Conditions affecting construction
activities next spring will be close
ly similar in character to those
which prevailed at the opening OF
the eccentric building season OF
1923, according to indications drawn
from statements Of leading general
contractors and other observers OF
the trend OF operations. These
statements, made exclusively for the
Constructor" the publication CT the
Associated General Contractors OF
America, stripped Of localisrns, also
seem to coincide upon the thought
that owners and others will do
well to use caution next year in
timing their operations, lest a mad
market" for labor and materials,
such as threatened early this year,
be encountered and the entire situa-
ton demoralized.
The belief In some quarters, as
expressed In the statements pub.
lished in the current issue Of the
Constructor" also seems to be
that an unusual amount Of work ia
to be undertaken for completion
during the first months Of 1924.
In some sections OF the country,
where the deficiency in buildings
is especially noted, leaders are ad-
vocating that winter construction
be urged, with a softening OF
prices OF materials and Of wages
being held as inducement for this
step to be taken to avert an ex.
traordinary demand during the
months when construction most
ordinarily is placed under way.
Many OF these individual state
ments deal directly with the ques-
ton Of whether curtailment of
operations, such as was advocated
and initiated by the Associated
General Contractors OF America last
spring, be held as policy next year
to avoid runaway prices of mate
rails and costs Of labor, or whether
a relaxation, perhaps entire absence
Of action, will be more advisable.
Quotations from a number OF the
statements appearing in the Con-
structor follow:
JAMES BAIRD, George A. Fuller
Co., New Yorlk-Judging from the
permit record covering the period
OF June, July and August, there is
assurance Of the country in general
having, a large building program
for this coming year; consequently,
I look for a very serious labor
shortage again in the spring. There
is 90 much speculative work con-
templated that I do not think It
would be desirable to encourage II
too much. Personally. would pre-
fer to see a reasonable amount of
the work postponed until we are
assured Of a more ample supply of
labor and material.
H. W. BAUM, H. w. Baum Com
pany, Salt Lake City-It is our
opinion that there is not likely
to be a situation during the coming
year which will require curtailment
in any substantial form in the con-
struction activities of the inter.
mountain district.
L. C. WASON, Aberthaw Com.
pany, Boston-My forecast for the
future is that there will be slight
reduction in building costs through
the winter. due to softer spots in
the material markets and increased
labor efficiency, hut that the usual
spring activity win bring costs back
to about the present level. There.

no propaganda at the present time,

and certainly much is contemplated.
Manufacturers seem to have had
a good year, and expansion seems
to be still their desire.
w. f. AUSTIN, w. e. Wood
Company, Detroit-It would seem to
us, from our very limited knowledge
of the situation, that the safest
plan would be to advocate that for
the next six months. at least, the
building construction be confined to
those structures most urgently nee
essary. Doing this not with the
Idea that costs may be lowered after
that period, but with the thought
that unless something Of this kind
Is done costs win again reach the
point where a general let-up and
universal discrimination of con-
struction operations will be the

Dismiss Appeal
in PiscataQuis Case

The law court Thursday handed
! down rescript in the Piscataquis
county case of r. Irving Wood VS.
Arthur o. White, dismissing the ap-
! peal Of the defendant and affirming
! the decree below.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice Luere B. Deasy Of
Bar Harbor, is as follows:
| whenever one person is placed in
such relation to another that he be
comes interested for him or inter-
ested with him in any property or
business he is prohibited from &C
curing rights in that subject antag-
onistic to the person with whose in
! tereStS he has become associated. If
he acquires such legal rights and
repudiates the interest of his associ-
ate equity treats him as trustee by
construction.
The plaintiffs evidence Is to the
effect that he and the defendant, his
! father in law, were associated in. a
plan to buy a business building in
Milo. The defendant agreed to fur
nish or raise on mortgage of the
building all but a small part of the
cost, to take title in his own name,
and to hold half in trust to be con-
veyed to the plaintiff upon his pay
! ing half the consideration. The de-
PENDANT denied making any agree
ment with the plaintiff about the
property.
The single justice who heard the
case found the facts to be as claimed
by the PLAINTIFF and ruled that the
defendant holds one-half the proper
ty involved in trust for the plaintiff.
| Findings of fact by a single justice
unless manifestly erroneous are pre-
sumed by the Law Court to be cor
rect: but there is no presumption in
favor of the correctness of his con-
illusions Of law.
Held: That for want of written
evidence no enforcible express trust
appears: that the ruling cannot be
sustained on the ground that q re-
cutting trust is shown, for the plain
Tiff paid but very small part of the
consideration.
But a constructive trust Is suffi-
Gently proved. There existed be-
tween the parties a confidential or
fduciary relation as those terms are
Urtined above.
The defendant secured the advan-
taSe, which he seeks unconscien-
tiOusly to retain, by abusing the
3 trust and confidence repOsed in him
! by his son-in-law who was his bust
! ness associate.
! Appeal dismissed
! Decree below affirmed.
