THE BUILDING INDUSTRY
O 900 0 {

In spite of the high level of build
ing activity which has been maintain
ed for more than two years, it Is
evident that an appreciate part OF
the shortage resulting from the re-
lative inacti0n of the war period still
remains, states the current issue Of
The Guaranty Survey, published in
New York.
From time to time attempts have
been made to estimate the extent of
the shortage and the progress already
made toward its removal. These esti-
mates show considerable variance,
but in general they tend toward the
conclusion that a dearth of structures
for the country as a whole is still ap-
parent.
The greatest obstacle to an ever
rate of progress in construction ha:
been the tendency for the demand fOl
new buildings to induce a rate o.
activity beyond the capacity of the
industry, the Survey continues. Ii
the spring of 1923, for example, tn,
huge volume of contemplated con
struction placed the industry in
critical position. Both wage scale

, been rising throughout 1922. wer

cases it became impossible to max
