has it's firm foundations in the small
e r municipalities. Twenty three
cities go over the million dollar
mark In valuation of permits as
against sixteen in February and
twelve In January.
Chicago does not contribute to the
March increase, dropping as II does
to practically one-half of its Feb
ruary valuation. This is due, prob
ably more than anything else. to the
fact that the matter of wage scales
Is yet hanging fire. Before this goes
to press, the result OF the referendum
of the building trades as to whether
a 20 cents an hour cut will be ac-
|cepted on the present x1.25 per hour
scale will be known.
or course, III the vote shows determ-
ination to stick. more pressure is in
store. and the pressure will dam back
building. II the vote shows acqul-
essence. II is thought very likely that
the cost of construction will allow
for much work to be projected.
Boston is another city wherein
building permits reflect the results OF
labor conditions. The ten weeks
strike Is the most obvious cause of
the slump from February.
N. Y. SHOWING OPTIMISTIC.
New York city, considering the
total for the five Boros. presents a
very optimistic showing, and the chief
cause for the swing OF activity in the
metropolis is the tax exemption clause
which has been reviewed in these col
umns. According to statements made
public by Tenement House Commits
Isioner Mann, "Ninety-three plans for
Ininety-six buildings containing $3.50
apartments. costing Sl0,131. 800 were
filed during the first quarter of this
year.
plans filed for new tenements from
the passage of the tax exemption or
dinance on February 20 to March 81.
number fifty-seven. These are for
sixty three buildings containing $50
apartments"
The above statements refer to four
boroughs. Manhattan, Bronx, Brook
lyn and Queens.
1t Is apparent that March of this
year, though showing distinct prog
ress from preceding months. does aot
bring us to the money value of per-
mits attained during the early months
of 1920. We must not forget that the
cost of construction has decreased.
because in reality there is not so great

CONDITIONS BETTER LAST YEAR.
The permits issued one year ago
were issued during the peak of con-
strutcion material prices and during
a money mad industrial era which
lead to the slack we are yet in.
Considering that In March, 1890. the
price OF lum Der was 223.3 per cent OF
it's price January. 1919, and by Marca
Of this year has receded to s0:l per
cent; that structural steel in March.
1920, was 1916 per cent and in March
of this year Is 1871 per cent; that
there has been a reduction in common
brick prices from a peak OF 1913 ps-
cent In 1920 to l2l.6 In March Of this
year; and that Portland cement hh.,
receded to 1850 per cent from it's 1920
peak of 1919 per cent; the building
material situation looks really hore-
full
The labor phase contributing to the
high cost of building is also being
adjusted. Not only have wage cuts
been made in many cities. but what is
equally important. efficiency has b"cn
increased. The condition in this re-
spect is incomparably better than X
was in the early months of $780,
