Immediately under discussion was
the situation pertaining to the use Of
natural gas in the State and broad
er distribution Of this product to the
people. Gov. Parker since his inaug-
uration has put forth every effort to
interest capital In the building OF
pipe lines to distribute the natural
gas from the Monroe fields to New
Orleans and other points. With this
in view, by his direction the Depart.
ment Of Conservation made q thor.
'oHgh survey of the situation, and Il
was clearly demonstrated that the
plan was entirely feasible and practi-
cal to pipe gas to New Orleans at a
cost which would justify the building
Of the line.
Both the Governor and the Commits
sioner are now much concerned over
the published statements recently
that a combination was being form
ed by capitalists with large holdings
IN the Monroe gas fields with the
avowed purpose Of taking gas from,
that field to Texas points, leaving
the distribution at New Orleans and
other cities of Louisiana entirely
out of the question" Commissioner
Alexander declares 1t will be the poi
ley of his department to fight any,

Unusual Winter
Building PROGRAM

}, Chicago, Nov. 15-More than the
usual amount Of winter activity in
building with residential work taking
a prominent part. is indicated in q
survey of activities made by The
American Contractor, in twenty
seven states forming the main north
eastern part Of the United States.
Valuation of the 2141 contracts
awarded for the week ending October
IS. reached total of s64,34s,400 and
was but slightly lower than the
weekly average for the first nine
months of this record breaking year,
says the publication.
THE volume of contracts awarded
during the last two weeks OF October.
which are normally dull, shows that
there Is expectation Of less let-up
than usual during the winter period"
the paper states. There are incon-
trovertible facts which show that
building activity Is in no danger of
slump for months to come.
Contemplated work reported for
the week ending October IS totaled
$100,662,900. For the corresponding
week Of 1921. this total was only
SSG,s22,00Q and the valuation Of con-
tracts awarded was only .S51, 71S.600.
Yet the fall of 1921 was considered
good opener for the spring season
of 1922.
"Of the contemplated work for that
week. S46,491,200 is for residential
building as against s12,331.900 for
business building and $7.025,300 for
industrial building. While the de-
mand for residence building has not
diminished and will not diminish for
some time, there is little business and
industrial building going on and a
period of business expansion will add
these projects to the field. In adj
dition there is much educational and
governmental building in abeyancs
which must be done soon.
Skilled labor will be scarce next
year as it is now. Indications are
that no reduction will be made in
wages Of common labor which is all
absorbed. Material men are pro-
ducing at increased costs. The de-
mand for labor and materials in the
spring will equal the supply. From
| such facts, a definite logical cOncIu-
sion regarding future building costs
can be drawn by any one.
