his activities In the temperance movement in

SPRING REVIVAL
Of BUILDING
FORECAST
Nelson, Hunt & Company Say
Many Factors Are Making
For Better Business Then

Conditions favorable to a re-
vival Of normal construction in
the United States by early spring
are revealed in a nationwide
study just completed by Nelson,
Hunt, and Company, Of Chicago.
specialists in real-estate and first
mortgage financing.
They report that available data
indicates the decline has about
reached bottom, and, during the
next few months, residential
building probably will lead in an
upward trend. It is estimated
that the construction total for
1880 will be from 10 to 20 per
cent below that Of 1929, not ex-
ceeding, $5,250,000,000 for the
country.
improvement Factors
Factors tending toward i'm
proved conditions are summarized
as follows:
Construction cost now at lowest
level since February, 1928.
Ample funds becoming avail
able for sOundly conceived pro-
jects.
Wages of building craftsmen
well established.
Building labor plentiful and ef.
ficiency high.
Definite trends toward better
and more permanent building.
Growing development Of intelIi-
gent cooperation and application
of scientific investigation among
builders which has resulted In the
elimination Of iIl-c0nsidered specu-
lative projects.
A definitely established trend
Of population toward urban
centers, emphasized by 1890
census figures, tending to. offset
temporary conditions Of over.
building through natural growth.
Conditions Stable
The building industry today,
the survey further pointed out,
presents a more stable picture
than has existed for many
months. Builders who desire to
develop welllocated properties will
find many elements working to
their advantage.
One favorable factor is that
contractors with labor-saving dc.
vices are ready to narrow down
their profits to obtain new con,
tracts in order to keep their or.
ganiZation and plants operating.
The survey stated that building
costs were more than 4 per cent
below those Of q year ago, and
about ~ per cent below the peak
reached in 1920. This was due, 1t
was explained, almost entirely to
the decline in prices Of building
material.

While this company, like every
