to the
United States Department of Labor.
Many contractors of authoritative eN-
perience express the conviction that
prices of materials and labor Will not
be lowered for several years, and
of availing of d return to pre-war
prices may be sadly disappointed.
American building industries will
be called upon to furnish tremendous
quantities of materials for European
construction. If no other elements
were present to keep up material
prices. Europe's demand would spre-
vent any immediate drop in them. ac-
cording to the opinion of many ma
terial manufacturers and contractors.
Reduced production during the war
in the building materials industries
and the marked observation-disclosures
suSpension-of private building un-
dertakings have fomented market
conditions which do not make for
lower prices.
ouOfLdSe 4S OAlVe1Sol'
Charles A. Bowen. secretary of the
National Lumber Dealers Associa
tion, on information obtained from
some 500 members. asserts the short
age in buildings is universal and the
retail branch of the lumber industry
does not anticipate material changes
in the market prices for some time.
There is d shortage of houses
throughout the country. Information
obtained by the Department of Labor
indicates the nation is more than
half million houses behind the de-
mand for dwellings,. The department
believes nothing more helpful to the
general situation could be done than
at once to resume building.
Those contractors and builders who
are going ahead with business plans
point to the fact that almost every
authority predicts an era of unpre-
cedented prosperity for the country
as soon as it has passed through the
few months necessary for readjust-
ment. They say the richest country
in the world, the country in which the
gold reserve equals the total reserves
of three or four other nations, has
nothing to fear of the future if the
nation has little faith in itself.
