ANAL LYS|S REVEALS
Low BU||LD|NGCOST
All Large Construction Types
Are 10 Per Cent Under
Decade Peak Figures.

Construction costs on large build
ings are only 31a pek cent above the
lowest point for the last decade and
on monumental type buildings and /
per cent below the lowest point, ac-
cording to a detailed analysis made
public In a statement today by Lou r.
Crandall president Of the George A.
Fuller Co.
AS compared with the peak figures
for the decade, costs on all types of
large buildings show a decline of 10
per cent and q decline Of IA per cent
on monumental types, according to the
statement, which concludes with the
prediction that building costs have
about scraped bottom.
"At no time within the last decade,
except for q short period during the
slack Winter of l921-1922. has the
status of the building industry, from
the point Of costs, rapidity of manu-
facture, transportation and general eff
ficiency, presented greater opportuni-
ties to owners having projects under
contemplation for immediate execu-
ton, than exists at the present time, !"
Crandall states.
"a recent composite analysis of av-
erage costs in three different types Of
buildings factory, hotel and loft--in-
dicates that on November / building
costs were only 31z per cent over the
average cost as of September is, 1922,
and were 10 per cent under the high
peak of the last decade, which was
reached on July l, 1926. September is
represents the average composite cost
for the depression Of 1921 and 1922.
Figures now indicate that for the
special service or monumental type of
building, represented by banks, thea.
ters, hospitals, churches and similar
educational and institutional buildings,
there has been since January / Of this
year Az per cent greater decline in
costs, bringing the figure to point
per cent below the average composite
building cost Of September Is, 1922,
and II per cent below the high peak
OF July l, 1925, for the same composite
figure
This is the loCwll operation of the
law of supply and demand. As the
construction market shrinks industries
like steel, cement and brick, plumbing
and heating, producing for q general
demand, necessarily suffer less than
those producing for more specialized
demands, such as ornamental iron and
bic and ornamental plasters, and the
latter. the speciality producers. must
necessarily make greater price conceS-
sions to get business.
'sThe economic advantages that are
to be gained by placing contracts for
the construction of a building at the
present time, or. at least, in the inn
mediate future, are therefore more
pronounced In the case Of these spe!
cial purpose or monumental build
ings. where expensive materials and
workmanship are-required for both in
torior and exterior decoration, than in
the case Of the more conventional large
structures, such as loft, ONCE, apart
ment and general factory buildings"

such rehabilitation OF a 'blighted
district converts a municipal liability
into a municipal asset. It reduces fire

city and its public utilities; # makes
important saving possible to the indi-
vidual family by bringing population
nearer the center; it improves the traf-
flc situation; it raises the value of ad-

month ago. No definite clews point ing to possible motives for voluntary disappearance or to foul play have been uncovered.
 Police have maintained the hypo- thesis that Justice Crater vanished of his own volition. Close friends Of the missing man, however, have ex- pressed the~belief that he met with violence.
 On the day before he dropped out of sight, Justice Crater withdrew S5,- 15O from two bank accounts and re- moved several portfolios of papers from his chambers in the county courthouse. While it has been urged that these actions pointed to volun- tary disappearance, friends of the justice have declared he had nothing to hide and said the money he car-s ried may have tempted a robber to kill him.
 Reported Seen Frequently
 Reports that Justice Crater had DecH Seeu III fdIlOuS pldIeS III 'iio Adirondacks and in Nova Scotia were investigated by police, who were unable to find definite trace of him.
 Recently, an attorney testified be- fore a county grand jury investigat- ing Judge Crater's disappearance that a woman who gave her name as Lorraine Fay had come to his office and said she intended to file a suit for breach of promise against Justice Crater on August 5, day before he was last seen. No fur ther trace of the woman could be found.
 Rumors connecting Justice Crater with the Ewald case and other charges of corruption. in judicial office have been investigated. but nothing was found to duplicate him. He was president of the Cayuga club, Tammany organization in the district led by Martin J. Healy. who has been indicted for receiving money in consideration of George F.
