Nationwide Building Revival Predicted
BY Roger w. Babson
tCopyrightei: All Rights Strictly ReservciD

Wellesley Hills. Mass. Dec. s.--There
has been much discussion OF late as to
whether the building boom has spent
itself. Roger w. Babson evidently
doesn't think II has. In commenting
today on the building outlook he called
attention to several bullish factors.
New building" says Mr.. Babson,
IS the outstanding feature cf our
business recovery. 1t Is what started
US on the road 10 better business.
Never before in the history OF the
country have so many new houses
been built as in the first ten months
of 1922. For every house that was
built in 1921. two have been built this
year. Last year In twenty seven north
eastern states of the country we spent
Sess, 900, 900 for homes; this year we
have already spent sl.099, 100000. and
when the gong rings On December
81. the total will very likely show
1000 more than i'm 1921.
This building revival is not con-
fined To house either. House build
ing has been the most spectacular,
but we have also built many more
offices. factories. schools. hospitals.
churches. amusement hall, public
roads. bridges. reservoirs. memorials.
in fact. all kinds of construction.
Whereas our normal building is about
$4,000. 600, 0oO. che end of THIS year. we
shall have built 20 the extent of $4,000
600. goo"
When asked IL he did not think that
we have already over-done this build
hoon Mr. Hanson reDlied.
III do not think so yet. | look for
continued building activity. both in
residential and business building for
the greater part OF 1928. Beyond that
time. expect a decline. \ survey just
made by the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards shows that, out
Of total of 1s4 cities scattered over
the country. 12i cities still report q
housing shortage. OF the remainini
SO cities. 50 report no shortage anC
only 10 a moderate shortage. This
study corroboratcs my opinion tina
there is still much residential buildinl
70 be done. altho the peak may hav,
been passed"
What about rents?" Mr. Babsor
was asked.
High rents have probably passe'
