BUILDER STRESSING
MANY new FACTORS
Color, Air Conditioning and
Sound Control Figure in
Remodeling.

New York contractors are develop
ing new science of building as they
undertake remodeling projects under
the Presidents housing program. Air
conditioning, accoustical materials
that deaden sound, wall colors that
make the most Of every ray Of light
all these factors are being considered
in the planning Of new construction
and in remodeling work.
Painting, which used to be consid-
cred worthy only q casual considera-
ton when the rest Of the construction
work was finished, has now become an
integral part Of the job and ranks
Importantly in the planning Of the
construction project.
In the matter Of installing accous-
tical materials, for instance, Manhat-
tan contractors have learned 1t Is Of
prime importance to select the proper
surface coating. Sealing the pores Of
the material destroys its all-important
absorptive properties. Consequently,
it Is necessary that the type Of paint
and the method Of painting used be
such that these porous surfaces re-
main open. All renovizing or mod
ernization operations call for the
latest in equipment-and the impor-
tance Of sound control In apartments,
hotels, Offices and factories Is closely
followed by that Of light. New York
building owners are learning that no
lighting system can attain its fun po-

IN JULY BUILDING
Value of Construction Here
Placed at S1,199,148 by
Federal Figures.

Washington captured sixth place
among the leading cities of the coun-
try In the matter Of estimated cost
of total building construction during
July, according TO figures released to-
day by Commissioner Lubin Of the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics. Only New
York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles
and New Haven exceeded the District
In construction value.
Lubin's figures placed the number
Of new buildings and those upon
which repairs were made at 429 for
the District, representing total value
Of construction Of $1,199,148.
The number of buildings for which
permits were issued decreased s. per
cent, but the value of building con-
struction projects increased las per
cent comparing July with June, ac-
cording to reports received by the
bureau from 756 identical cities hav-
ing a population Of 10000 or over.
Commissioner Lubin announced.
This increase in indicated expendi-
lures for building operations is con-
trary to the usual seasonal trend. In
1882 there was q decrease of sos per
cent and In 1888 O decrease Of 11.3 per
cent. comparing building permit
values in July with June.
These permits cover building con-
struction only. The data does not
include such other types of construc-
ton as road building, river, harbor,
flood control work, etc. Included with
the building permit figures are the
number and cost Of public buildings
for which contracts are awarded by
Federal and State governments in
cities having a population Of 10000
or over. In June the value Of such
public buildings was $l,694,894; In
July, $2,991, ,048.
Permits were issued during July for
the following important projects: In
New Haven, Conn, for q college dor
mitory to cost 81 800, 600: In Boston,
Mass, for a hospital building to cost
nearly 81 400 900; in Wellesley, Mass,
for an educational building to cost
$700, 900; In Ithaca, N. Y. for hos
pital building to cost nearly $400, 600;
In the Borough Of the Bronx, for
wholesale markets to cost more than
$700, 900, and for q school building to
cost $450,000; in Chicago, Ill, for q
department store to cost $1,000, 900;
In Muncie. Ind, for school building
to cost $450, 900, and In Helena, Mont,
for school building to cost more than

1000 D. c. HOMES
SAVED BY H. 0. L. C..
FIGURES REVEAL
Continued From First Page.)

March 8, 1884, when the flood of ap-
plications from distressed home own
ers was at its height. AS of August
II, the total number Of loans closed
by the corporation aggregated 49,
834, amounting to 1891, sos, ,465.
The consistent decline in the num-
Der of new applications for corpora
ton assistance during the past five
months, the corporation states, Is due
to several different factors:
!. Clearer recognition by home
owners who are not in actual distress
that their applications would not be
eligible for corporation loans.
2. A larger volume OF loanable
funds now available from building
and loan associations and other pri-
vate home financing institutions
many Of which have also reported to
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
a substantial increase in recent
months in the demand for loan ac-
commodatiors from home owners OF
sound credit standing. Thus, pri-
vate capital has begun to resume ac-
tivity in home financing, which tenn
porarily had been forced largely upon
Federal resources.
3. The majority of people in gen.
uine need of corporation relief and
unable to obtain loans elsewhere had
previously made application, while the
number Of home owners who have
only recently encountered such diff
Guilty has declined.
It is emphasized by the corporation
that home owners seeking loans for
modernization and improvement of
their properties should apply to their
local banks or similar institutions
rather than to the Home Owners
Loan Corp, which was created
to deal solely with mortgage difficult
ties involving the threatened loss OF
the home through foreclosure. Local
financial institutions, it is pointed out,
have full information available re-
garding the facilities which they offer
in cooperation with the Federal
Housing Administration in making
loans to home owners Of established
credit standing for repairs and re-
modelling.

be q slight increase during the next
year, it could hardly be considered un-
reasonable, for We find evidence Of
increasing prices affecting the cost Of
the necessities Of operation and main
tenance. It is no more reasonable to
expect the landlord to continue serv-
Ice and housing upon the same rental
basis with these rising costs than it
is to expect the groceryman to sell his
food and the merchant to sell his
clothing at the same prices. Shelter,
food and clothing are the necessities
OF hfe-one no more than the other
but the landlord seems to stand more
than his share Of criticism If there Is
. slight increase to him In the re-
adjustment.
"The former 1uxuries Of life have
become necessities, and 1t win be i'm
possible for those who have expert
enced conditions previous to these ad-
vancements Of the age to ever see
rentals reach the low point paid be-
fore such improvements became q
part Of household requirements"

SEC. MOVE LIKELY
TO PURF|NANc|NG
Revision of Schedule "a"
Expected to Be Made
Within a Week.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December l2.-Word
from Washington is to the effect that
within week modification In sched.
ule "A" Of the securities exchange act
will be announced by Chairman Joseph
p. Kennedy Of the Securities Commits
sion. This will permit a considerable
amount Of new financing. The section
OF the act under consideration has
been q barrier that corporations have
refused to hurdle. as it involved them
, in so much expense in registering Sc
curities that they were reluctant to
assume 1t except where money condi.
tions were urgent.
The proposed change in this unpop.
ular portion Of the securities act will
relieve the borrower from enumeratinr
an endless amount of nom n-essential de-
tails concerning companies affected by
the proposed financing.
For instance, II o holding company
say. Of o power and light concern
wished to refund the bonds of one Of
us properties and there were 20 SUBJ
sidiaries In the group, al of the infor-
nation available Of each Of the 90
allied companies would have to be set
out in the registration paper. Or II an
operating company were the applicant
for loan, 1t would likewise be COM
PEELED To give the history and all
financial data Of its various holding
company subsidiary afnlates. This is
regulation and statistical exposure run
riot.
Given the new terms on which reg
istration may be effected under a mod
lflcatlon Of section "a" what will be
the net result to the present depressed
capital market? Obviously, consid-
cradle increase in the amount of re-
FUNDING, but very little expansion at
present in the market for new capital
loans.
There are large number Of refund
ing operations awaiting the new inter-
pretatlon OF the securities exchange
act. Corporation executives have been
Tor months impatient over the delay
IN taking advantage of the current
ease in money rates by substituting
low lnterest-bearing mortgages or de-
oentures Tor those outstanding at
per cent or higher
The major portion Of the antici.
pated refunding following modification
OF section "A" will be by the public
utilities and the industriak. The
amount scheduled for the railroads is
not so large as for the other two
groups. One benefit of this will be TO
reduce the sum of bank loans out
standing against corporations not pre-.
viously able to finance themselves in
the investment market.
