BUILDING RATE HIGHER
HERE THAN U. S. AVERAGE
Careful Planning Helps Reduce
Costs-Houses Being Built
Somewhat Smaller.

Building is going on at about twice
the rate Of last year, over the United
States; but. according to estimates of
contractors, Columbia is building at
much higher rate than that. Nor is the
building confined to any favored part of
town; it is distributed all over the city.
Building prices are much lower than they
have been since pre-war days. and ap-
pear TO have reached the point where
they may be expected to remain some
what stable, for few years at least.
Builders have noted a strong tendency
to cut down costs. Not only is this done
by reducing waste. but more noiiceably
by careful planning. Brick and stone is
falling out Of favor because of lis great
er cost. Most people are guided by the
original cost. Houses are being built
smaller than they were few years ago.
This decrease in their size is somewhat
compensated for by more careful uiili-
zation of space. Every nook is being
used to the greatest advantage. Corridors
are smaller than before, or are eliminated
entirely.
In style, there seems to be no definite
tendency. unless it the increased impor-
lance Of the first floor. Many houses are
being built only one story high. in all
styles from bungalow to non.bungalow
The uniformity of Main street is giving
way to individualism. something diff
erent.' In only one thing do most
home-builders agree; they are turning
from the old wood shingle to the asphalt
shingle.
