DECREASE IN BUILDING
ACTIVITY IS INDICATED
Expected Car Shortage Les
sens NerU Plans.

Fear of car shortage for building
materials slow down and cost raising
of production on account of coal scarcity
have operated to lessen projected plar-
ming for construction activity" accord
ing to the AmeracGn Contractor.
TT is unfortunate that the construc.
tion industry, which brings employment
to about 100000 men and which b.
its great activity so far this year IN
producing sorely needed shelter has
brought all business out of the doldrurs
and onto firm sold basis, should have
received such body blow. But whist
otherwise could be expected as a result
of a coal strike allowed to hang on and
on throughout the spring and summe"
and a rail strike which has added contu-
sion to already confused rail conditions
brought about by an eight year period
of insufficient buying of rolling stock
to make up for ordinary depletion.
"The official returns from 1875 cities
to the American Contractor show that
during July 56,332 permits were issue /
whose valuation was s212.S14292. Re
turns from the SO me number of cities
for June gave a total estimated valu1-
ton of 1851. 1.639.S3 and from the same
number Of cities for May gave a totai
OF $247,192.15S. Thus is shown a marked
slump in July plans for building.
New York city ,ndergoes "A big dro?
in expected valuation OF projected activ
ity, the valuation being S5S,217.171 II
June and S35,133,017 In July.
"The construction industry IL cor
fronted with finding a way around car
shortage and car rriorities The cost
of construction is higher than 1t was ~
the beginning of the season, and so Ions
as the voluminous amount of projec'
valuation under way is not completed
there will continue to be shortage or
skilled workmen in some crafts, partica
larly bricklaying aid plastering."
