MI. StfAuS sought 10 make 1T
clear that as matters now stood he
did not apprehend any great falling
off in the aggregate volume OF
building in general throughout the
country this year.
In confirmation of this fact he
pointed out that over $4,000 900 900
OF building Construction has been
carried over from 1926. that there
would be an unusual amount OF
public building and public utility
construction in 1927 and that many
lines Of private building would be
maintained at high levels.
Breathing Spell Needed
Current conditions lead me to
the conclusion that there should be
temporary breathing spell in the
construction of office buildings.
hotels, apartment hotels and apart.
ment houses throughout the United
States, Mr.. Straus declared in his
statement addressed to the building
industry of the entire country.
II am convinced of the advisable.
ity OF this course In order that the
supply of accommodations of these
types may not become abnormally
in excess of demand. A six months
to a years period of extreme eau.
ton and conservatism would be suf.
ficfent to maintain a normal condi.
ton of supply and demand.
This does not mean, of course.
that there may not be isolated cases
in one city or another where a
legitimate demand for hotels. office
buildings. apartment houses or
apartment hotels exists. There will.
in fact, be new projects started here
and there in keeping with good
business Judgment. What I refer
to is the situation only in it's broad
and general aspects.
No Drop Seen
II wish to make 1t plain that l
do not look for any radical drop in
the volume Of building in the coun.
try during 1927, and the general
business interests Of the nation need
feel no apprehension on this point.
There has been at least 50 200, 600.
600 worth of private building car
ried over from 1926.
There also is an unusual amount
of public building scheduled for this
year In addition to q considerable
volume OF expenditure on power
plants and other types Of constr0c.
ton by public utility corporations.
Approximately 81, 000, 000. 900 worth

issued in the last six months in the

WOOD REDUCES
FIRE HAZARD

The buildings being erected by
First National Pictures. Inc. In the
construction or First National city
at Bnrbank, Cal. sustain the state
ment often made by firemen and
fire Il1arshals that under certain
conditions wood construction Is
actually more fire resistant than
STEEL
More than 100 carloads OF Doug
las fir were used In the construc.
ton Of this industrial city Of the
movies, and while wood was gen.
orally used for frames 'the most
spectacular and interesting use Of
this wood. according to the Four
4 Lumber News, was the building
Of large trusses supporting the roofs
Of four stages where future plays
viii be made"
Wooden trusses were decided on,
according to one OF the First Ma.
tional officials, chiefly because they
were expected, to reduce the fire
hazard These Douglas fir trusses,|
he stated, in case Of fire would
hold their position hours after those
which were of iron or steel had
fallen to the. floor, permitting
the roof of each structure to slide In
after them. The danger from fire
on q moving picture stage cannot
be overemphasized..
Sometimes there are thousands Ct
persons on one stage and should a.
conflagaration result from faulty
wiring, an explosion, or something
else Of similar nature. the possible
danger must be reduced to q mini.
mum. The trusses must remain in
their regular positions until human.

as the public at times has been led
to believe.
The pre.war volume Of construc.

ing Into consideration, the greatly
reduced value Of the building dollar
the increase In population and the
higher standards OF living, Il Il not
unlikely that q new normal Of build.
ing volume at this time would ap.

With particular reference to New
York city. Mr.. Straus said;
1.-THE note OF caution which / have
uttered while intended for the
whole country. should apply with
specin' emphasis in New York city,
where building has been carried on
along high levels for a number Of
years.
Both in 1926 and In 1926 more
than $1,00O.000. 900 worth Of build,
ing was done in the five boroughs
of about one-sixth the total amount
OF the country's construction.
There has been, during each OF
these years, about $260,000. 900 Of
work done In the metropolitan sec.
tlOu OutStuS LuS CITY LlAlllbs AGAINST
this unprecedented amount Of
building there has been very
heavy demand due to a number OF
causes.
Wise To Halt Now
Rental surveys that recently
have been made by the survey de-
partment of s. w. Straus & Co.
along Park, Madison, Fifth and
West End Avenues and intersecting
streets and in the principal office
building districts OF the city, indi.
cate that the present percentage OF
vacancies is not abnormal.
However. owing to he amoant Of
new space which will be coming on
the market in these sections during
the year 1927, 1t would be the part
OF wisdom not to increase the sup

500 principal cities ana towns Il
the country. There is every indica-
ton that there win be no let.up
OF consequence in private home
building Of the investment type,
which is form Of thrift and pro.
gress that should under no circum
stances be curtailed,
My conclusions with regard 20
official buildings, hotels. apartment
houses and apartment hotels have
been reached from studies showing
that after five years Of very heavy
building. we have reached the
saturation point in these four types
of structures.
Absorption Predicted
OF course, all now buildings must
be allowed reasonable time in
which to become established and in
any case an occupancy of 80 per
cent Is considered normal. The
market will be able to absorb the
rentable space in the buildings now
completed in process of construc-
ton.
It would. however, not be advis-
able to continue bringing out new
projects Of the types have desig-
mated until the supply now on the
market and in process OF construc.
ton has been more thoroughly
absorbed"
With regard to the general build.
ing situation. Mr.. Straus said:
In the building operations of the
last five years the speculative fac
tor has played an important part.
The average amount Of building In
the country during that time has
been more than $4,000 ,000. 900 a year.
A considerable proportion Of this
has been speculative in character.
/ am not saying this in condemna-
ton of this kind of building for 1t
has played an important part In
the building up of our cities and in
relieving the housing shortage fol.
lowing the war.
From now on, however. feel
that there should be no further
projects contemplated except in re-
Spouse to a definite ascertained de-
mand.
Demand Met
For the most part. the volume
Of building Of the last half-decade
was in response to a sound and
rightful demand and has conse-
quently been well absorbed. The
housing shortage after the war had
to be made up. Moreover the de.
velopment Of good roads. the grow.
ing popularity Of the automobile and
the rapid advancement in American
standards of living have all been
reflected in heavier building de.
mands both urban and rural.
Obsolescent structures have had
to give way to the march Of prog.
ress and every city and town Of
consequence in the country has ex-
perienced a much-needed wave of
rebuilding. Never before has there
been such development in suburban
communitis. All Of these activities
have proved substantial factor in
maintaining the general prosperity
of the country.
II do not anticipate any change
OF consequence in rental conditions
during the year. If the volume OF
construction of apartments and of.
flee buildings were to continue. par.
ticularly as they have in the last
two or three years. we would In
time have an over-supply which
would bring about lower rents. but
in my opinion supply and demand
conditions viii be so adjusted that
the rental situation will remain In
its present. stabilized conditions.
Increase Normal
ut should be borne in mind that
while the amount Of building in
the United States since the war has
been very large in terms Of dollars,
it has not been as far out of line
