Unscrupulous Building Methods

1t would be an endless task to list
and describe all of the possible faults
of construction which an unscrupulous
builder might use in the erection of
small house, and, indeed, it would re-
suit largely in rehearsing all of the de-
tails of good construction, and then re-
versing them, showing that instead of
doing the correct thing it was done
quite the opposite way. But there are
certain obvious and glaring faults OF
construction which are employed by
speculative builders with one purpose
| in mind, namely, to reduce the cost but
maintain a good appearance.
An intentional and clever disguise OF
poor construction is, at heart, the DIS
honest thing against which this article
is written. The defects of construction
which are either the result of ignorance
or unskilled labor, while they are bad
enough, are not malicious, but those
defects which are Intentionally plan
ned are simply systems of stealing, and
they are usually found in the so-called
speculative house, which the unwary
public buys in preference to securing
an honest house, designed by an archi
tect And it is this system of dishon-
est construction that makes the specu-
lative house seem, on the face, cheaper
than the honest house.
Indeed, il is the whole intention OF
such dishonest methods of building to
make the house seem, on the face of 1t
substantial, good.looking, and honest
but to hide, beneath the glamour of its
exterior, weaknesses of structure which
will cause all kinds Of failures after
few years of standing. SO long as
the house stands together until the
builder has sold it to some unsuspecting
buyer, that is all that interests him.
=. In observing some of these dishonest
methods of construction it is well t(
keep in mind that they will appear or
the exterior well done. but that theil
faults are hidden, and Intentional!

DAILY COTTON REPORT

Reflecting the easier tendency ol
money in the leading financial centers
of the world, the bank of England re-
duced its discount rate today from the
record high level of Z per cent estap-
Hshed in April, 1920, to six and han
per cent.
London advises that settlement oil
the British coal strike appears more
likely than at any time since miners
laid down their tools, and II is con-
sidered that there are good prospects
for q settlement Of the dispute in the
near future.
The market however was not attect-
ed very much by the more favoraple
financial and labor news from England
probably because Of France having re-
iected Germany's latest reparauons
proposals and Of the apprehension oi
the threatened occupation of the Ruhr
valley by French troops in event OF
Germany failing to pay the indemnity
of l2.OOO, 900 900 marks by May 1st.
