URGES LOWER FREIGHT RATES
TO REDUCE BUILDING COSTS
Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of Newly
Formed American Construction
Council.

Revision of existing freight rates
and other measures to reduce build
ing costs are included in the aims of
the newly formed American Construc-
tion Council. made up of the various
elements of the national construction
industry.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, formerly as
siStant secretary of the Navy. is
president of the council What Will
Hays is to the movies and Kenesaw
Mountain Lands is to base ball
dustry.
According to Mr.. Roosevelt, the
esta blishment Of the council came as
a result of natural economic de-
mand. and construction is the first
great industry to take the step. The
nearest approach to 1t is the effort
to coordinate the different factors
in the motion picture industry. The
council will embrace not only archi-
tects, engineers. contractors. material
and equipment manufacturers and
dealers. bond. insurance and real
estate interests. and the principal
construction departments of public
federal and state construction de-
partments.
Can Collect Statistics.
"The council can collect statistics
covering the entire nation which the
associations representing the allied
branches of the industry cannot COL
merely in an advisory (and to some
extent disciplinary capacity. 1t will
be just what it is called-a council,
not a new trade association. 1t can
appoint a commission to make an i'm
partial inquiry into conditions in the
various branches of the industry or
in any one particular branch, and its
reports to the public will carry a
weight which the protestations OF
reform Of any particular unit of the
Industry cannot have.
In this connection 1t may. not be
amisS to call attention to a clause In
the bylaws of the council:

from tho subcontractor to the most

At the recent fall conference OF the
