BUILDING PRICE GAUGED
BY SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Cost of Production Not Only Basis,
but Is Considered Among
Leading Factors.

The determination of the price of a
building is not primarily based on the
cost Of producing 1t, although such cost
must be considered. according to a
statement of the Economic Research
Bureau.
This is a matter which lies within
the workings of the law Of supply and
demand, says the bureau. This law as
applied to building operations is based
upon rental demand. From true
weighing of this factor can be de-
termined the value of property to a
buyer who is to treat 1t as an invest
ment.
I'm investigating the safety Of a
mortgage investment on completed

Of the earnings is of the greatest i'm
portance. Thus it becomes necessary
continually to make accurate surveys
not only of the amount of occupancy in
all localities where mortgage issues are
secured, but of general conditions as
we'll.
In investigating construction

necessary to figure costs very closely
in order that they may determine the
exact amount which the owner is to

in such cases to know exactly, day by

terial prices and how large a percent

HOOVER MOVES
WIN OLD FOES
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

PALO ALTO, Cal, July I'll
Taking a lesson from a previous
Republican nominee for President
as his first political move since
getting here, Herbert Hoover has
issued invitations to Gov. c. e
Young, Senator Hiram w. Johnson
and Senator Samuel M. Shortridge
to visit him at his home.
The trio of California Republican
leaders, all having separate follow
ings, have pledged their support to
Hoover. but the nominee ap-
parently planned to win their per-
sonal goodwill as well.
This was in sharp contrast TO
the attitude of Charles Evans
Hughes, the Republican nominee In
1915, who stopped at the Senate
Hotel with Johnson during thar
campaign without communicating
with the then governor of can
fornia. This political oversight
aroused .Iohnson's enmity ana
when California went Democratic

his margin of victory, many poIlt1'

feat on Hughes faux pas.
