VOLUME Of HOME
BUILDING DOUBLES
United Business Service
Shows April Contracts 81
Per Cent Higher.

The total value of residential build
ing in 1885 is expected to at least
double last years volume, says the
United Business Service in its cur
rent report.
In a special study devoted to hous-
ing prospects, the service points out
that the value of residential building
contracts last month was 81 per cent
higher than in the corresponding
month a year ago and was the largest
monthly total since recovery got un-
der way. Statistics on contemplated
construction" indicate that further
substantial gains are likely during
the coming months.
Higher levels of employment, the
upturn in rents. the increase in mar
riages and births, imitation fears,
lower interest rates and more attrac-
tive financing arrangements are
named as the chief causes Of this
rise in home construction. Doubling
up Of families is less common than
in recent years, apartment occupan-
cies are higher and the supply Of un-
occupied homes has been reduced by
purchases, by fire losses and by dem
clifton. These factors, together with
a negligible amount of new construc-
ton during the depression. have re-
suited in actual shortage of living
quarters in some areas.
In addition to the improvement In
the residential field, large amount
of public works construction is also
scheduled. Manufacturers of building
materials, therefore, are expected to
show marked gains in sales and earn
ings over 1884 results,

tions, and APPRAISAL fees were actually
accepted from So of the applicants.
Others in the group will be examined
more thoroughly later.
Gilchrist estimated that rs per cent
of the So applications accepted for ap-
praisal will be approved for mortgage
insurance. The next step after this
approval is to obtain financial in
stitution willing to make the loan. The
administration has volunteered to at
tempt to place the mortgage appllca-
ton with a financial institution if the
applicant requests it. The admins
tration in this way can ascertain
which of the banks are willing to CO.
operate in this effort to revive build
ing construction, and consequently al
leviate unemployment.
Request Total of $305,000.
The So new applicants from whom
appraisal fees were received are re-
uuesting a total of S305, 900, Gilchrist
said, of which $70,100 was requested
for new construction. The director
had administration employees start
work Immediately on $l80,000 worth
of these mortgages, and said the re-
manning s124,O 900 will be sent through
the mill" next week. The flow of ap-
plications showed no sign of letting
up when the Office was opened today.
Gilchrist's Office was so busily en-
gagged in waiting on the new appli-
cants that they had no opportunity to
service routine applications for mort
gage insurance received from the
banks and other financial institutions.

FACES LONG PULL.
Still Depressed Despite
Gains, Says Alexander
Hamilton Institute Report.

Despite the relatively sharp per-
centage increases in building con-
tracts this year over the two previous
years, the building industry was still
in depressed state during the first
two months of 1885, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
Building activity was at such q low
rate in 1888 and 1884 that the gains
made In 1885 represented little prog
ress toward full recovery. In order
to attain the peak reached in
1928, building contracts during the
first two months of this year would
have had to show an increase Of 1895
per cent over the depression's low in
1888, as against the actual increase of
only ass per cent. Building con-
tracts in 1885 represented a recovery
of only ST per cent of the ground lost
in the 1928-1933 slump. Contracts
in the first two months of 1895
amounted to only 1874 per cent Of the
volume in the corresponding period
of 1928.
1t is not likely that building activity
in 1885, for the year as a whole, will
show any marked progress toward full
recovery, the report continued. 1t Is
favorable that construction costs have
recently shown a slight tendency to
decline and that the upward trend of
rents which started at the beginning
of 1884 is still in progress. 1t can
not be expected, however, that any
continuation of these cost and rent
trends will be rapid. Any narrowing
of the spread between costs and rents,
which is the chief obstacle to build
ing revival, thus promises to be too
moderate to have much of a stim-
ulating effect, especially since a gen.
eral reduction in the Nations pur-
chasing power Is in prospect this year
as an offsetting factor.

FARM REALTY TAXES
LOWEST SINCE 1918
Per Acre Rate Compared on Sur.
vey by Bureau of Agricul.
tural Economies.

