THE RunDING o1rr1ooK

A warning has been issued against
delay in building by George NJ. Seglin,
expert estimator for the department
Of architecture of the state of New
York, who declares that prices will
probably not drop for a decade. No
possible drop, he says in building
| prices can be looked for until the
shortage OF building during the war
has been overcome, and the longer
building is PVT off the more acute will
the demand be and the higher prices
will go.
MI seglin has no faith in the views
expressed~by some that possible
break in the high cost of building is
in sight. ,His reasons for taking this
position are based on the following:
] With the depression in the building
/ Held prior to our entrance into the
war, and the governments discourage
nenC or private construction during
| the conflict so as to make possible its
own intensive building program, the
/ country is now just about 200 per cent
| behind the normal in the production
! OF permanent construction.
II this nation made a superhunan
effort and doubled its production each
year, it would take four years to over
! come this shortage. We have lust
enough OF a supply on hand to take
/ care of our increased population But
this does not mean that the property
/ owner would have to cut his legiti-
mate profits to rent his property. for
! 1t IS only when an oversupply is
reached that the law of supply and
demand steps in and causes drop in
prices.
But this ideal condition of produc-
ton is absolutely impossible. due to
a number of reasons. For one thing.
we ind that the various state, munich
pal and commercial needs will demand
a big proportion of the available con-
struction, leaving very little for home
construction. In fact, this need is so
urgent that it is questionable whether
there will be possible for some time
10 come any surplus home coRstrue-
ton While the most optimistic view
would place the return to normal al
four wears, the actual return will
/ probably be nearer to six or /seven
years. By normal is meant a suffi-
Gent supply to take care of the de-
mand comfortably and a production
ample to provide for the average in
crease.
In the face of existing conditions it
will be six or seven years before the
building material market can hope to
begin the accumulation of surplus
and then. ana only then. will there be
a recession in prices Moreover. this
recession will be gradual as the sur
plus can only be acquired over a
period of years. In other words. It can
not be expected for at least eight OF
ten years.
