CONTRACTORS SOLVE
 BUILDING PROBLEMS
 OF WINTRY WEATHER

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Constructors say midwinter building has become a conquered peak. First sealed success fully after years of effort in the win ter of 1923, they report that during the present winter they will go 1923 enough better to make the conquest permanent
 The business world, watching the climbers from below, already sees the effect in an early easing of seasonal unemployment in both the building trades and the field of building supply, in relieving of the housing shortage, and in better stabilizing of the building industry as whole by dis tributing the old back-breaking sea- sonal loads over full 12-month pe- riod.
 Dwight l.. Hoopingarner, executive American, Construction Council, in de- |scribing some of the new aspects of winter construction, says:
 ''This greater stabilization has been secured by relatively simple methods. Experience has shown that work on large buildings, whether of steel, ma sorry or concrete construction, can be conducted with safety in temperatures down to 20 or 25 degrees above zero.
 After that, salamanders to provide heat, tarpaulins to keep it, and hang ing scaffolds to hold men and mate rials where they are needed, have solved the problem of keeping out the operations to go ahead in many cases at more even temperatures and great CT economy Records of contractors over periods of years have shown an average of about IA days, with scarce ly over 31 days maximum in any one year, in which the weather necessi- tated that the precautions of winter building be taken
 MT. Hoopingarner advises the build ing investing public to recognize the necessity of exercising special care in securing responsible and thoroughly skilled architects, engineers and con- tractors in the performance of winter work.
 Four per cent more contracts were let for new building in the first II months of 1924, ended Nov. 30, than in the full 12 months of 1923 i'll the ] 36 States covered by the Dodge Re ports, says MT. Hoopingarner The to- tai figure for the II months was $4,- | 100, 100000. Compared with the same II months of 1923, the increase was 13 per cent With prices in the main slightly lower than the year before he says the comparisons are conserva- tive.
 Mir. Hoopingarner finds winter ac- tiyity producing a relative increase in prices, although prices for the year as whole show a slight decrease. Pre-. vious to last year the winter demand for materials was relatively small Tt is we'll to note the fact" he observes that with a greater volume of win ter construction there will be ten. dency toward higher relative prices