Farm real estate taxes in 1888 were
the lowest per acre since 1918 and
the lowest since 1929 in relation to
land values. reports the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics on the basis
of survey of 35 States.
Texas averaged s1.22 per Sl00 of
estimated full value, or 80 cents per
acre. The bureau says taxes per acre
show the amount of real estate taxes
farmers. have to pay from year to year,
but taxes per 500 of real estate value
more adequately indicate the burden
Of these taxes on land.
1t is stated that taxes per 500 of
value increased continually from 1918
to 1882 because during that period
real estate values continually declined
relative to taxes per acre. Between
the 1882 and 1888 levies, taxes per
s100 declined 19 per cent. but iu the
latter year still averaged 122 per cent
above taxes in 1913

water is circulated, or an air washer
equipped with cold water sprays.
If the heating system is a gravity
type, hot air plant it will be neces-
sary to install a motor driven blower
unit to circulate the air throughout
the house. This blower. by the way,
will also increase the efficiency of the
system for Winter heating. Together
with the installation of the blower q
cooling coil or washer is used as in
the case of the modern plant.
After these changes have been
made in the heating system tank of
some sort must be provided in which
the ice is melted, and pump installed
to circulate the ice water through the
air conditioner.
The tank can be essentially the
same as one used for oil storage eX-
cept that large opening is provided
in the top for the entrance of the ice.
A chute is usually provided so that
the ice can be slid in from outside the
building. In tank of this sort the
ice is floated in water, the cooled wa
ter being pumped to the air conditioner
when called for by the thermostat
placed in the house. The outside of
the tank must be insulated with sew
eral layers of heat insulation so that
the ice may be stored economically
when the system Is not being used.
Tank Possibly More Efficient.
A slightly more complicated con-
struction can be employed which will
possibly prove to be more efficient. A
tank made of steel plates placed either
in the basement or in a hole excavated
outside. The sides of this tank should
also be very thoroughly insulated. A
wooden platform is provided inside
the structure upon which whole cakes
of ice are placed and the circulating
water is sprayed over them from
above through perforated pipes or
heads. This type Of ice storage will
provide a more accurate control Of
ice meltage and temperature.
With a cooling system of this sort,
it is possible for the home owner to
have at his command plant of al
most unlimited capacity at relatively
low cost. When hot spell comes along
it is merely necessary to call the ice
man, who will fill the tank with either
cracked or whole cakes of ice, the
switch for the pump and blower is
thrown in, and the inside temperature
will be maintained wherever desired
by the automatic thermoStat con-
trolling the ice water pump.
The results obtained with an ice
system are for all practical purposes
the same as those produced with me-
chanical refrigeration.
In locations where the hours of op-
Grafton are short, and the cooling load
subject to great variation, it will be
found that the cost Of operation is ex-
tremely economical.

MATERIALS SHOW
BUT SLIGHT RISE
Items in Building Group Still
Below Level of Year
Ago.

Though building materials prices
allowed an advance during February
along with the general Sise Of other
commodities, the gain was slight and
prices of items in the building group
were still below the level Of a year
ago, according to a report Of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The general level of wholesale COM
modify prices advanced nearly / per
cent from January to February. The
index of the bureau rose to 1875 per
cent of the 1926 average. This level
is the highest point reached since
December, 1890 The February index
registered an advance of 8 per cent
over February, 1884.
Behind General Advance.
However, the price of building ma
terials has not followed the general
advance during the last year, includ-
ing such commodities as foodstuffs.
Building materials advanced a tenth
Of / per cent from January to Feb
ruary this year, but the February
index was 1.6 per cent less than for
the same month last year. This de-
crease in building costs has led to
the increase in construction through
out the country.
Lumber Price Higher.
The slightly higher prices showed
by building materials last month over
January, according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, was due to the
increase in the price of lumber. Other
subgroups, such as brick and tile,
paint and paint materials, were
slightly lower.
Plumbing and heating materials
prices showed a decline of 8 of !
per cent in February, while the price
of structural steel remained the same
as January, which was 80 per cent
OF the 1926 level.
Housefurnishing goods as whole
for February showed a decline in
price of 4 of per cent as compared
with January. The price of the
subgroup furniture declined l per cent.
