WINTER BUILDING
At RECORD MARK
Effort to Cut Added Costs in
Cold Weather Is Prov
ing Successful.
Special Dispatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 27.-The
present winter has witnessed record
breaking activity in the construction
industry. says the National Bank of
Commerce in the March issue of Com
merce Monthly. Continuing, the bank
says:
Contracts Make Record.
THE value of contracts let since
October has been considerably larger
than during the same season of any
previous year. For some time con-
tractors and architects have been
carrying on an active campaign to
overcome the belief on the part of
many builders and investors that
building during the winter is much
more costly than building during
other seasons of the year. While the
need of protection for concrete,
masonry. etc, and expenditures for
the comfort. Of the men on the job
add something to the cost. this in
crease is more than offset by savings
resulting from less difficulty in secur-
ing labor, and consequently smaller
expenditures for overtime and
bonuses. saving of interest on the
by speeding it's completion, and fire.
quently from lower prices for ma
| terials and better material deliveries.
Moreover in those cities where May
l is an important renting date. winter
building may make possible the COM
pletion of the work so that leases can
be made from that date.
Healthy Sign In Building.
'1n so far as the large volume of
building during this winter repre-
sents trend toward spreading out
the years building over all twelve
months of the year in place of the
decidedly seasonal tendency Of for
mer years il is healthy sign. One
of the biggest arguments Of build
ing workers in every demand for
higher wages is the extremely sea-
sonal character of the industry re-
Sulting in long periods of unemploy-
ment. If this can be done away with
even in part a long step will have
been taken toward wage stability.
The same thing will be true Of the
prices Of building materials.
Price Advances Dnngerous
"On the other hand. the unusual
terial manufacturers and dealers
from accommodating stocks as they
have been accustomed to do during
the slack season. If construction
activity should follow it's customary
seasonal tendency and expand rapidly
in the spring as it usually does at
that season of the year Il is probable
that building materials will be bid
up to levels which will increase
building costs considerably. The re-
suit would be another sharp falling
off in building such as took place in
the late spring OF last year.

IN DETROIT OPPOSED
I. C. C. Investigators Find No Need
of Belt Line Railroad
Expansion.

Examiners of the Interstate Com
'mcrce Commission today recommend
I'd that the Detroit Grand Belt Rail-
road Company and the Detroit Con-
Meeting railroad be denied authority
10 construct two new lines in the
Detroit terminal area. The report of
the examiners still is to be passed on
ty the commission itself.
The Grand Belt sought authority to
build line forty-seven miles long
through Wayne and Oakland counties
and costing $5,000,000, and the Detroit
connecting railroad applied for au-
thority to build a line eighty-six miles
long through Wayne. Oakland and
st. Clair counties, costing s7.35O,0O0.
The examiners held that there ap-
peared no reason why the properties
proposed should be developed, that
the Grand Belt promoters were not
sufficiently informed as to construc-
tion requirements, and that the finan-
cial plan proposed by the Connecting
railroad was found Objectionable.

One of these was in Silica Gel

The possibility of shortages in
