PRICES In BUILDING
NEARING LEVEL OF
1914, SAYS REPORT.
Figures on Three Home
Types Show Better
Conditions.
MAY STILL DECLINE
Residential Erection Is Now
Most Immediate Question
At Present.
MAY STILL DECLINE

During the last two years of the
war the volume OF residential con-
struction was far below normal. A
short-lived spell OF active building
occurred during 1919, followed by
an abrupt decline in 1920. While
this decline affected every class of
construction its results were
brought home most vividly to the
average community through the
nationwide housing shortage which
inevitably followed the cessation of
building. Almost every city in the
country felt. and continues to feel,
the pressure of high rents and In
adequate housing facilities. 1t is
the problem of residential building,
therefore, which Is of most imme-
date interest to the average citi-
zen.
The detailed figures present a
comparison of the cost OF building
a home in 1914 with the cost of
the same building in 1920. at the
peak OF the high price wave. and in
March. 1922. The figures are for
three different types Of residences,
showing In each case the changes
in the various elements in labor
and material costs.
A home of type A cost in 1914,
s5,52s. In 1920 the same house
cost S12.s15, an increase of 131 per
cent in relation to the-1s14 figure.
In March, 1922, such a house would
cost Ss,5o2. IL per cent more than
the 1914 cost, and IS per cent be-
low the minimum cost in 1920.
