SEE Decline IN
BUILDING COSTS
Report to This Effect Ex-
pected From Commerce
Chamber Committee
FIGURES ARE
SHOWN TODAY

A meeting OF the general commit
tee on readjustment OF building and
construction in wilmington. which
was appointed by A. d. Warner, Jr.
president OF the Chamber OF Com
merce, is being held this afternoon
to receive the report OF the statis-
tical committee concerning costs Of
material and labor.
Joseph NJ. Pusey Is chairman OF
the general committed. The statis-
ticai committee is composed of John
D. Thompson. Jr.. J. c. Sinclear and
Captain c. NJ. Dillon.
The statistical committee has been
working on its report for several
weeks and has prepared what II be-
lieves is an exhaustive resume of
building trades conditions. From
what can be learned the report will
show a decline in cost sufficient to
warrant investors going ahead with
construction OF homes, apartments
and Office buildings. All phases OF
the building trades are treated.
These embrace reports from archi-
tects. contractors, supply men, bank
ing interests and labor.
Much valuable data showing COM
parison between prices today and
before the war has been assembled
and worked out on a percentage
basis, thus giving opportunity for
the general committee 20 know ex-
actly which commodities have been
reduced and how much. Costs OF
material and labor in neighboring
towns and cities also have been OBJ
tanned in response to criticism that
cost OF material to Wilmington deal
ers is higher than in other COM
munties within a competitive radius.

company members or at least some
Of them. were dispieased at the ac-
tion OF the directors in refusing 10
purchase their house at Second and
Orange streets. The Delaware COM
pany members feel that inasmuch as
the city. through the Department Of
Public Safety, has purchased all but
the Fame and its headquarters and
an apparatus but the truck owned
by the Delaware company, that they
have been treated unfairly.
When asked today on what
grounds he proposed to seek the re-
straining order, Mr.. Herman re-
piled on she act creating the De-
partment OF Public Safety and other
matters that enter into the action OF
the directors in organizing the paid
department.
Mr.. Harman held a conference
with the Directors Of Public Safety
yesterday afternoon when the ques-
ton of the city's purchasing the
house and apparatus OF the Della
ware Company was threshed out. 1t
is understood that the Department
Of Public Safety has offered the Del
aware Company $4,000 for its truck
which cost s14O0. This sum. the
hremen hold. is low, as the manu-
facturers OF the truck have offered
them $4,000 for the apparatus.
Members OF the Delaware Co. are
understood TO have been incensed a.
the refusal OF the directors to pur-
chase their fire house on French
street, claiming it was as good as
any fire house in the city, that they
were one OF the oldest fire compan-
les in the city and that the directors
consequently were in duty bound tc
purchase their house.
