No REVIVAL Of
BUILDING SEEN
IN NEAR FUTURE
No Return to Normal Condi-
tons Before the Fall Of
1922 or Spring of 1923,
Is View of Expert
Try The Assncinted Pressl

Chicago, Jan. 21.--Two hundred
building material men from all
parts of country, in conference to
devise means of starting a national
building boom with the object of
bringing down rents, were told by
speakers today that there would
be no general building revival un-
til the prices of building materials
went down.
H. c. Baldwin building expert
from Wellesley Hills, Mass. told
the conference that while there
would be a slight increase in build
ing this summer, there would be
no return to normally before the
fall of 1922 or the spring of 1923.
There can be no bniIding boom
until the prices of building mate
rial are stabilized" he said. "Peo-
pie will not build homes for fear
that prices may come down and
investors will not lend money on
a declining market. They will wait
until they are satisfied that they
will get the most for their money.
Business and prices will not reach
normally before 1922 or 1928, so
there can be no national building
boom until then"
There can be no decrease in
rents while building prices remain
as at present, G. M. Reynolds,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Continental and Commercial
bank, said. Building prices now
are from 100 to 200 per cent higher
than they were in normal times
he said.
II know of buildings being
erected now at a cost of 80 cents
cubic foot, whi;e In normal times
the cost ran as low as 80 cents,
While such a condition exists rents
will stay up.
John NJ. Kirby, president of the
National Lumber Manufacturers
association and presiding officer at
the conference, said that manufac-
turers of most building materials
had not kept pace with the reduc-
tions made by lumber manufac-
