The coal and transportation strikes,
Cooper said, have not had q great

enough to cause much trouble. They
did not interfere with the peak of the

There is every indication. altho It
cannot be definitely stated that 1928

Cooper is averse to the idea OF
soaring the public, either into
building or refraining from building.

says. costs are not coming down in

Idle Topeka Is Booming.
SURVEY BY FRED B. COOPER
Increase in Building Material
Cost Causes SIackening.
Price of Steel Is High and the
Supply Is Scarce.

There is at the present time in
progress in Topeka, more building
than in any other city Of the same
size in the middle west, with the pos
gible exception of Kansas City, Kan.
Fred B. Cooper, publisher OF the Kan
sas Construction News and an author
tty on the suD1eot of building opera
tions in this state, declares.
For the first time since 1 have been
connected with the building trades,
and informed as 20 what building is
under way, Topeka is doing more
building than wichita" Cooper says.
THE reason is that Topeka was
farther behind with her building pro-
gram, than the other cities of the
state. I could name a dozen projects
which are now just getting under way
which should have been started year
or more ago.
4. There is, in the state, a seasonal
depression at the present time, in the
building industry: This depression

This condition is not true turnout
the state of Kansas, Cooper says. He
draws his conclusions from observa-
ton, from correspondence and con-
versatfon with men who are travelling
over the state in the building line,
and from a careful perusal of all avail
able building data.
with the steadily increasing cost
of building material, there is cor

Cooper says. at is not true. however,
that the slackening is all due to the
price of building material.

Always, at this season of the year,
there is a period of depression. This
is normal. There are many building
projects for which the late fall is not
a propitious time. and these activities
are being suspended. They are the
cause of the seasonal slackening which

Building activity is always good on

is because prospective builders believe
in doing it now before the prices get

possible drop in the market.

portions, that on which the old house
stood. and two other outlying tracts
The house itself was constructed in
1888, and was one of the most beau

of the two pioneers that the settle
