BUILDERS SEE
BIG YEAR

Actual construction contracts
awarded so far this year have
broken all previous records and ac-
cording to a New York authority on
building, this is destined to be the
biggest new construction year in
the history of the United States.
The peak year of 1926 has been
surpassed and increases in Certain
types of construction have ranged
from 4 to 20 per cent as compared
with the corresponding 1927 period.
Contractors predict a seven-billion
dollar year for the construction
field.
The number of contracts awaiting
award and specifications now in the
hands of architects and builders
tend to offset the seasonal slump
| that is sometimes a false indicator
of construction activity.
Few labor disputes have marred
the progress of the past few months
and the labor situation today is
most favorable for continuation of
building activity. Wages are at a
good peak and most employers are
content to allow them to remain as
such so long as the situation re-
mains in a settled state.
Building materials are showing a
slight advance in price. lumber and
paint being the lowest. These two
industries are showing a new pros
perity and the new promotion meth
DDS for these commodities is re-
sponsible to large degree for their
stability. The outlook OF the pro-
fession in general is for fairly stable
prices and continued business at a
small margin of profit.

FLOWING WELLS
DELAY WORK

Construction work on the Internal
Revenue Building at Tenth and B
Sts., has been delayed considerably
due to the discovery of artesian
wells in the excavation process.
The wells boiled up through the
bottom of the freshly poured con-
crete is such volume that it carried
the comment odt of the gravel at
the bottom of the piles to the top,
weaking the structure till the piles
were declared unsatisfactory by the
Government engineers in charge of
the project.
Plans and specifications for the
superstructure of the Internal Rev
enue Building are rapidly being COM
pleted in the office of the supervis-
ing architect of the Treasury. and are
expected to be put up for bid about
October 25. The foundation will be
completed by December !.
