TO RESIST BOOM
Kentuckian Proposes Build.
ing Activity Be Spread
Over Longer Cycle.

Architects in 1897 should assert
leadership in curbing what is expected
to be "the biggest building boom in
history" and In spreading construc-
ton activity over longer cycle, de-
clares Ossian p. Ward, secretary of the
Kentucky Chapter Of the American
Institute of Architects.
"A building boom i always upsetting
and unsatisfactory" Ward warns in
a report of architectural progress in
1896, which discusses Housing a
Nation From an Architects View
point"
"A rush Of construction creates high
prices which in turn cause expensive
building. making it impossible for q
structure to earn enough revenue to
constitute profitable investment ex-
cept perhaps over a very short period.
Such condition always spells grief
for some one," he said.
"The prophecy Is being freely made
that the biggest building boom in his
tory will start next Spring and that
prices Of labor and materials will 90
up. There is no doubt but that, bar
ring economic upsets, building con-
struction In 1887 will be of greater VOL
ume than in 1896. The greatest in
crease will probably be in the resi-
Dental class.

1T is to be hoped. however, that
there will be no building boom or
any substantial rise in the price of
labor or materials except those that
are unquestionably too low. If prices
go up too sharply, building necessarily
will be retarded. Architects should
use their influence to curb a building

CAPITAL IS SECOND
ONLY TONEW YORK
IN CONSTRUCTION
Washington Is One Of Few
Cities Showing Increase
Over Previous Month.
NATIONAL SURVEY MADE
BY LABOR DEPARTMENT.
Permits for Additions and Repairs
to Buildings Reveal Most
Marked Decline.

Washington was second only to New
York City In volume Of November
construction, the report of Secretary
Perkins on the Labor Departments
monthly survey of building activity
throuhout the Nation showed today.
The national survey indicated that
construction last month was charac-
terized by the contraction of activi-
ties that ordinarily attends this sea-
son of the year. 1t was, however, 81
per cent greater than the total for
November, 1895. Measured by value
of building permits issued, all classes
of building activity in the month fell
below the figure for October. The
Capital was one Of the few cities
where an increase over the preceding
month was shown. The most abrupt
decline-22 per cent-was reported in
the value of permits approved for ad-
ditions, alterations and repairs TO
existing structures. New non-resi-
Dental construction showed q decrease
of Is per cent from October, and new
residential building dropped 10 per
cent.
Washington climbed in the list of
major cities from fourth place in Oc-
tober to the runner-up position, pass
ing Los Angeles and Detroit. Including
both private and public buildings, per-
mits were approved here for $4,672,516
in all classes Of construction. New
York lead the country with a build
ing valuation total of more than ST.
100000. Los Angeles was in third
place with total Of $4,400. 900, and
Detroit fourth.
1885 Figures Supposed.
Although falling below the October
level" Miss Perkins said, "the No
vember rate of building activity was
still far above that of a year ago.
Despite small decrease in new nom
residential construction, the aggre.
gate value of all building permits is
sued during the month was 81 per
cent greater than in November, 1885.
This gain Is accounted for by an in
crease of nearly 10 per cent in new
residential construction and an ad-
vance Of IS per cent in the value of
permits issued for additions, altera-
tions and repairs to existing struc.
lures.
For the first II months of 1886 the

Begged to Give Him Chance.

COWBOY, who followed up brother
Buddy's victory with decision
win over frankie Klick, fourth rank
ing world lightweight, first became
affiliated with Menendez several years
ago in Florida rings, where Gabe was
learning the ins and outs of the box
ing business as a second.
When Menendez transferred his
managerial talent to Washington, he
implored Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn
to allow him to bring in Scott from
Texas, where Howard barely was mar
aging to right hook the wolf away
from the door. Goldie finally sue
cumbed to Menendez' earnest pleading
1t was a life saver for Howard-that
call from Gabe to come East. He
caught a bus and Travelled the 1900
odd miles to this city. He stepped on
the bus here nearly 10 pounds under
weight from his enforced diet. He
looked so badly that Ahearn was afraid
to put him on.
Normally a lightweight, Howard
had dropped so much poundage he
was forced to fight as feather
weight. He wasn't impressive in his
first scrap here where he grabbed
a decision over the ring-worn Eddie
Burl in a four-round preliminary.
Washington's cauliflower colony
thought they had drawn lemon
when Scott bowed to Johnny De Foe
on a technical knockout in his first
feature fight here on New Year day.
They weren't long in telling Ahearn
about it, who in turn told Gabe to
ship Howard home.

ranks as a leading contender for the

And because the present ruler OF

has presented Gabe with promising
young ght-heavyweight to maneuver
along ringdom's rocky trail.
You saw Howard'S gift to Gabe In

Buddy, who made an auspiciouS local
debut by knocking out Cox in the

Buddy looks promising. He looks so
promising, in fact, that Ancil Hoffman.
who piloted Madcap Make Bear tc
