Building Costs Found
Above 1929 Average

in September were, on the average,
% per cent above the 1882 level
but they were 81 per cent lower
than in 1929. The price of cement
in September was higher than in
1929 but the prices Of all other
principal materials were below the
predepreSsion level.
The rise in the cost Of building
since 1882 has not prevented an
expansion in the volume of build
ing because it has been accom-
panied by rise in rents, the re-
port said. The cost of building in
September, however, was relatively
much higher than rents, a discrep-
ancy which helps to account for
the fact the building activity is
still far below the predepreSSion
rate despite the upward trend for
nearly three years, at was pointed
out. It is now questionable whether
rents will advance much during
the coming year. This suggests, the
report explained, that a further
expansion of building will be re-
tarded until building costs are
lowered

Building costs have shown a
steady upward trend during the
current year, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. The
cost index in September was 1915
per cent above the annual average
in 1882 when the low for the de-
preston was reached and it was
slightly above the predepression
average Of 1929.
The cost of common labor was
the chief factor accounting for the
increase over the predepression
level. Wages of common labor de-
clined from an average Of SAT-
cents per hour in 1929 to 42.7 cents
in 1892 and then rose to $50 cents
in September Of the present year.
Wages of skilled labor since 1882
have risen from $1.02 per hour to
$1.16, but they are still below the
1929 average Of $1.36.

SWEEPING MERIT
BILL INTRODUCED
Postmasters and Agencies
Would Be Put Under
Civil Service.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

A comprehensive bill to extend and
strengthen the merit system Of ap-
pointment and promotion in the Gov
ernment service was introduced in the
Senate late yesterday by Senators
OMahoney, Democrat, Of wyoming,
and La Toilette. progressive. of Wis
consin. Salient features Of the measure
are:
1t would place all postmasters under
civil service, starting in 1888; authorize
the President to extend the civil serv-
ice law to any agency or group of
workers in the executive branch OF the
Government, except strictly temporary
bureaus; establish Federal personnel
council, to work for the improvement
of the civil service system and the
salary classification act; enable States
and municipalities to utilize the serv-
ices of the Civil Service Commission in
promoting the merit system. and seek
favoritism in appointments and promo
tions.
With Congress speeding toward ad-
journment, it is not likely the measure
could be considered at this session. 1t
probably will be given serious consider
alton when the next Congress meets,
however.
In a joint statement. the two Sena-
tors summed up the purpose of the bill
as follows:
That Government officials who have
the power to direct and shape the
program of the Government should
not be free from political control can
not be doubted by those who believe
that the people should dominate the
Government. All other employees, how
ever, should have an equal opportunity
to enter the service of the Government
and to win promotion upon the basi;
of the good old democratic principle Of
equal rights to all and special privil-
eees to none Personal favoritism ex-
ercised by officials in key positions ir
the civil service is far greater menace
to the merit system than so-called po-
litical patronage. To eliminate this
form of the spoils system, our bill pro-
vides that every personnel officer shall
file a sworn statement that in the ap-
pointment and promotion OF civil serv-
| ice employees he will not be guided by
either personal or political favoritsm,'
The first title of the bill provides fol
appointment of all postmasters without
definite term, and under civil service
laws, whereas only fourth-class post
masters are so appointed at present
The bill would give employees in first
and second class offices an opportunity
to win promotion to postmaster.
Under the next title, the President
could, by executive order, extend the
civil service to agencies now outside oi
that law, except agencies created for 8
definite temporary time. Incumbent'
