The Cost of Building
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

Reports coming from the big lumber cenerS of the
country indicate that last the production is creeping apace
of the demand This is heartenng to the building in
dustry The inevitable result will be gradual recession in
the price of lumber which should act a spur to the mme-
date resumption of quantity building There general con-
currence of belief among those who have to do with building
that the present high alone holding back the greatly
needed building programs
Lumber among the first Of the building materials to
give any evidence whatever of decline in price As lumber
perhaps the most important item entering into the con-
strucon of homes builders hopeful that the future
will witness corresponding signs of lower prices appearing IN
building materials Conditions affecting the production
lumber not identical except the labor en-
poyed, with conditions in other lines of building materials
and yet is hardly likely that lumber will sell for lower prices
without corresponding recession in the cost of other ma
terialS.
The tremendous demand for building materials of all
kinds that will exist for several years is certain to keep up
prices certain degree Washington shares with the country
tremendous shortage of housing accommodations. Approx
maely 10 600 homes needed in Washington today II
will be several years before the building of homes can in any
degree satisfy this tremendous demand This need is GER
tain to keep the materials higher level than they
would ordinarily be- and yet it will not prevent prices from
dropping to reasonable plane Prices are cer-
tany high and there must be recession before
general building campaign can begin
The that accounts for the probability OF lower
lumber prices will account for receSson in all lnes-the In
creasing of the production of materials AS quickly build
ing materials can be produced in quantities to meet the re
mendou demand there will be price decline The city and
the country need homes-bulders will not erect them at

Building Totals for
August ShoD Slight
Gain OUer July Mark

August building statistics reported
from III cities TO the American Con-
tractor show a rugged hanging on TO
making plans for going ahead with
building. While IL can not be said
that there is perceptible gain over
the preceding months activity. the
mere fact that there has not been
further recession is encouraging be-
cause during August the deterrent In
fiuences hampering building have
been intensified. During the month
the advanced freight rates were a
subject for adverse speculation until
they became reality and speedily re-
suited In additions tackled TO the hlgh
prices OF materials. Prlorities favor
ing coal at the expense OF building
materials were In effect The fact
that building permits show no recess

ter condition In transportation can
reasonably be expected 10 take place
slowly but none the less surely leads
TO the reasonable conclusion that the
last four months Of 1919 may see
augmented plans for much needed
building.
The valuation OF permits from the
TT cities for August, 1920, IL $40
937, ,i93, as against slol,977.2IO for the
same cities for the corresponding
period for 1919. The loss OF projected
activity is 81 per cent. The number
OF permits has shrunk from 34'so3 TO
32.S52.
August, in 1919. was the peak month
to which activity had climbed fairly
steadily from an almost nil start In
January. From August on there was
a constant but slightly lower level.
This year the case Is entirely diner
ent. Activity started on a high plane
in January. climbed to spectacular
heights In April. and then suffered
adverses from unfavorablc external
influences imposed upon the Industry.
The evidence OF this Is clearly
shown in statistics for fourteen cities
which have been analysed by The
Contractor for the year 1919
for the six-year period from 1914 to
1919, and for the first eight months
OF 1920. The total figures for these

EVER TRY TO BUY

Try to Sell Omaha Sky
SCraper to RanCher.

No one has ever heard OF anyone
trying TO sell the White House or the
Monument Grounds although Central
Park, in New York, has been sold
many times by glib confidence men to
credulous folk from the other side Of
the world. Interests in the Brooklyn
bridge, with its tecming activity, also
have been passed over To trustful
folk.

Omaha came near being bartered

rancher. a man who had met con n
dence mon before and battled the
world and made il give him good
deal more than n mere living, came
near buying the Woodmcn OF the
World Building from men who had no
interest in the structure whatever.
One OF the sharpers produced the
supposed owner and lot OF hgures to
bear out the investment worth OF the
building
The detective in the hotel where the
men had met thought that too much
interest was being given the "open
country" man. and his suspicious were
confirmed by what he heard as he
passed the trio urging on the man in
the center the worth of the invest
ment he was about to make. The
swindlers were arrested. and the man
from the ranch went back home with
several thousand dollars that he came
near losing. The Woodmen OF the
world also retained their building.
This game apparently is Gtill new
