7olly to Wait
Longer for Drop
I'm Mortgage Rate
Improving Busir ess Condi-
tons Likely to Employ
Available Funds, Which
W oul d Stiffen Charge
By Edwin G. Benedict
Charles F. NOyes COMPANY

With the ever-increasing flow OF
money to this center, due to the defa-
lion of wartime high prices and the ur-
certainty of manufacturers and mer-
chants as to the demand for goods,
thereby lessening their money require
ments, mortgage interest rates have
shown very decided tendency toward
lower levels. At present the interest,"
rate for prime mortgage loans in Man
haitian and the Bronx is 51a per cent;
in the outlying districts Of the Bronx
and Brooklyn the rate is 6 per cent; on
centrally located properties with large
land value where very conservative
loans are sought there is a supply of
5 per cent money. 1t is, however, my
opinion that those who are looking for
disappointed.
l think that we are more likely to see
the rates stiffen as the demand for
money increases with fall trade activi-
ties, crop moving, etc. The Federal
Reserve Bank law operates just as er-
fectively in O market where there is
too much money for Our good as it
does where there is not enough to 60
around. If you read the Federal Re-
serve Bank figures you will note the
tremendous curtailment of currency
which has occurred in the last eighteen
months, and which is continuing. The
retirement Of the great flood Of money
which was necessary during the war
period and the time Of imitation follow
ing is just as much of menace when
there is no great necessitr rs g No>.-
ing too little money in stringent times
and the power of the banking authori
ties to issue or retire currency at will
must necessarily stabilize rates.
Borrowers who read in the daily pa
pers notices of bond offerinos of nrom-
inent states and municipalities at as
low as ~ per cent and who note the
First Liberty Loan bond, which at one
time sold on about Alto basis, is now
selling at $40 basis or lower should
realize that this type of investment Is
income tax exempt and has little or no
relation to income received on nloYt-
cages. Those borrowers who are look
ing for a low rate Of interest should
in my opinion get rnder. cover without
delay, as the ccr' ty of a great re-
vlval In manufH ng and other in
dustries will st. money rates all
along the line. The last year, and
especially the current year, has seen
the greatest business in placing reel
estate mortgage loans that brokers
shave ever experienced. Whether this
is to continue without abatement Is
more than can say, but the prospects
for good business for the remainder OF
the year seem excellent.

Carpenters Bad
Boys of Home
Building Industry
Refuse To Be Disciplined
by National Board for
Wrongdoing; Conduct Has
Reached Crave Condition

Carpenters are the great trouble
makers in the building industry. They
have been real bad boys and have seri-
ously disturbed the peace Of the build
ing industry Of the country, according
to Rudolph P. Miller, former Superin-
tendent Of Building of Manhattan, in
an address before the Engineers So
| ciety. of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr.. Miller is a member Of the Ma
tional Board for Jurisdictional Awards
in the Building industry, representing
| the American Engineering Council of
the Federated American Engineering
Societies. He told the engineers that
! jurisdictonal strikes, which had al
ready cost the nation millions of dol
lars and hampered it's commercial
efforts, constitute serious menace to
the building industry. Mr.. .Miller's talk
! was intended to bring strongly before
the engineers the seriousness of the
situation and the need of absolute CO.
operating with the jurisdictional board.
Carpenters Will Not Obey
Generally, the decisions of the board
have been we'll observed and supported
by ~ organizations Interested" said
Mr.. Miller. "Only one serious defec-
ton has taken place. The carpenters
union has refused to abide by certain
decisions which went against it and has
withdrawn from the Building Trades
Department, thus removing itself from
any disciplinary measures that the
Building Trades Department could take.
The carpenters union, on account
of its large membership and for that
! 10 inf
able to win over certain contractors to
les own view, with the result that these
contractors have refused to abide by
the decisions of the board. Some of the
contractors who were formerly mem
| bers. of the Associated General Con-
| tractors of America, have withdrawn
from that organization in order to
avoid the onus that will naturally at
tach to refusal to abide by policy
Endorsed by the organization.
| ION the other hand, the support of
the jurisdlctional board in other quar-
ters has been Gratifying. Another union
| at one time expressed extreme dissatis-
| faction with a decision that was rem
| dered by the board and threatened to
| disregard the decision, but after recon
sidering the matter, Joined with the
other sixteen of the seventeen unions
| Of the building trades in a whole.
| hearted support of the jurisdictional
board"
Mr.. Miller urged architects and engi-
neers to give more whole-hearted sup
| port to the board, which was organized
fo-r years a"o as the result of con-
ferences among representatives of the
.@luer.can Institute of Architects anc
the Federated American Engineering
| Societies, the contractors organiza.
tions and the Building Trades Depart.
rnent Of the American Federation 81
Labor.
/ Mr.. Miller wants architects and engi-
neers to insert in all specifications and
contracts for building operations a
