Boosting Building

ORGANIZATIONS In all parts Of Texas back Of the

properly housed and that business may be placed posi-
full advantage Of the opportunity for expansion
which is now way. Much has been heard Of this
stimulus locally Now the Texas chamber Of commerce IN
its convention at Waco has out strong with
mendation for the immediate resumption of building
Manufactures io5beTs and retailers Of the four basic
building materials made and sold in Texas-lumber hollow
tile brick and cement-oonposed that part of the con-
ference which devoted itself to the problem Of building
materials They went fully into such matters as produc-
ton cost efficiency and supply of labor stocks at factories
In the hands Of wholesalers and retailers They also
analysed the costs Of materials power and similar
features having a bearing upon the subject.
The findings Of the conference reported to the general
convention that the survey showed no hope Of lower
building costs because Of the high costs production and
transportation. The effect of freight increases due to
government operation has made itself felt heavily IN the
cost Of building materials The materials were found 70
cost IS to 40 percent more than before the war
The government is much interested in renewal OF build
ngas much it was interested during the war in curling
building The desire then shut it off almost entirely
teras and bring about transfer of labor from building
business structures and houses lines which labor was
needed for the successful prosecution Of the war In order
effect that curtaient very high freight rates were
placed on building materials; prohibve rates in fact
Business buildings and houses must be erected They
needed there Is other way, the builders viii have
to shoulder the present costs and do the best they can
But the government would give marked evidence of the sin
oety OF its desire to stimulate building if it would restore
the freight rates building materials to something Ike
