RADICAL BUILDING
REFORM FORECAST
Study of Construction De-
veIops Losses Under Lien
Laws, Is Claim.

Radical reforms within the con.
struction industry are being foreseen
as the result Of an intensive study
just completed through the organized
efforts of leading builders throughout
the country. This study. conducted
under the auspices Of the Associated
General Contractors of America, is
said to have developed definite proof
that lien laws now in force and exist
ing surety bonding conditions have
played leading parts in causing large
losses to the building public during
recent years. Unethical practices,
diversity Of contract stipulations and
speculative building are among the
other subjects given direct attention
during the past year.
Recommendations Made.
Concise reports, containing definite
recommendations for future proce-
dure, and having the recently con-
cluded Investigations as their basis,
are to be presented at a conference to
be held by the contractors at Port.
land. Greg, January 10 to23.
The marked inquiry into construc-
ton operating methods at this time
is said to be occasioned by realization
that destructive influences have been
allowed to grow in the construction
industry for years. with small effort
to curb them being made.
The Portland conference, which
will be coincident with the annual
meeting of the contractors national
organization. will be attended by rep
resentatives of the industry operating
in virtually every important con
struction center in the country. A
special train. with an itinerary open
ing at Chicago. will pick up hundreds
of builders on it's way through the
West and Midwest to Portland
Stops will be made at Kansas CITY,
Colorado Springs, Salt Lake CITY, os'
den and intermediate points.

statement Tuesday of r. L. Cary,

is furnished and arranged similar to
many of our offices in California anc
follows the same general STYLE" ne
added.
The new office was occupied by
the Western Union December 10. The
total cost of rearranging the build
ing and moving the office was about
$4,000. Commenting on the expense
and reasons for moving, Cary stated:
"The company was glad to make thu
move to the new location because
it has implicit confidence in the flu,
/ ture of Douglas.
"The people in Douglas may not
think that the dity is going forward
1ut the records of our office here
I especially since j. l.. uckley has
1 been in charge as local manager
show otherwise. Our business here
has shown a steady, consistent In,
| crease, and we feel that the money
! spent in making the change to tn,
new office is indeed well invested.
