DELAYS IN PLANS
HINDER BUILDING
Architects Institute Holds
Unemployment Relief Is
Hampered by Impasse.

Unemployment relief is being hin
dered throughout the country by lack of
plans for public buildings, it is declared
in statement by the Board of Direc-
: tors of the American Institute of
Architects.
"One difficulty in the present situa-
ton" the statement says lis that aris-
ing from the absence of plans for many
of the projects for which appropria-
tons have been made. Endless millions
of dollars are available for Federal
State, county and municipal enterprises,
but for many building projects there
are no plans and specifications. They
should be promptly taken in hand, and
the architects of the country can surely
be Of assistance in getting them started.
Must Speed Programs.
1.-THE unemployment problem is a Sc
rious one in all parts of the country.
An excellent committee, meeting in
Washington under the craftsmanship of
Col. Arthur Woods, is trying to find
ways to meet the emergency. One of
its recommendations is that we must
speed up the public works programs OF
cities, States and the Federal Govern
A ment. We can help in that direction
but in other ways as well.
why not take advantage of the low
1LtIc dIC AlOoRlAdLS,
schools and other institutions which
need new buildings or rebuilding or al
teration. Private residential work and
housing of other kinds are much needed
in certain parts of the country. For all
such work the present time is most
propitious. 1t is variously estimated
that costs are down from IL per cent to
10 per cent on ordinary construction
from the high of 1929. and in certain
IpartS OF the country on some types OF
work the cost is down 20 per cent
Many Act Promptly.
1--WE have heard of a number of cor
porations that have acted promptly on
this situation. An important educa-
tional institution in the Middle West Is
starting its building program, paying
Interest on borrowed money Gin advance
by two years on the proceeds OF bond
issue) because the interest charges OF
this borrowed money will be more than
met by the saving in building costs.
And this institution will have the use of
its new buildings two years sooner to
boot
"The Federal Government realizes
that the situation needs prompt action
for many reasons. But in the t1eld OF
institutional and private building, too,
the public has not realized its oppor-
tunities and its obligations to advance
a promptly all construction work so as to
increase general employment"
