II is our belief that the unwilling
ness or inability OF local financial in
situttuns fu adopt the so per cent
financing plan in Wilmington, such at
is operative and so beneficial in Phil
adelphia. together with the reluctance
OF local banks To cooperate by plac-
ing mortgage loans. all initiate very
strongly against development of local
building. We believe that we have
reached, with the exceptions noted
above, the lowest level In material and
labor costs which we may expect for
at least two or three years. especially
in view of the present situation as
above noted.
While we have secured and tahulat-
cd quite a number OF detailed prices
we do not feel that these have a
proper place in this general report
hence are combining ourselves to the
tables given above.
Your committee finds that In the
ma iority Of cases where either labos
or material is concerned. each has
made as great reductions this year
as reasonably could have been cx-
peeted, with. OF course, the exceptions
previously noted. That inasmuch as
both of these major conditions have
been remedied as far as possible by
local firms and individuals interested.
ft is but reasonable TO hope that the
public will meet them halfway. and
resume operations in order TO stinu-
late business. help in solving the hous-
ing problem and the rent situation.
