|SEVEN ESSENTIALS
| NEEDEDBY BUILDER
Contractor Gives Advice on
Many Details to
Laymen.

Years of study are required for a
single layman to gain even a fairly
good working knowledge of the null
titudinous details involved in the av-
erage building operation, according
to Noble Foster Hoggson, the New
York contractor.
To gain this knowledge would
necessitate the study of architecture.
not only in this country, but abroad,
and for a sufficient length of time
to become expert in the fullest, trueSt
sense of the word. he declares. This
would include the exhaustive study
of interiors OF every description and
! their relationship to the surrounding
conditions, so essential to insure the
proper arrangement of interior space
and the necessary conveniences. Also
knowledge of color. woods, fabric.
rugs. leather. moSaics. tile. marble.
bronze. loaded glass and all the de-
tails that enter into the decoration
and furnishing of a well appointed
building. would be necessary.
"Mastery OF Mechanics.''
directed efficiently, so as to insure
uninterrupted progress. thorough
mastery of mechanics would be re-
quired. Mr.. Hoggson states. Above
all, perhaps, it would be necessary
that he have a practical executive
knowledge of costs in every particu-
lar, so that he would know beyond
doubt that he was receiving value
for every dollar he was spending.
Nov, it is admitted that the av-
erage man has not all of this de-
tailed information. nor is it neces-
sary for him to acquire that knowl-
edge" the contractor asserts There
are. however. several important points
which every prospective building
owner should be fully informed upon.
These can, perhaps, be grouped into
, the following seven essentials which
every owner should be fully satisfied
regarding before proceeding with
construction and which will also
serve as an excellent basis for re-
view Of the completed operation: -

Complete Plans Filed
THE complete set of plans. details
and specifications, including the
structural, heating and lighting. lay,
outs. etc. are then filed with the
building department.. and are passed
on in that office by the experts in
their respective departments and are
finally approved and a permit issued
by the building inspector when all
changes required by his office have
been complied with. The construc-
tion of the building is then ready to
be proceeded with. AS the building
progresses the architect makes larger
scale drawings and full-size details
OF the several portions Of the build
ing requiring more elaboration.
These are turned y|er to the builder,
who, in turn, turns them over to the
several subcontractors. During the
entire construction of the building it
is the duty of the architect to have
his superintendent see that the plans
ana specifications are carried out
and to give such personal supervision
as is necessary to see that his super
intendent is properly conducting the
work. In addition to this, the sew
eral engineers whose designs have
been approved are required to super
intend and pass on their work. and
, II they find the work is not being
carried out in accordance with their
layouts and to their entire satisfac-
ton they are required to report same
to the architect. who. in turn, noti-
fies the contractor. The building de-
partment Of the District of Columbia

BUILDING |S.SEEN
DUE FOR BIG BOOM
Interests Announce ''Unmis-
taxable Evidence of Healthy
Industrial Development"

Declaring that the crisis of recon-
struction took place last year, build
ing interests are predicting the start
this year of a new decade, "a new
building epoch"
A statement issued by the Aladdin
Company reads:
"This optimism is solidly grounded.
We find unmistakable signs of
healthy industrial development on
every side.
THE furnaces Of the great steel
mills again glow. thousands of men
in those vast organizations are in
dustriously laboring to turn forth
orders for tons and tons of their
product.
THE railroads are among the larg-
est purchasers of material in the
country: for several years their buy
ing has been nil. But this condition
has changed, as their recent orders
placed for s50.000.00O worth of new
construction material indicates.
Halted Work Resumed.
"One of our greatest industrial
concerns had about half completed
world when the period of depression
arrived. This great project calling
for the expenditure of millions of
dollars was suspended. Today this
huge piece of work is going forward
to completion.
The reports made by the United
States Department of Labor from
studies made in sixty-five industrial
centers. giving employment to the
greatest numbers of workers in the
country, shows that the firms in
these centerS have on their pay roll
SC19 more men the end of No.
rember. 1921. than they employed
thirty days previously. or on October
81 of the same year.
"A review of conditions in the lum-
Der. iron, steel. paper, printing. tex
tile and automobile manufacturers
shows that these lines have added to
their forces during this period.
THE report made to Herbert Hoo
yer, Secretary of Commerce. calls for
an expenditure of $4,000, 100000 to
eliminate the housing shortage men,
ace in the United States.
Aggressive Energy Shown.
THE building records made last
year show aggressive energy in solv-
ing this problem.
This country is short 100000
homes. a sufficient waiting market to
ming night and day for years to
comet
Depend upon it, these millions of
people are just as eager for the COM
fort and security of a home as you
are.
big business has started to move
Orders are being placed. More men
are being employed. The thrill of
activity is going to reach into the
home building field quicker and more
deeply than in any other line. Be-
cause people must have homes"
