twenty-five percent. Other articles
and materials which go into the
building of dwellings have also
shown a decrease of from ten to
twenty-five percent. Many of the
dealers it was found. have been
forced to sell their stock for less
money than the price they paid for
it. in order to meet the present mar
ket prices.
When one considers building
however, the question of money
arises, and no matter how low the
cost of material and construction
may be little building will be done
unless money can be obtained. At
the present time it is no easy mat
ter to obtain money on mortgages
from private investors, from banks
or building and loan associations.
Nearly every building and loan
association at the present time has a
long waiting list of those who de-
sire to make loans either for build
ing or repairing purposes. and al
though it is hard to obtain money
for this work at this time, it was
learned at one of the building loan
associations. that those who desire
to put up new buildings, mainly
dwellings, were receiving first con-
sideration.

HOUSING ACTION
BY LEGISLATURE
Speaker Hobart Introduces
Measure Creating Special
Committe on Building.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Feb. 1:-Speaker of
the House George S. Hobart has in
troduced a resolution creating a
special committee to investigate the
building conditions in this state to
ascertain whether there is price fix
ing in building materials which is
affecting the housing situation. The
committee is to consist of three SEN
ators and three aSsemblymen who
shall investigate the shortage of
dwellings, reduction in the volume
of building operation and TO ascer-
tain and report if there ake causes
other than these of an economic ma
ture, which produce or contribute to
the difficulty in obtaining the neces-
sary materials and labor, and to
what extent they contribute to the
high cost of construction.
The committee will be authorized
to investigate as TO the practices and
methods of contractors and others
concerned with the construction and
repair of dwelling houses and other
buildings and to what extent build
ing operations are being impeded by
the lack of available capital to
finance such operations and whether
there has been a withdrawal OF
funds for mortgage loans on real
estate and the reason.
The sum of $4,000 is appropriat-
ed for the work, which is to follow
the lines of a similar commission in
New York.

Cost of Building Declining
in This Section, Reports Sh0V,
But Not to AnyLarge Extent

From all indications now is the
time to consider building. Accord
ing to information available from
reliable sources building is cheaper
now than it has been since January
/. 1919. The peak of the high prices
as far as building is concerned. oc-
Cured in March of last year. There
was a steady Increase in price from
January ], 1919. until September of
that year. when a. decline occurred
during the months of November
and December. Following this de-
cline, the price again began to raise
until the peak was reached in March
OF 1920. after which a general de-
cline took place. This decline con-
tinued until October. 1920. when
after a slight increase. the price
uary 81, just past, the price was
lower than January I, 1919.
Not only has lumber taken a de-
cline, but all other materials neces-
sary- to build a house have, shown
a considerable drop in price. 1t
was estimated by one of the leading
builders in the city today that a
house, which on February 1 last
year cost $4,000, could be built to-
day for $500. This is $500 less
than one year ago. There is a posi-
bility that this price may again take
a drop. but it is pointed out that
this depends on whether or not la
Dor will agree to a reduction in
wages. Although lumber has shown
considerable decline in price during
the past few months, some of the
leading dealers and jobbers are of
the opinion that it will again take
a raise, they do not anticipate. how
ever, that the raise will be anywhere
near the peak reached in March,
1920.
A general idea of how the various
materials needed in building have
lowered in price may be obtained
from the following figures gathered
from various jobbers and builders:
Lumber twenty-five percent reduc-
ton over the prices a year ago.
Brick shows a decline from $2S to
s22 per thousand. Cement declined

PITTSBURGH, Feb. MANY in
dependent steel manufacturing con-
Germs today increased operations on
what executives united in saying
was cautiously conservative basis.
after about six weeks in which op-
eraxions have been suspended or
greatly curtailed. 1t was predicted
that within a few days operations
would be about forty per cent. of its
capacity.
Some of the business which
brought about resumption was for
export trade. one order being for
s1,000,000 worth of steel towers to
be used in wireless installation at
Osaka. Japan.
From points outside the Pitts
bough district came similar reports
of increased operations. Many
plants resumed operation under
changed labor conditions. in some
instances wage reductions were ac-
cepted and in other working time
was reduced as to bring operations
within the eight hour day and thus
avoid time and half for overtime.

ing in Unison.

The financial statement of St.
Mary's church on Center street in
this city has been issued for the
current year from January 1 to
December 81, 1920. This report
shows that the local church has
Iaid off the last of the debts on the
Stanley mortgage. A balance of
S22,433.97 is on hand at the present
time.
The remarkable results obtained
were due to the cooperation and
work done by the rector and his as
sistants and congregation during
the past year, and the several Cath
olic societies have rendered aid that
help put the church on a sound fl
napcial footing. The generosity and
work of the children of the church
is also responsible for the banner
year of 1920.
The church of Our Lady of Peace
in Fords now has a debt of $4,000
which is on note held by the local
church, and the property and
church building is estimated as be-
ing worth about $4,000. About
thirty-five per cent, of the $4,000
note was paid off this year and it is
expected that within three years
the church in that place will be free
from debt also.
