OWNERS PROBLEM
IN BUILDING HAS
MANY SOLUTIONS
Prospective Structure Must Be
Sound Economically Before
Details Are Approached.

There are few individuals who build
today purely from the instinct or love
for creating. The final test of any
building in this age is it's utility
Every structure must be regarded as
an investment and as such requires
careful preliminary study.
There are as many gauges OF the
utility OF a structure as there are
types OF building" said Noble Foster
Hoggson. president OF Hoggson Broth
ers, in discussing this phase OF the
building situation. "In commercial
structure the gauge is it's earning ca
pacity; in a private residence success
Is largely measured by the degree OF
comfort and convenience accorded its
occupants: in a bank bulldIrg or
home for a financial institution the
return may be based on an increased
good will or prestige. together with
an ability through efficient arrange
ment to better serve tho public. In
whatever form the retrn. the build
ing represents an investment cf cap
itsi for profit-and th're can be 10
profit unless IL meets the requirements
imposed by the investment.
STRUCTURAL PITFALLS.
The initial decision TO improve a
piece OF property must be made by
the owner and while structural pitt
falls may be avoided by the choice
OF a tried and experienced building
organization, the economic response
bility must necessarily rest with the
owner This economic phase must
be studied and settled before the
structural problem is approached
So far as the actuai work of build
ing IL concerned there now Is
standard procedure for the solution
OF the construction problem. Not
a brick is laid for the new building
until the architectural design has
been completed. the plans approved,
depth OF excavation decided, kinds OF
materials chosen and most important
OF all--the cost determined.
SHOULD SATISFY SELF.
There is no corresponding stand
ard practice for the approach OF the
preliminary economic problem. Know
ing his needs, the owner should con-
slider every type of building which
might meet his requirements and I'M
der every type investigate and weigh
every factor which might affect the
future utility OF the structure he pro-
poses TO erect.

REPORTS CONDITION IN
IOWA AS VERY BAD.

In a personal letter written from
northwestern Iowa to the editor of the
Waukesha Freeman, the writer says:
This county is in the worst shape |
have ever seen it. Farmers got big
prices during the war and nearly every
one went into debt head over
heels, buying more land land or some
thing else. Now the bottom has drop
ped out. ! know one farmer who for
thirty years saved and worked fear
fully hard. He had $24, 600 in cash,
bought 800 acres more of land at about
$3.50 per acre. Now he has tried to
give it up and lose all payments. But
he is afraid the other man will sue him
for damages and take his old home
"Many have lost from So, 600 to $l0,-
900 the same way. The man who
bought our old place was so sick of his
bargain that be offered to take 81, 900
less than he paid us for it. But even
then it is too high. Any amount of
last years corn is still here in storage.
Owners would not take 80 cents bu-
shell year ago. Now it is worth Is to
% cents. Some corn of the crop of
1919 is still here. 1t could have been
sold for 81 per bushe."
Land values have gone down around
here also but not to an extent to bring
on the kind of disasters reported above.
A travelling man for furniture house
stated here the other day that Wisconsin
was the only state he could go into this
fall and get an order. Conditions aren't
as we would like them but at that we arr
lot better off than the other fellow.
