PUBLIC BUILDING
PROGRAM URGED
National Federation of Con-
struction Industries Sees
Need for Activities.

Concentration in the immediate
future of municipal. State and
Federal programs OF public works
is being urged by the National
Federation of Construction Indus
tries.
Recent reports, it is stated, from
all sections OF the United States
indicate that, after a protracted
period of hesitancy on the part of
consumers of construction mate
rials. business is now steadily in
creasing. Building permits through
out the country were "a per cent
below normal in November. 1918, 80
| per cent in December. so per cent
! in January. 1919: 60 per cent in
February. and 35 per cent in
March.
No Decline I'm Prices.
This partial resumption of the
construction business has not been
accompanied by a decline in the
prices of construction materials.
Between October, 1918. and March,
1919, there was a very slight de-
crease in the prices of some COM
modities. Since March prices in
many lines have advanced. The
composites given by Dun's Review
was about POI for October 1, 1918;
about 197 for March. 1919; about
200 for April l, and about 2O3 for
May l. The advances in prices in
some instances exceeded this av-
eraSe, owing to the fact that the
composite advance in the prices of
construction material was only 81
per cent in November. 1918, as COM
pared with an average advance in
the prices of all commodities of
1l6 per cent at that time.
The failure of construction material
prices to advance beyond 81 per cent
while the average of all prices ad-
/ Vanced to ll6 per cent was due to
building inactivity during the war.
Business men now generally concede
that the nation is on a permanently
| higher price level. And construction
! material prices are at this time slowly
rising to that level.
Construction Costs May Go Up.
This fact makes it practically GER
tain that the cost of construction will
steadily advance during the next sew
eral months. when it is expected that
! prices Will have risen to the new
I level. after which they will fiuctuate
within narrow limits as under past
/ normal business conditions.
Investigation reveals the regretta Bile
TACT that the increase of building con-
structlon during the past few months
/ mas been due to private initiative and
not TO the construction of public

United States government and of the

Bolstering up prices by useless public

over the average volume of similar
periods Of the I'VE previous years.
This increase has been achievsd
despite the discouraging outlook
which faced builders at the begin
ming Of this year and in the face Of
considerably higher wages and
building material costs.
In expressing values for pre-
v1ous years in terms of 1913 values.
hgures on the increase of con-
struction costs as compiled by the
United States Department OF Labor
have been used. These figures show
that on the average construct on
costs in the first part of 1919 were
81 per cent higher than in 1914.
In 1918 they were So per cent
higher than in 1915: in 1917 they
were 80 per cent higher than in
1910: in 1916 they were Il per cent
higher than in 1914. In 1915 con-
struction costs were practically the
same as in 1914.
The figures for contracts AWARDED
for each of the past six months tell
the story Of the growth of pub
lie confidence and the increase
Of building activities. Contracts
awarded in January amounted to
$50. .731. 600 which was just 81 per
cent of the average for the same
month of the preceding FIVE years
The February figure was IS per
cent OF the average for the same
amount of contracts awarded m
March. 81 per cent: April l3s per
cent: May lss per cent The total
mount of contracts awarded IN
June was $2S9.17S.OO0 This was ia
per cent Of the average figure for
June of the preceding fve year.
In these comparisons all figures Tor
the years previous to 1919 have
been reduced to 1919 values.

By AYMAR EMBURY III.

Probably no type of domestic ar
chitecture appeals as much to the
people of the United States as the
bungalow. which has come to us
from the old Spanish or Mexican
one-story houses.
The reasons for this popularity
may be attributed to the belief that
a bungalow is cheaper to build than
a house of the two-story type.
This may be true in some sections
of the country. but where land is
expensive the greater area covered
offsets any saving made in the
building itself
The wide popularity of the bunga-
low has caused many to be built
which have gotten away from the
splendid precedent set by the orig
inals. Many have come to believe
that the prevalent California type
is the only one which solves the
one-story house problem. The il
lustration shows a bungalow which
is true in plan but whose exterior
is designed in the same spirit as the
best modern work.
Red brick and grey stucco with
the green of the blinds gives a
greater range of color than is
usually found. AS the roof Of a
bungalow has such prominent
place in the composition it should
be carefully designed and stained.
Very dark green or brown are
colors which may be used with
safety.
Regarding the plan Of a bunga-
rooms should be centrally located
so that long halls to the bedrooms
may be avoided.
The plan of this house is rather
cleverly devised in view of the fact
that 1t may be placed on a fifty
foot front lot. while the area which
it occupies is practically square.
The living room is sufficiently
large for part of il to be used for
dining. The bedrooms and bath

MORE HOMES Is THE PLEA
FROM ALL OVER COUNTRY

From all parts of the country re-
ports stir come of the serious need
for additional dwellings. The
United States Housing Corporation
has received direct word from hun
drcds % cities concerning the fact
of the housing shortage. While the
cities are mostly of the industrial
class. they are scattered through
out all parts of the country and
represent thIrty-eight States
The most pronounced shortages
occur in the larger cities. such as
New York. Philadelphia. Cleveland
MjIws ukee and Seattle. But even
in cities of d more moderate size
the situation is acute.
One of the most surprising fea-
lures of the present housing short
age is the extent to which this OBJ
tains ir even the towns and smaller
cities. having perhaps a single in
dustry or several small industries
The division of homes registra-
tion and information also receives
daily requests from localities of A.
600 to 5000 for information con-
corning ways and means for solving
the shortage, and for the means OF
establishing local housing or f.
nancing corporations. and for cop
les Of the forms used by the divi-
sion in the making of housing sur
veys and the establishment of reg
istries.
Blue prints exhibiting plans and
specifications of typical houses con-
structcd by the United States
Housing Corporation are being sent
to all of the officers of the United
States home registration service
and to the own-your-own-home
committees. The purpose is to
stimulate home building and to
give assistance in the way of Sc
IectinG plans that will result in
homes that are attractive as well
as econC mical.
Building Resumed.
A widespread resumption cf
building has occurred throughout
the entire country. especially in the
section east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio Rivers. The r

Jacks Manager Says His Pug

Dempsey, not only that Dempsey
would lie ticSled stiff to sign articles
calling for his appearance against the
giant who. beat Jack Johnson, but lie
also would be satisfied with a mere
pittanee for his efforts.
'This talk" said kearns. "of Demp-
seN holding MP Tex Rickard or any
one else for a huge sum Of money to
fight the champion is pure bunk. How
Ecould we make such demands when it
is certainty that IL we don't get this
chance we would have Il hard time
getting another? Jack Dempsey viii
fight Willard. The, only thing that is
worrying is that Richard isn't hurry
ing along fast enough with the con-

This declaration Of Dempsey's stand
followed publication here of an an

that arrangements should be made
with that match in view
