CHEAP BUILDING.
PHANTOM HOPE.
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Ruling Makes
Price Cutting Chimerical.

Prospect Of cheaper building ma
terials In the spring. of 1891 has
been reduced TO a phantom hope, by
the recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Vigorous protests have been
lodged with the commission by ce-
ment manufacturers and other
building material interests against
an order that prohibits the use of
certain types of cars in transport
ing building materials or conveying
raw materials to building material
manufacturing establishments. The
effect upon the cement plants rs to
curtail production seriously, If, in
deed. it does not necessitate a shut
down Of many kilns because of the
restricted supply of limestone, an
important component of cement
manufacture, which this order will
entail
The hope for present-leveI prices
was based upon the supposition
1900 VIC SOdl NOulu Dt tdEltI
as the next building season ap-
preached its opening date. that
there would be a continuation OF
in transportation IA
cilities afforded building material
manufacturing plants. that there
would develop circumstances of
such a character as would encour-
age lending institutions to return
to the building investment market
and that credit conditions insuring
against a return of the 1912 shoe
string builder days" would be sup
ported. All these conditions would
have insured stability of prices at
present levels.
There was a fighting chance for
such conditions to obtain up to the
close of the first week in this month.
First. there came the extremely un-
settling Interstate Commerce Com
mission order effective midnight or
Sunday. October 10. At once the
manufacturing schedules of the
country's cement plants became dis
arranged again, although the stock
of cement in all the United States
in September was only one-htJf of
what it was a year ago and only 40
per cent Of what it was two years
ago.
Today it is actually half a million
barrels less than it was thirty days
ago, and under the new service or
der it is steadily declining. No one
can now tell how far the supply will
drop. but it is certain to continue
its downward course just so long
as this order remains in effect. Un-
der such circumstances it is unwise
to expect general lowering of prices.

Lack of Cottages Blow
To Little God of Love

There may be just as mulch love
in the world today as ever. but as
the Deseret News points out it is
not of the kind that poets were
wont to sing about as love in a
cottage" chiefly because of the lack
of cottages. Yet in some sections
reports are to the effect that the
shortage of houses is acting as an
Incentive to marriage. The naive
explanation of this phenomenon is
that when there were houses to be
had. the possession of one was a
natural preliminary to wedlock. but
now that they are not TO be had,
newly married couples are estab-
fishing themselves in lodgings or in
the homes of their parents or
fri6 nds and not troubling about the
old obligation to secure separate
places. Conditions have compelled
a change from the sld attitude of
reproach attaching to the young
pair who welded without providing
themselves with a permanent home.

COOPERATIVE BUILDING

SUCCESSFUL IN NEW YORK

During the last fifteen years there

The owners of stock in these

management, very gratifying re-

no difficulty at any time in dispos-

ordinary profits.
Let us briefly review some of the
fundamentals which justify the
creation Of any cooperative apart

CANADA AIDING
HOME BUILDERS
$25, 900, 900 Appropriated
To Be Lent to Provinces
AT 5 Per Cent Yearly.

More than 5000 dwellings have
been erected in Canada this year
under the Dominion and provincial
housing schemes. This total viii
be increased by the end of the year
by the continuance Of building IN
sections of the country where cli-
matte conditions permit II. More
houses have been built under the
Canadian housing scheme than un-
der that in operation in Great Bri-
tain. according to the New York
Herald
The Canadian Parliament appro-
priated $4,000, 900 for housing. This
money is to be lent to the provinces
at 5 per cent per annum. ProVincial
voted sums to supple
ment those borrowed from the DO
minion and made provision for loans
to persons desiring to build dwell
ing houses. Nearly all of the Do
minion appropriation has been
taken up. -,
In Ontario the sum appropriated
for housing. federal and provincial,
totaled about 100000. In New
Brunswick also fifty houses have
been built under the federal scheme.
In Quebec homes have been erected
and garden suburbs have been laid
out. In the western provinces num-
dreds of homes have been built
mostly for returned soldiers.
Indications are that building
will be more extensive
in 1921 than they have been in 1920.

REALTORS TAKING ACTIVE
PART IN BUILDING OF HOMES,
s NATIONAL CANVASS SHOWS

"A few weeks ago a QUESTIONABLE
was sent out by the National Real
Estate Journal to sos reaItons, in a
limited number of representative
cities from coast to coast, asking
for Information concerning the con-
struction OF houses by the realtors.
70 whom the questionnafre was ad-
dressed. Four of the questions asked
were these:
81. How many houses have you
built In the last two years?
:. How many houses do you plan
to build?
J. win your own forces build
them?
:. Do you buy the materials re-
Replies have been received at this
Tune from 1877 of the realtors,
tbout 10 per cent, according to the
2aper. Deductions made from the
fplies bear out strongly the state
uents recently made that real es-
tate men are steadily becoming a
greater factor in construction work
Among the 1877 realtors who re-
piled, IS have neither built houses
during the past two years nor are
they building any now Six do not
build, but are either remodeling
buildings or financing them The
rfst OF them, 155, are active build
erS.
stThese 1856 realtors have built dur
ng the past two years 4,S25 houses;
an average Of 2,412 per year. They
plan to build 2,670, many of them
during the next few months. all no

homes at lower costs than the in
dividual homeseeker. They have
entered construction work as a per-
manent branch of their business and
when their ranks are supported, as
they will be. by the realtors who in
years past have done considerable
construction. but who for one reason
or another are now temporarily in
active, the aggregate will climb to
unprecedented heights.
To illustrate this. a. Cleveland
realtor, not building now, writes:
We usually build a number OF
houses each year. to sell from SlO,-

them out Of the market
Why Some Are Inactive.
A considerable number who have
built during the past two years are
not doing any construction now and

are these: viii be governed by cir

nance" I'VE are making a careful
study" ''as conditions warrant"
"if money loosens up" etc.
Several stopped on account Of
strikes. The tenor of the entire in
formation is that the realtors who
have stoTped building regard it as
only a temporary affair. They. all
expect to get back into the work as
soon as conditions permit. But de-
spite that inactivity the total work
being done by the realtors is ac-
tually increasing.
The Garfield Real Estate CO.,
Rochester, say: "Our company have
built no houses during the last two
years. We have been prepared since
last March to build 100 houses at
one time, but found it impossible to
get any guarantee as to materials

LONDON TENANT FIGHTS
IN COURT FOR DOGS

An intimate picture OF life in a
British flat is given in the report of
the trial OF a lady who lived with
three dogs in Grosvenor square,
London. She was sued by due pro-
cess of law and forced to choose
among her two terriers and her
daschhund. all of which she had
owned for five years.
The lady presented lengthy testI-
mony to prove that she used every
precaution to keep her dogs from
annoying other tenants Of the house,
but the cruel judge decreed that the
lady should have only one dog. She
was allowed a month for her deci-
