The only thing that Is holding
back building generally through
out the country Is the fact That
rents ~ not gone up for prop
erty already occupied. Tho next
year, however, you will sec n
great increase of rents through
out the country. As soon as this
Increase In rents takes place,
builders may stampede eac
other to construct more houscs.
Wise are those who build now
before this stampede takes place.
This is all in addition to the fact
that the dollar of today is worth only
80 cents. and we are all apt to fool
ourselves when we talk in terms OF
prices and wages.
Advance OF Material
Lumber in the last quarter of 1918
was 10 per cent. higher than in the
pre-war period, July /, 1913 to June
30, 1914, The building material
group. Including lumber but exclud-
spg metal products. was 81 per cent.
above the pre-war figures. Commod-
tiles other than building materials
were 113 per cent. higher.
Investigation of the cost of build
ing materials by the industrial con-
aerence board have not revealed ex-
Cessive profits, and hence reductions
where they occur are small.
II is reasonable to assume that ma
terlal men and contractors who as a
class have suffered rather than pro-
fitted by war conditions will make
their figures as low as possible in or
DER to encourage a resumption of
building.
The scale of wages in force during
the building season is a result of an
agreement entered into by building
tradesmen and builders. Such agree

How to Start Building

In normal times building is so gra-
dual-as It Is carried on from month
to month in favorable seasons. that
the natural increase of population
and the inevitable replacing of old
structures with new ones are scarce
iy noticed. A store goes IN here and
a house there and in the course %
a year even the most remote village
shows q certain growth.
During the period In which the
United States vas engaged In the war
all construction work was suspended.
Although in certain centers OF popu-
lation. It was soon evident that crowd
Ing would take place and would In
crease, the country was astonished
when statisticians began to make
estimates. Through its information
and Education Service. the United
States Department OF Labor made a
survey that resulted In the assurance
hat at least 500, 900 dwellings were
needed Immediately. IL the natural
growth of populations and the de-
mands OF returning soldiers were to
be met.

The builders, contractors. archi-
tects and other persons Interested IN
the building trades in this city are
exceedingly busy at this time. ThoSe
who are not already doing construc-
ton work OF some kind. are prepar-
ing to start a job in the near future.
Building. in fact. Is beginning 10
get back into its stride. which was
lost to a great extent during the war
and many of the real estate con-
Germs. who make a specially OF selling
lots, report many sales, which would
lead one to think that in order to
get out from under the clutches OF
the rent profteers the citizens OF this
city as well as other cities in the
country have decided to buy lots and
erect their own homes.
Busy On New Plans
The architects are drawing plans
for future buildings, but to date they
are not far enough progressed to an
nounce to the public. There seems
to be a desire among hose who con-
template building, to keep every
thing secret until the contract has
ben let or the building permit grant
ed. Why this desire to keep 1t a Sc
cret persists is not known, but the
fact that the plans are made and con-
tracts being figured on shows plainly
that the long expected building boom
has arrived and even IL the city Is
as yet on the outskirts of this boom
there is good reason to think n fee
that IL will break through I'm all 1t;

time.

NOW'S THE TIME
To BUILD HOME
Surveys Show That Prices Have
Not a niiIi in Proportion to
General Trend

This is the time to build homes, ac-
cOrding to the c~oncensus of opinions
that are coming In to the United
States Department of Labor. which
- receiving many expressions of APP
proval OF it's "own your own homo
campaign and assurances of coop
Grafton in Its nationwide work of sti-
mulating construction.
II is pointed out that an abundance
OF employment at high wages has
made the desire for comfortable and
pleasant living conditions more wide
spread than eve before. Since econ
omy and thrift have been preached
and practiced In America. during the
period of the war. there Is a new de-
sire to use money wisely.
Economists estimate that more
money is available for building in the
United States this year than there
has been in recent years. This fact,
added to the general disposition to
seek a settled abiding place, after the
adventures and separations attendant
on war. is giving home building a de-
cided impetus in all parts OF the Uni
ted States. Surveys made of the
whole country show that the advance
In cost of materials has not kept pace
with increases of other commodities
and real estate has not risen In price.
Moreover, there is a disposition
among those who finance building
projects to make easy terms for those
who desire to put their money In what
II acknowledged to be the most salts
factory of all investments.
The rise In entails and the short
& of more tina half a million
houses. owing to the suspension OF
construction during the period of the
war, furnish a sufficient reason foI
the consideration of building a home.
In 40 cities now listed in the Division
OF Public Works m Construction

tensive campaigns are in progress
and all these have as their object the

earliest possible dates his spring.
