Outlines Important Factors A Regards Labor
And Materials.

In outlining the subject OF

real estate class at the Y. N. c. A.
this week J. 8. Gruver. local build
er. stated that while the ,local
building program had met the de-
mand for . certain type Of house
there was stili distinct demand
for the production Of small invest
ment properties which he thought
would result in operations of this
character being started in the near
future.
The building business, It was
pointed out, offers the same oppor-
tunities as all other. lines Of busi-
pess for the developmsnt of high
type men and there are many prin-
ciples Of an ethical character that
should be observed by the consci-
entious builder. In the Develop
ment of new buildings the builder
should endeavor to respect the

foundation to proper roofing
met thods.
Referring 70 the question of
building on so-calied filled ground.
Mr.. Gruyer stated that many build
ings IN all parts OF washington
have been constructed satisfac-
torily on hlied ground. The sue
cess of such operations depends
largely on the character of the fill-
ing and the methods used in secur-
ing the proper footings. 1t Is pos
sible. with the assistance of the
technical experts of the Municipal
building department, to accurately
determine the size and character OF
footings to properly support walls
that are built on filled ground.
A very important feature of
building operations 10 the question
Of financing. and Mr.. Gruver called
attention to the fact that in plac-
ing the first mortgage on new
houses the amount should be such
that would reasonably insure at
least one extension at the expira-
tion Of the initial three-year period.
This Is highly desirable from the
standpoint of the purchaser for the
reason that the average second
trust covering the balance of the
deferred purchase price does not
pay out during the first three years
and an extension Of the first trust
for an additional three years gives
the purchaser an opportunity to
complete the payments on a second
trust before being compelled to
curtail the first trust.
