there was any unlawful combina-

There are. however. few un-
natural conditions to which we
deem it our duty to refer, which
have a marked tendency to Increase
building cost and, therefore. are a
public detriment. These unnatural
conditions can and should be ,elimi-
mated and hence we advert to them
in this report: r-
81. The evidence sdduced before
US indicates beyond a doubt that
the present building code in many
respects is unsuited to present day
conditions. 1t can and should be so
amended as to be placed upon a
more scientific basis. Such an
amendment would at the same time
noticeably reduce the cost of-hsiId-
ing operations.

Void in Materials.
THE war has created a tremep-
dous void In materials and commod-
tiles of all kinds and prices are
high by reason of this scarcity. The
law of supply and demand is as in
exorable as any law OF nature and
prices can only become lower when
the worlds storehouse has again
reached it's normal level. This is
true of buildings and building COM
modities just as of any other COM
modify.
The cost of dwellings will de-
preciate to a marked extent and
rentals will be lower when the men
who build homes will do a full days
work ungrudgingly with pride alike
in the quality and quantity of their
output.

The same is true. but in less

OF the building code. and we recon-

ain. This would be fair enough if
the embargo was enforced in England
also, but this is not the case. An
English firm has no difficulty in get
ting an expectation permit. No Irish
firm is allowed permit. We can
still sell our hides to America, but we
must pay the English firm a commits
sion and the freightage on these hides
to an English port although in real
lty the goods would never see an
English harbor, but be loaded at
Queenstown under the permit of the
English firm.
Further illustration of this is the
closing of the port of Queenstown to
incoming vessels, when we had sue
ceeded in getting an American line to
make it port of call. Recently
merchant in Dublin chartered an
American vessel for cargo direct
from New York. When the vessel
docked in Dublin harbor, it was
boarded by British customs officer,
who served notice on the captain of
the ship that he would not be allowed
to discharge his cargo until the port
of entry charge of Liverpool harbor
and freightage had been paid, not
withstanding that his ship had never
sighted Liverpool. When the officer
was asked by the consignee why he
had to pay Liverpool entries on his
goods when they were disembarked
at Dublin, he was told that they
should have been shipped via Liver
pool anyway.
eve took this incident up with the
United States Shipping Board but
without results. However we have
succeeded in getting the American
Moore Nc Cormack line to put in a
transatlantic and coastwise service
to Ireland and we believe that they
will attempt to safeguard their inter-
est henceforth against matters of this
