ebb for some time. II has been due
probably more than to any other
single csuse-to the conviction in

both labor and material costs would
show such decided reduction that
building could be done at that time
much more advantageously than at
the present
Persons who have made very

to the belief that at the present time
building construction may be un-
dertaken and carried through much
more economically than in the re-
cent past. or than present indica-
tions show could be done during
the coming year. Following the re-
cent era OF high prices OF both ma
terial and labor there was a decided
though temporary - decline In
building material costs due to the
large stocks on hand and the neces-
sity OF rapid turnover. This condi.
ton was followed by a secondary in
