must continue so to do until there
is housing in plenty. This is one of
the greatest breeders of discomfort

moderate incomes and especially those

urged in season and out of season. 1t
Is the duty of all real estate men and,
builders, and, in fact, every man and

must say to Congress that there Is
vastly more need for tax exemption

1921 BUILDING COSTS
MAY BE MUCH LOWER
Revival Of Construction Predict
ed by Fuller Company.

After Weighing the influence OF
every factor At play In the building
neld. and after . thorough survey of
the situation during the year just
closed. the George A. Fuller Company
advances the opinion that building
costs will be lower and there will be
a goodiy amount Of construction car
ried through the next twelve months.
THE end OF the year nnds a re-
duction In the price OF cement. brick,
lumber and steel. as compared with
the peak prices. and the prices of
some OF the other materials are soft
eninK, and further declines are ex-
pected. but today the general average
In material costs is somewhat higher
than II was at the beginning Of 1929"
the company says.
Building material prices may be
divided into two classes: those which
have been normally high and those
which have been abnormally high.
The general economic situation of the
country. including the average drop
OF some 35 per cent In vholesa Q com
modify prices for the year, has had
Its effect In reducing normally high
building prices. while investigat ons
and the pressure of public opinion are
beginninN to knock the props from
under those abnormally high prices
which have been maintained by un-
lawful combines and trade agree
ments.
1--WE look for a stabilization of ma
terisl prices at lower levels in the
iate,spring and early summer. when
building activity will be revived under
the encouragement of these lower
prices. Some upward trend, even, may
result from this increased building
program. but 1920, peak prices will
certainly not be seen again"

The evil effect on the housing situa-
ton. brought about by the Govern
ments levy on income from mort
cages. while municipal State and Fed
eral bonds 40 ekeinptcd, was frankly
explained by Walter Stabler, con-
troller OF the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, to subcommittee
Of the Ways and Means Committee of
the House OF Representatives here
recently. Mr.. Stabler came to Wash =
ington to impress on the committee
the great urgency OF exempting mort
cages as an eIpedient for improving
the housing facilities of New York
and the entire country, for that mat
ter. He told the Congressman that
when the tax demanded by the Gov
eminent had been paid q per cent
mortgage did not net more than 3
per cent.
Mr.. Stabler made a number of sug-
gestions which the committee was
very pleasant to receive.
In a statement on the subject to the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. Mr.. Sabler said:
SITUATION CLEARING.
None of the conditions resulting
from tho war Is causing SO much un-
easiness and such serious discussion
rs the housing situation. BY housing
mean not only places for people to
sleep and eat, but places where they
must work and carry on their daily
vocations. Dwellings. apartments.
factories, stores, office buildings.
hotels-in fact, every class of build
ing used by man-are in short supply.
and this scarcity Is increasing.
Enough has been said and written
In the Ia nf
the causes of this shortage SO far as
the supply and costs of abor and ma
terial are concerned.
The situation in these respects has
cleared to some extent-not by any
means enough nor as satisfactorily
as We could wish, but there Is mate
rial to be obtained and labor to be
had. but at Increasingly high prices.
But we must have buildings even IL
they do cost more than has ever been
known, and we must pay higher rents
than were ever dreamed of. for we
must be protected from the elements
when we sleep and work, and we
must and will adjust ourselves to the
changed conditions and make the best
Of IT.
MONEY NOT FOR REALTY.
But the most serious shortage in
the entire situation Is the shortage of
money for mortgage loans to finance
building operations. There is plenty
Of money in the country, but II has
been taxed out Of the mortgage mar
ket into other channels, where the
chances of profit are greater or the
income taxes less, or where securities
are tax exempt. Money for mort
CAGES has heretofore come very large
ly from individuals and estates, very
many of whom preferred this very
safe and sure from nuctuating values.
Very many conservative men OF
large means formerly directed their
executors to invest the funds of their
estates in bonds and mortgages,
doubt IL this practice will be con-
tinued so long as the income taxes
on large incomes remain as high as
now. When a gross interest rate OF
6 per cent 10 reduced by income taxes
to a net of Q to per cent, the non
taxable municipal or State or county
or school or even road bonds paying
~ to 5 per cent net are naturally
preferred. This has resulted in the
entire removal from the real estate
mortgage market OF untold millions
Of money, and this process will con-

OF CEMENT
RECONSTRUCTION
Fear Of Shortage Is Unfounded.
Now Is Time to Start
Building Boom.

A perlod of depression Is largely
a state OF mind. We had one after the
armistice. We are experiencing one
now. For a year or more, up 70 sew
Al al weeks ago, the conduct OF busl-
ness resembled an obstacle race. Then
railroad service was demorslized' pro-
duction was low, labor scarce and In
efticient. strikes frequent. materials
hard 10 secure and high in price. II
was difficult to get things done-and
everybody wanted to do them.
For the last several weeks business
has had A clear way before II. NOW
railroad service Is much improved,
production Is good. labor plentiful ana
more efficient, materials easy to Sc
cure and lower in price. IL Is easy
to get things done-and apparently
nobody wants to do them.
The construction industry Illus
rates this well. During the war
building was held back by war re-
.trictions. The result was large ac-
emulation OF work waiting TO be
done when the armistice was signed
Yet everybody interested in construc-
ton work adopted a waiting attitude
until about six months after the arm
istice. Then everybody who had
building work to do tried to do 1t At
once but there was not enough tran
sportation. labor and materials to go
around. Prices soared-and the re-
suit was turmoil and disappointment
MUCH WORK WAITING.
Building conditions now are much
the same as when the armistice was
signed. Because of the differences just
mentioned, there is still a large ac-
emulation of work waiting to be
done. Yet everybody interested in
construction work Is adopting a walt
ing attitude. II continued. II may re-
suit in turmoil similar to that ex-
perienced through the last half OF
1919 and nearly all OF 1920. Everybody
knows there is a shortage of dwell
ings throughout the country and rents
are high. Rents will remain high IN
ii. there are enough houses to supply
the demand. But homes are not the
only thing needed. Construction work
of other kinds must go ahead, notably
highways and railroad improvements.
All the foregoing explains features
Of the cement situation not generally
known. Some people have feared
there will not be enough cement
available to supply the needs OF a
large construction program. This Is
a mistaken impression based on past
difficulties. The trouble in the last
year of unusually heavy demand has
been not lack Of cement manufactur-
ing capacity, but inability on the part
Of manufacturers to keep their plants
operating at capacity.
The curtailment of cement produc-
ton was caused by strikes and
scarcity of labor at cement plants
strikes in other lines of industry on
which the cement plants are de-
pendent. such as strikes in the gyp-
sum plants, the strike of coal miners
a year ago, the strike in the Illinois
Indiana coal fields in July, the strike
OF the railroad switchmen which ex-
tended through the greater part OF
this year, and the general lack OF
transportation facilities, including
embargoes on the railroads.

manufacturing capacity for the en-
