LOW BUILDING COSTS
MAY FAIL TO LINGER
Realty Association Urges Work Of
Construction in Cities That
Need Structures.

Construction costs are down for all
types Of buildings, but these low levels
may not continue, the National ASso-
citation OF Real Estate Boards declared
this week in urging building in COM
munities that can tenant new struc-
lures
A Department of Labor report made
in the last week OF June shows a de-
crease of 1875 per cent in estimated
costs of structures covered by building
permits issued in 342 of the larger
cities Of the country, as compared with
April. Residential building costs
dropped 18 per cent and nonresident
tial costs dropped 20s per cent from
the April totals.
The Engineering News Record, re-
porting on an extensive survey COM
pleted last month on building trades
wage scales, shows a Il to 81 per cent
decline below scale throughout the
country. The survey indicates that
average actual wages received are II
per cent below scale for carpenters and
bricklayers, 16 per cent for plasterers,
IA per cent for iron workers and 81
per cent for common laborers.
Thus family heads who have received
wage reductions in many cases can
build homes today just as though they
had not suffered demotion, says the
association.

SUIT STARTED In
SUPERIOR COURT

Trial of the suit brought by the
Dixieland School district against
Sarah E. Shears, former Dixieland
teacher, began today before Judge
A. c. Finney in department one OF
the superior court.

teacher, and for court order ap-
proving her dismissal.
The teacher contends that the
district committed a breach of con-
tract in discharging her.

district that its trustees were made
to sign the contract with Mrs.
Shears through misrepresentation
on her part of the salary she had
received prior to signing of the con-
tract under question.
The alleged contract. produced by
Mrs. Shears in proof of her conten-
ton that she had received a salary
of $18l66 instead of $l65, when the
second contract was signed, was at
tackled in court today. Testimony
was introduced intended to prove
that she received the larger salary
on her second contract through
Misrepresentation of the first.
S. L. McCrory is attorney for the
plaintiff, while Frank Birkhauser
represents the teacher. Witnesses
called today included members OF
the school board of trustees in 1927
the year the contract was signed.
