BUILDING ACTIVITIES

Sixty Trade Associations Meet
Here Tuesday to Consider Ma
tional Construction Work.

AS step toward carrying out the
larger purposes of the business survey
conference inspired by President Hoover,
approximately so trade associations rep
resenting construction, equipment and
supply industries will meet at the head
quarters of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States Tuesday to con-
slider plans for advancing construction
activities nationally.
The meeting was called by Julius H.
Barnes, chairman of the conference,
at the request Of executives of a num-
Der of associations DESTROYS of sys-
tematizing the cooperative effort of
their own and allied industries.
Among associations invited are the
American Institute of Architects, Amer

forgotten that not they but their an
cestors had made the country great.
Then Richardson came back from his
schooling in France enthusiastic about
RomaneSque architecture and medieval
civilization. Those who had become
tired of the Victorian welcomed him
with open arms. He created quite a
vogue with a style that was beautiful
when he did it, but absolutely map
plicable to our civilization, which was
soon proved by the fact that it did not
last.
Following this came the host of
architects educated at the Ecole des
Beaux-Arts, who undoubtedly did a
great deal of splendid planning and
awakened us to our shortcomings. IN
fortunately, in addition they brought
with them from France the bad taste
of modern Europe. Therefore. the
French Renaissance influence passed
rapidly away.
Now we are returning to precedent
and have been building on the good
old lines constantly, changing them
slightly to meet modern conditions. If
we stick to this, it is hoped we will de-
velop in our residences a more beaut1-
full style than has ever been known be-
fore. However, there is one danger
that we are facing, and that Is the
modern grasp for furniture that looks
likes boxes and wall decorations that
look like combinations of triangles and
fishing worms.
Skyscrapers Set Precedents.
An architect can be forgiven In a
great skyscraper for breaking away
from tradition, because there is no
tradition behind such buildings in their
size and height. But he should not be
forgiven for dragging these forms in
the home, for they will disappear just
as the blocky mission furniture dis
appeared.
We are great in our riches, in our
power We are great in modern inven-
lions and our quantity productions and
think, in our souls but we are at q
turning point, and a dangerous one
The future will be protected of we look
back to the empire builders from
whence we came, and in their houses
our frozen history"-learn that, al
though fewer in number, they were
bigger than we are as individuals.

BUILDERS TO SEEK
TRADE STIMULUS
Contractors of Nation Will
Discuss Means of In
Creasing Business.

Means of stimulating building con-
struction throughout the United States
will be one of the principal subjects
discussed by the 1000 or more mem
bers of the Associated General Con-
tractors Association when that body
meets for its eleventh annual conven-
ton in New Orleans Monday.
A survey of the associations pro-
gram for the conference and for the
fiscal year 1880 discloses that during
the three days of the conference special
stress will be placed on increasing the
flow of money into State, Federal and
public construction and building pro-
grams in accordance with the program
advocated by President Hoover during
his business conferences in December.
At the same time members of the
association will impress upon delegates
the necessity of taking active steps
to recover markets lost in years past
and to create new markets for their
services so that the general contractor
will be able to play a leading role in
the carrying out of State and Federal
building programs urged by President
Hoover.

or discussion for 1880 and second, the
obtaining of croSS-Section of opinions
from the leading mortgage companies
as to the probable availability of money
to finance the construction program of
1880.
Hoover Sets Example.
The Hoover program is well known
to all because of the wide publicity
given to it by newspapers within the
past few weeks. President Hoover has
nominated the construction industry as
the most forceful potential factor to-
ward the sterilization of prosperous
conditions. He has set an example by
stimulating Government, State, city and
public utility construction. He has
focused the interest of every one on the
desirability to Immediately start pro-
grams of construction, including public
buildings, roads, harbor projects and
similar contemplated improvements
That this activity will provide a stimu-
lus for construction activity is obvious
and with this as a foundation we can
proceed to the general building forecast
which is expected to swell the grand
total of activity close to the nine bill
lion dallor mark, making 1880 the
greatest of all construction years.
A telegraphic survey was conducted
at the end of December by the research
department of National Trade Journals.

This combination of factors would
seem to provide reasons for optimism
regarding the building activities Of
1880. 1t would seem that we can as
sumo at least as much building con-
struction during this new year as we
had in 1929. and probably more. In
fact, If mortgage money becomes really
much easier and if the great schedules
of public Improvements are carried out,
it would seem to be quite within reason
that 1880 might exceed all building
construction years.
Industry Is Optimistic.
For the past eight years the Archi-
tectural Forum, professional journal Of
the architectural field, has presented
an exhaustive study of the work under
way in the architectural offices of the
country for the ensuing year. This
building forecast has been based on in
dividual confidential reports received
from architects all over the country
and has made possible a picture OF
future building activity.
The building industry, including Its
advance guard of architects, engineers
and contractors, is looking forward to
the year 1880 with rapidly growing OPP
timism. During the latter part of 1929
opinions as to what building activity
may be expected during the year 1880
varied considerably and were so en-
tangled in unusual economic develop
ments that there seemed to be no posi-
tive average opinion as has been the
case in previous years. The sudden in
terest of President Hoover in stimulat-
ing construction activity as a means
toward economic sterilization, together
with the promising aspect Of financing
for building projects has led to an un-
usually optimistic outlook.
The three primary factors which will
influence the building program of 1890
include the volume of projects which
are contemplated; the availability OF
mortgage money and public financing
for such projects; and the so-callec
| Hoover program. The steps taken tt
prepare this forecast, therefore. have
| included first, the obtaining of indi.
vidual reports from architects. engi-
neers and contractors to gain some
measure of the projects under planning
