high prices It is a market which
spells opportunity to make profits on
volume of business rather than large
profits on small business. The action
of manufacturers, labor, finance and
other factors which control building
costs during the year 1923 will have
much to do with the permanent pros
perity of our industry. If a short
sighted policy is adopted involving
the forcing Of high costs because OF
demand, prospective owners of build
ings of every type will find practical
reasons for putting off construction
and the element of financing will be-
come discouraged even as 1T was
encouraged during the period of de-
clining costs late in 1921 and early in
1922
The first great waves OF specula-
tive building and construction OF the
cheaper type have passed, and 1923
will be remembered as year in
which great volume of good build
ing construction was produced. 1t
is evident that residential construc-
ton Will continue in volume almost
equal to that Of 1922 with greater
activity in the more expensive types
of dwellings and probably in the hotel
field.
Industrial construction shows up
with surprising strength and the fact
that this work is reported by archi-
tects indicates that a large proper
tion of the volume OF industrial con-
struction for next year will be of a
permanent, well designed character.
Much of this construction represents
plant expansion by well established
manufacturing concerns. together
with the establishment OF new in
dustries Of substantial character.
All evidence points to the fact that
there will be available an ample
amount of financing for this great
| volume of pro5ected building con-
struction.
The problem of labor conditions is
one on which no forecast can be made.
but it is quite probable that 1928
will show a fairly good spirit OF CO.
operation between employers and
labor in the building industries.
Labor leaders are becoming more
farsighted and in certain OF the
trades there is a growing interest
| In the apprentice problem. and the
Idea of admitting a larger proper
| tion of ne wmen into the ranks. Ger,
| tain reactions are felt as the enforced

Data compiled by the Architectural
Forum from reports by Washington
architects of building projects, which
they have been engaged to plan dis
close that construction work now ac-
tually in sight for 1928 will total in
cost s3l,3G0.000.
The fact that this estimate Is based
on work already placed with local
architects. not taking into account
large operations that undoubtedly
will be launched later in the year.
serves to corroborate prediction by
municipal authorities and builders
that the District of Columbia will
eclipse all previous building records
this year.
The information supplied by the
architects specifies the kind. number

senting an interesting program. Here

Structural Steel Advances.
During the month structural steel
has shown a marked advance in price
while other important building mate
rials practically all show indications
of rapid approaching advances. The
market. as In January, remained firm
with many materials. according to
stocks in the hands of dealers. ac--
tivity of local building operations and
the outlook as regards production ana
transportation facilities.
The demand for lumber as well as
for many other basic building mate
rials now exceeds production. This
condition is in spite of increased
schedules of production of 1922. II
building operations continue at the
present rate and the demand for ma
terial increases proportionately. an
inevitable increase of prices generally
is looked for.
The labor situation is not alarming
in any particular. but in certain To-
calities it is growing more and more
acute, as the demand. for workmen
holds strong or increases. The tend
ency of wages for the country at
large is upward. Builders in numer-
Gus cities are figuring on a probable
increase of wages in nearly all trades

activity in building. according to
comprehensive national survey con-
Quoted by the Forum.
The survey for 1923 is based on re-
ports received from 1857 architects,
with a division into seventeen build
ing classifications.
The total value of new building pre-
dicted for 1929 is s5.116,544,0O This
Is an approximation OF the total VOL
ume Of building construction which
may be expected in 1923, divided into
seventeen building classifications and
with six geogra phical divisions of the
United States. The figures were ar
rived at by taking the actual reports
and multiplying these totals by the
index figure Of 81. This index figure
has been arrived at by a compari son
Of the reporting offices with all archi-
tectural Offices as to-volume and clas-
sification of work from data maintain
ed on each architectural office in the
country and filed in the Architects
Registry, which is kept in the office
OF the Architectural Forum. This in
| formation. together with compar ative
! percentages Of construction work not
| controlled by architects as indicated,
| and the assumption Of the index figure
81 exactly as we assumed the index
| figures for total valuations in the
survey OF 1922. has been proved rea-
| sonably accurate by actual construc-
tion figures.
| Costs Moving Downward.
While it Is true that the cost of
building has advanced considerably
within the past few months. it is an
| ticipated that this Is but wave in
the general downward course of
building costs and that with renewed
/ production activity and with relief
from the rail and coal situation the
cost of building should be on a down
ward trend again in the spring of
| 1929. 1t is highly important that all
| construction interests realize that the
building market for 1923 Is a mark ct
| which must not be discouraged by

NEW YORK, March 10.--Roger w.
Babson is now on his annual trip
Of inspection. With some 10000 miles
of travelling he will study conditions
in twenty-six leading centers of the
United States. His report, divided into
eight sections. presents an unusually
valuable picture of current business
conditions. Section two, which is is
sued today, treats Of New York, Pepn-
