REVIVAL OF BUILDING ACTIVITY PROMISED FOR COMING YEAR
Help Start Building
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

There never was time when the shortage Of homes IN
Washington reached such acute stage as It did during 9iY
There have been few years that witnessed as little puaip
Washington, comparatively speaking as did 1919
No mystery attached to the home shortage The tre-
mendou influx of citizens quickly absorbed every avail
abe home and apartment in the District and left great and
ever-growing dearh of housing accommodations
Reasons contbory to the lack of building during 1919
are more difficult to understand Perhaps the greatest
hndrance to building has been the inability of builders to
finance construction enterprises.
Money for building purposes is dhcult to OBTAIN al
reasonable charge Until this condition is changed building
cannot prosper Every interested in the early resumption
of building activity will best serve their purposes by leaving
stone unned that will relieve the building money shortage
There is relief in sight There is bill before Congress
H. R. 8oSOwhich seeks to encourage building by providing
for the exemption from taxation of the income of mortgages
real estate relieving $4,000 of mortgages the handS
of an individual from income tax.
Men with money to invest not investing in real estate
mortgages and will invest in them because of the small
returns obtained Compared with industrial stocks or mu
ncpal and State bonds the latter free from all taxation real
estate mortgages decidedly unattracive investment
Should the bill before Congress become law co9sd
cradle money would be attracted to the mortgage market
Real estate would be readily obtained and building
would flourish.
If this bill s passed BY Congress building activity will
begin 1t will be passed Congress convinced that there
demand for its passage Every real estate owner builder
and tenant can contribute toward the early resumption of
building by writing his friends Congress at once. Do YOUR
share toward nuring building in 1922 and DO 1T NOW!

OWN YOUR
OWN HOME
COMING YEAR WILL SEE
BIG BUILDING REVIVAL
Signs Point to Early Resumption of
Activity In Construc-
ti0n Work.

According to present indications,
the coming year win witness the
greatest building activity this coun-
try has ever known.
All fundamental conditions are
right for a great building era. In the
principal American cities we shall see
much construction OF the larger types
OF residential buildings such as apart
ment houses and hotels, as the short
age OF servant iaboy and various 9th
er conditions have created an unpre-
csdented demand for living accommo-
latfons In buildings or this desfip-
tiou. Never before has there been
such a demand for structures OF all
kinds as exists at present. During
the past year the population OF all our
cities has increased considerably,
which. together with tremendous bush
ness expansion and the large building
deficit which has existed since 1917.
mas created very heavy building re-
quirements throughout the country.
Though the ensuing year will wit
ness great activity in the building in
dustry, this will not be commensurate
with the heavy demand, as the labor
situation has not yet become stabil-
lied, and production for some time
will Necessarily be far below dema I'd.
Not only is there a shortage of labo'
directly engaged in construction
work, but the stocks of building ma
terials are low.
During the last twelve months the
total building and engineering opera
fions throughout the United States
based pp4n contracts r'". ,.,v awataS, sa soo
100000. This increase was approx
mately $750.00O.000 over 1918. Th
actual gain in construction work T.
1919, however. was not as extensiv'
us these figures might indicate, for II
must be taken into consideration tina
the cost of labor and materials ar
much higher than they were one yea
ago.
During 1919 the heavy demand for
housing Accommodations OF all kinds.
increases in costs of operations, taxes
and other expenses have brought
about great advances in rents. A
typical illustration of this has leen
shown In New York city where the
average Advance during the past
year has been about 20 per cent and
where the increases during the en-
suing year are expected to approxi-
mate the same figure. Similar ad-
Vances are expected to take place
throughout the country.
According to some OF the leading
manufacturers of building materials
in the United States the demand for
their products at the present time is
much greater than the supply. The
labor shortage has been the main
cause of underproduction, according
10 these interests. In the steel indus
try, for example, the manufacturers
have not been producing as much as
in normal years. The output prior to
the big steel strike was about So per
cent of normal, while at the present
time it is about 20 or rs per cent, ac-
cording to statements made in we'll
informed circles
There are widely divergent opin-
ions as to the length of time which
must elapse before production in
building materials reaches the level
of demand, but the prevailing belief
among leading manufacturers in this
The Washington times., 1920-01-03

country seems to be that after labor
conditions have become stabilized
such an equalization will occur with
In the next few months.
In the manufacture of most build
ing materials there are two groups
OF employees directly concerned in pro-
duction; skilled and unskilled. Even
at the present time there is a tre-
mendous shortage of unskilied or
wheelbarrow labor with the result
that wages fssr this group have ad-
vanced since 1914 more than $50 per-
cent. so some reports show. This
advance to unskilled labor has re-
suited in large increases to skille
labor for the reason that this class
of workmen has demanded a pop rr-
tionate increase to that paid unsk II
ed laborers. All these advances to
labor have played most vital part
in the increased cost Of materials.
