PREDICT SPEED
UP IMPETUS IN
BUILDING WORK

Architects and builders through
out the country are confident that
with the return to an open" mar
ket and the revival of the law of
supply and demand construction is
now ready to be speeded up with
an impetus the like of which has
not been seen in years, according
to the American Architect.
These men feel that in a large
percentage of materials prices can
not recede without a reduction in
wages. It is not probable that
leaders in industry will consent to
a wage cut at the present time. In
the steel market, where factories
are working at approximately 60
per cent of capacity, the railroad
administration call for bids on
200 900 tons of rails to supply ap-
proximately 10 per cent Of an esti-
mated demand is the first indica-
ton of large orders that are to fol-
low. The building industry is
closely watching developments in
this phase of the situation and
what an open" market, with the
removal of federal restraint, will
accomplish. 1t is expected it will
make a very active construction
market.
Conditions Improve.
In all branches of the building
material industries conditions dur
ing the week have developed a
marked improvement. All clay
products, as well as manufactured
goods in metals, are in better de-
maid, with wholesalers and deal
ers busy with orders for immedi-
ate delivery. Lumber is moving
from the yards to the contractors
in exceptionally large volume.
A feature in the market is in the
announcement of building permits
issued during the week. The per-
mits show the contemplative build
ers are becoming more and more
convinced of ultimate sterilization
of prices and are going ahead with
speculative projects.
Churches, theatres and apart
ments took the lead in the new
construction work reported from
the offices of architects this week.
There is a tendency downward
on neat cement, lime and hollow
tile prices. All common brick re-
mains firm at SIS per thousand
wholesale, with some grades at a
slightly higher level. Leading
building brick distributors have at
last come forward into the market
at current prices.
There have been sharp advances
on Italian marble, this product
bringing IS a foot for seconds.
Black and gold Italian marble can
not be had, but there is a liberal
supply of domestic marble in these
grades. Lumber prices are not
likely to drop for a long time to
come. Mills in every section of the
country are operating at a loss or
barely making expenses. In the
North Carolina pine region the
average cost as shown by reports
from SO mills for the month of De-
cember was $375S f. o. b. mill; the
average selling price was about
$4,000.

house. Investigating, he found men
attempting to loot it and an auto
mobile standing outside. He tele-
phoned to a number of neighbors.
A posse was formed and the intrud-
ers made a hasty retreat when
Shoop opened fire.
The license of the automobile was
noticed and Harrisburg police were
notified. Detective Carson was de-
tailed on the case and was waiting
at the drug store of Druggist William

Steelton police were notified to
be on the lookout for Fisher. He was
arrested within a short time. But
when he was being taken to the Jail,
he broke away from the patrolmen.
He was arrested about two o'clock
this morning in the North Seventh

Fisher admits his guilt in the
matter. Acy contends that he was
hired merely to take the men to
Cove where the third man wished
to get some baggage from the resi-
dence. This story is substantiated
by Fisher. Acy has standing per-

BOROUGH LEAGUE
TOOUTLINE WORK
Municipal League Members TO
Discuss Activities For
Coming Year

A program of activities for the
coming year will be tentatively out
lined by the Municipal League in
special session in the conference
rooms of the steel plant offices at
Front and Swatara streets this eve
ming. The meeting which will be
addressed by j. Horace Mcfarland
of Harrisburg. is open to members
and nonmembers. invitations having
been sent out to a large number of
residents of the borough.
Among the major matters to be
discussed tonight will be the erec-
ton of community house as Il
memorial to the borough's service
men; elimination of the old Penn
sylvania canal below Locust street
which has been considered a nuis-
ance for sometime by businessmen;
improving conditions in the vicinity
of Booser's Run and the housing
problem.
The community house project is
being discussed by borough taXpay-
ers. There is some opposition being
noticed on the grounds that the bor-
ough is not in position financially at
this time to erect building large
enough. The matter will be thorough
lY thrashed out and If league men,
bers believe it advisable to go ahead
with the move efforts will be made
to clearly inform the public of the
plans and see just what the borough
residents at large think of Steelton
taking the step.
The remaining section of the canal
is a nuisance businessmen declare
and they believe it should be elimi-
mated as they can see no special
use for it and is more detrimental
than useful. Some drastic meas
ures must be taken to better con-
ditions at Booser's run. business
men declare. Efforts have been
made several times to make changes
there, but no definite action has
been taken.
The housing problem has reach
ed the stage where it is necessary
for the league to take action for the
protection of the boroughs interests,
member said. The borough is not
only losing residents but much
business, being unable to adequate
ly take care of it's present residents
and persons desirous of making
Steelton their future home, it is
said.
