LUMBER BUSINESS
IS IN GOOD SHAPE
Prices Steady-Steady De-
veIopment Without Boom
Tendencies.

The lumber business is in very
satisfactory condition at present.
with prices holding steady, o. d.
Haskell, president Of the O. d.
Haskell Lumber Company, declared
today. Haskell has been in the
lumber business for twenty-thrce
years, but he organized the O. D..

eve are maintaining about the
same building operations we had
last year, a steady development
without any boom tendencies, a
certain growth Of the city" said
Haskell.
approximately $500 new resi-
dehces are needed in indianapolis
now to take care of the annual
growth and demands. Last year l
would estimate that approximately
5000 homes were built, perhaps
more than the average.
II am optimistic about the
future development Of Indianapolis
as a city Of homes. We are building
steadily. We do not want a rush
in building. We want a steady
growth. The types Of homes we are
building Of course are varied. but
for the most part they have been OF
the so-called bungalow type and the
average cost will range from 5000
to $40 600 There are many homes
of much higher cost being built. il
is true. but there are far more OF
the $4,000 and 5000 homes being
constructed.
Building operations during the
past winter We're good and W. are
coming into spring activities with
prospects still very satisfying.
in some sections OF the country
weather conditions retarded building
operations. Unfavorable weather II
the South is said to have affected
production, but supplies have beer
adequate for the most part to take
care of demands. "
Local lumber mills are busy turn
ing out orders for immediate de
livery to be used In home con
struction work. Haskell said.
