HOME BUILDING
SETS NEW MARK
House Shortage Makes Con-
structiOn Necessary, Lum-
Der Dealer Says.

Present lumber prices are now at
pre-war level If the great increase In
freight rates be taken into consideration
is the opinion expressed by o. d. Haskell
Of the o. d. Haskell Lumber Company.
ait does not seem to be realized gen
orally that lumber is selling right down
to the cost Of production" Mr. Haskell
said. "But beyond a question that has
been the case with a great many COM
pRnies for the greater part Of this year
"Seven years have elapsed since the out
break Of the World War and during that
time the amount Of lumber consumed has
been enormous and vast tracts Of timber
land have been cleared. In that period
the amount Of lumber available for build
ing purposes has decreased sharply and
the consumption Of lumber is running far
ahead of reforestation work. This means
that with the passing OF each year prices
simply must advance as the visible supply
of lumber diminlshes.
within the next ten years the people
Of the United States will be forced to turn
to the Pacific Coast region for their lum-
Der, for by that time the timber belts
of the South will have become exhausted
At least that IL the way 1t looks to me
judging from the present rate OF lumber
consumption. As lumber tracts are thinneo
out the work Of cutting and hauling and
handling lumber will become greater az
will the cost Of getting 1t to the market.
This will result inevitably in higher
prices.
Locally there is nothing to indicate any
cessation in the present rate OF building.
Today Indianapolis is just as badly In
need OF homes as at any former time.
While some progress was made this year,
it really did little to relieve the house
shortage.
ITO begin with practically no new
houses were built during the war and in
nated prices IN 1920 and 1921 restricted
activity that otherwise would have been
great. During this whole period Indian
apolis was gaining in population at the
rate Of about eight thousand year, and
It Is only a simple problem in mathe
mates to figure out that house short
age would result.
ITO meet this shortage a much greater
home building campaign than ever Will
have to be inaugurated, and this, Of
course, means great activity along these
lines in the future"

successfully do stucco work in cold
weather.
However, the problem has been solved
according to building expert connected
with the Indianapolis Mortar and Fuel
Company, by the invention Of "Gran-A-
Tex" a magnetic exterior stucco. This
material, the base Of which is magnesite
is not mixed with water. 1t will not
freeze, It's inventors claim, and will not
freeze when applied or afterwards even
should the temperature fall as low as &c
degrees below zero. Magnesium chloride
Is used in place Of water as the mixing
liquid.
Another point in favor Of Gran-A-Tex
is the fact that It Is not necessary to pro
tect the work unless the rain beats direct
ly against the surface Of freshly applied
material. Not only are architectural
critics said TO consider stueco the most
attractive finish for exterior walls on
residences, churches, schools, stores and
other buildings Of moderate dimensions
but the general public at large has taken
to this method structural finish as hand
some and attractive In appearance.

found that one of the largest items In
which saving can be effected and waste

saving there has grown up large de-
mand for wire devices Of various kinds,

Of the Indianapolis Wire and Iron Works,

SITUATION
FAVORS BUILDING
Conditions Now Ideal, Con-
tractor Says.

Indianapolis undoubtedly has been
blessed with far more than its share of
building activity in the past year, accord
ing to Walter w. Wise, building con-
tractor.
people have awakened to real building
conditions" Mr.. wise said, and are not
slow to take advantage Of a situation
favorable to them. One of the most i'm
portant factors in lowered building costs
has been the increased efficiency OF labor,
both common and skilled. During the
war labor conditions were unfavorable
but now labor has buckled down to work
and Is doing as much as ever 1t did IN the
prewar days.
Another important point is that build
ing material prices have made substan-
tial drop. running from 10 to 80 per cent
in the past six months. This being the
se. It seems to me that those who are
thinking Of building within the next year
should begin work as soon as possible
for conditions now are just about ideal.
"As an example Of the fact that build
ing conditions are good just look at what
our own firm has been doing We have
put the masonry work on three apart
ment houses in the neighborhood OF Six
tenth, Illinois and Meridian streets re
Gently. These houses are unique in de-
sign, incidentally. Also we have been
remodeling the Best Laundry with an
unusually attractive terra Gotta front,
and have done work on the ST. Marks
English Lutheran Church at Prospect and
Linden streets. splendidly designed bit
Of Gothic architecture.
"At present we are doing the masonry
work on the new warehouse of the Ma
tional Paper Stock Company. All OF Thu
indicates that building operations are
now being confined to home building, al
though, OF course. very large proportion
of building construction at present is o.
