Early Spring Building Boom Is Indicated

According to census reports the
number of home owners in the United
States is rapidly increasing as well as
the percentage Of renters, and real
estate men, architects, home-builders
and contractors are finding comfort IN
predictions of a great building boom
this spring. According to figures
gathered BY S. w. Strauss and Co.,
New York, and held to be fairly
accurate, the staggering siIm of
s3828,000,000 was spent or mi&dS
available for the construction OF new
buildings In this country during 1922
This is almost a billion dollars more
than ever reported before in the history
of American building construction.
The indications are that the year 1928
win by far eclipse 1922.
An unusual feature of the building
program last year was that instead of
the usual let up during October,
November and December, those months
found more buildings planned and in
actual construction than during many
Of the normally busy months in pre-
ceding years.
A survey shows that manufacturers
and supply dealers are planning for a
record year in 1928.
Finds More Home Owners
Some time ago a writer IN the
Review of Reviews called attention to
She fact that the last census of the
! United States showed that the number
of home renters increased more than
two per cent, from 1910 to 1920. He
pointed out, however, that the number
Of home owners had also increased.
In a survey of conditions in fifty of
de sixty-eight leading cities Of
America he found many more home
owners in 1920 than in 1910
While substantial increases were
made in many cities like St. Paul, Bal
eimore. Seattle, Omaha, Toledo, Grand
Rapids and Des Moines, the increase in
dc number of home owners in New

I GENTLY resilient to absorb the shock OF
heavy traffic impact and to MAINTAIN
contact with the subsoil.
The first asphaItic concrete pavement
IN the East was laid with varying dc.
grees of success on streets in Washing
ton. Pittsburgh, Newark and Buffalo.
Chicago, Omaha and Denver later found
II suitable to their wants. Chief En-
glneer Clifford Pinckney Of Manhattan
Borough. New York City, now uses as
phaltIc concrete on Fifth Avenue, the
finest and most heavily travelled thor
oughfare IN the world and a street
traversed by $4,000 vehicles daily. The
New York City engineer also uses as
phaltic concrete for replacing street cuts
as the type is especially adaptable to
replacement because of its ready binding
with the surrounding pavement and be-
cause it enables the engineers to ex.
pedite their work and keep the street
open to traffic.
The base. or foundation, of asphaltic
concrete streets and country roads-for
the type is now IN use in rural districts
is constructed of broken stone, gravel
and asphalt heavily rolled and CONF
pacted to a thickness of from 3 to a
inches. The surface may be of asphaltic
concrete with a somewhat finer aggre-
gate. or of sheet asphalt, and having
total thickness of ~ to 2 inches. Be
cause of its, resiliency under traffic, its
elasticity under temperature changes,
the protection from water and frost that
it affords the subsoil, its adaptabiilty to
any type of subgrade and to any eli
matte condition and its record of long
service at low cost. more than eleven
million square yards of asphaltic concrete
pavement are now in use on the Pacific

York City, city of apartment jewellers,

One of the unusual features in con-
nection with the homes planned for
1928, is the demand for measures that
will safeguard both the property and
the lives of the occupants. Architects
report an extraordinary demand this
year among prospective home builders
for fire resistant and storm resistant
materials. Particularly is the demand
very heavy for asphalt shingles and
roll roofngs, brick and tile. Municipal
building codes, which demand fire.
proof construction, are in a measure
responsible for the increased demand
for the fire resistant asphalt shingles.
The number of cities adopting codes of
this character is constantly increasing
