MATERIAL PRICES

Pre-War Level of 1913. Says
"American Architect"

Although there has been a strongly
maintained impression in certain quar-
ters that building materials have greatly
advanced in price In the past few years,
and that this has been reflected in a
pronounced increase in the cost OF con-
struction, close students of the situa-
ton know-and have statistics to back
their belief-that this increase is due
entirely to the higher rate on loan
money and a rising wage scale and not
TO material costs" says the weekly re-
view OF the american Architect. with
hut two exceptions-in the case Of lum-
Der and brick-thcre Ia now no great
advance in prices over the pre-war level
OF 1913.
True, there have been wide fluctua-
tons in the interim. but now that prices
are again holding firm in all markets,
with but few exceptions. 1t can be clearly
shown that building material produc-
ton rose and fell with the swing of the
business pendulum. It having dropped to
low points in MA and 1915 and risen to
high levels in 1916. Building prices
responded in the main to the same
causes OF rising wages and other mate
rial costs. With the exception of steel

The Metropolitan Life Inaurance Com
pany broke away from its established
custom last week by deciding to make
loans for the construction OF walk up

heretofore been confined to elevator
apartments and residential structures of
great size. The departure came when
the company advanced $500. 900 to the
Greensboro Corporation, builders, Ed

In making the loan Walter Stabler.
the comptroller of the Metropolitan, OK
planned definitely that he had decided on
the change because OF the excellent work
which the Greensboro company has
done, This is the way he expressed II !:
We accepted the Greensboro applI-
cation OF $500, 900" said Mr.. Stabler
yesterday, because OF the excellent
work done by that corporation in the
Improvement and upbuilding OF the Jack
son Heights apartment house section in
Queens, also because the property is

Grand Central Station via the Queens

value OF the land and buildings, when
completed, and probably can be replaced

while an English half timbered house
in this country may lack somewhat the
appearance of being indigenous to the
soil peculiar to the British model, II
makes up for It by having better light

A type of residence which Is gaining
much popularity in this country Is the
bungalow, because bungalows may be
designed TO be within the reach of
nearly every income and because they
may be as simple or elaborate as their

structure. They are neither consciously
artistic or consciously rustic.
Bungalows came into being in British
India, where they were particularly
adapted to local climatic conditions. In
the United States they fiourlshed first
in southern California, where they were
a delightful change from the hideous
and ungalnly frame houses which first
marked the development of some of the
cities on the coast, and which often had
a dummy front designed to make the
buildings appear FROM the street two or
three stories taller than they really
were. They soon spread rapidly all over
the country. although most Eastern
bungalows are greatly modified from
the original form, and II is doubtful II

Common brick and lumber were the
two commodities that have more rapidly
advanced than other materials and have
held their advance The increased cost
of lumber and brick Ia due largely to
the fact that the CHIEF cost of produce

sufficient, especially in the case of brick,
to cover the rising cost the manufac-
turers close their plants and thereby
curtail production and prevent over
stocking the market. To-day brick in

In the architecture of dwellings no coun-
try In the world offers such a variety
OF types as the United States. American
architects have taken their models from
and derived inspiration from every quar-
ter Of the globe. They have studied the
architecture of every period and their
efforts reflect the ideas OF craftsmen who
have been dust for centuries as we'll as
the conceptions OF European designers
who are still living.
In the Old World certain styles of
structures are characteristic OF certain
countries, and there is usually very
little departure from type. This Is not
the case in America. Here in the same
suburb one Is apt to see Anglo-Indian
bungalows. Swiss chalets. English manor

II was in houses such as these that

where American hospitality was dis
