SOUTH BEND BUILDS
HOMES THIS SEASON,

Construction of New Houses
Affords Employment to
Thousands of Skilled
Artisans.

South Bend has Jared better in
the number Of new homes construct
ed this year than any other city in
the United States. size considered.
This is the opinion Of many lumber
men, who after scanning the num-
Der OF building permits issued for
residences. are amazed that il ex-
ceeds last year when the home
shortage was most evident More
than 400 permits for new homes
have been issued. whereas last year
the total Appropriated $50.
Sharp breaks In material prices

ing stimulated With lumber. ce-
ment, masons supplies. and roofing
down 90 10 40 percent, as well as
an appreciative drop in the price OF
labor. the entire cost of building is
20 10 50 percent below the high Level
Of last spring.
South Bend has been fortunate in
the amount Of construction under
taken this year. 1t has furnished
employment to thousands Of men.
as well as doing much towards re-
heving the housing situation. There
IS naturally, a scarcity of desirable
homes. but as building develops more
and more, and with the promise OF
new apartment buildings, this con.
dition will be greatly mitigated.

South Bend People Who Seek Desirable

Building and
Real Estate

Gradual improvement is foreseen
IN the building industry during the
next few months and before cold
weather puts a damper on outside
operations The results Of the year
should be far from discouraging.
Manufacturers of contractors equip
ment and construction machinery
report an increa-5 IN inquiries. De-
mand for building hardware IS re-
ported the heaviest in months. A
good many househOlders who have
withheld their plans for residence
building are now taking the decisive
step. Cement production reveals a
very fair amount OF activity in this
industry.
Material prices have changed lit
tie since the pronounced decline
early IN the year. and seem about as
low as they are due 10 go for the
time. This partial stability will in
vite new building. Competition is
keen and Will check upturns- Freight
reductions. so ardently desired by
the public, may play an important
part In future costs, but promise no
great measure Of relief this year as
the building season is already far
advanced. Freight rates affect prices
OF bulky materials like sand, limo
and gravel very materially. The
railroads Of Virginia have set their
compeers q good example by volun-
tarily reducing freight rates on this
type OF material In order TO stimu-

struction for the balance of the year.

ments decrease efficiency ard pre-
vent the owner from getting honest
value" Many architects have felt
that they could not advise their
clients TO build.

ZONING STABILIZES
CITY REAL ESTATE
Builder Then Has No Fear of
Garage Being Erected
Next Door.

The primary purpose behind zon-
ing and one not clearly understood IS
the stabilizing OF real estate values.
OF the value of real estate than the
promiscuous erection OF buildings
unsuited TO the neighborhood in
which they find their being. II takes
only one store. one warehouse. one
lumber yard, one garage to cause the
rapid deterioration Of values on a
whole street or in an entire district
in which there need not have been
any marked change IN values had
the street remained a purely resi-
dence street. The presence Of that
store, warehouse, lumber yard or
garage caused the adjoining proper
ties TO lose their desira bility as resi-
dence properties. at once. The own
ers OF these properties sell out 10
less desirable neighbors. This in
turn causes the sale OF the adjoining
property until in a short time every
one on the street IS anxious to move
and is compelled to take a loss on
his property.

BHghted Districts Are
Curse of American City

One Of the greatest curses OF
American cities for the past so years
has been the creation or blighted
districts New York has not been 30
much affected by them as some OF
the other great cities Of this coun-
cry. but every resident OF New York
knows the financial loss that accom-
panies the creation OF a bhghted
district. Il IS not only because the
former owners have lost nearly all
OF their investment, but these
blighted districts become an actual
expense TO the municipality because
OF unsanitary conditions and the
need OF additional expenditures in
them by almost every department OF
the city.-Elward NJ. Bassett. New
