BUILDING BOOM
STILL PREDICTED
Moody's Review Forecasts
Temporary LulI in Con-
Structi0n.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 19.-Despite
the clouding of business skies since
August, building analysts are still
standing by their opinions construc-
ton boom is on the way.
There has been some compromise
with confidence on the time element.
Instead of feeling the boom definitely
would develop in 1888, as some pre-
dicted as recently as last Summer. the
tendency now is to fix a later period,
with due allowance for the general
shift of economic winds. The outlook,
summed up by Moody's in an analysis,
is that:
THE near term outlook for the
building industry is for either very
small growth or recession in activity
next year. Thereafter, however &C
tivity should quicken and prospects
still favor the development of a resi-
dental building boom some time in
the next few years"
The survey holds that building

tivities were subnormal during this
period.

tial field are seen a favorable balance
of building costs and rents and

"A period of sustained business i'm

lis entirely likely to result in rise
of rents to the point where large-scale
building operations will be encouraged
even though construction costs con-
tinue to rise, and in the last analysis
it is the relation of rents and building
costs that determine the broad trend
of residential building"

1000 NE AIS FOR
N. C.;TRAVEL PARTY
80 Executives and Writers
To Be Guests of State for
Twelve Days

Raleigh, Oct. 9-During the twelve
days travel tour of North Carolina,
starting in Asheville October 10, on
which more than 90 travel writer's,
editors, tourist agency executives and
travel counsellors will be the guests
of the Governors Hospitality Commit
tee, more than 5000 meals will be serv
ed to the guests, it was pointed out
today by Coleman w. Roberts of Char
lotte, chairman of the committee on
arrangements.
In addition to serving three meals
day to approximately 100, persons for
IA days, counting the day before and
after the tour on which. many of the
guests will still be in the state, the
tour members will be served with
special refreshments an average of
twice day at various places through
which it will pass. So in addition to
serving more than person meals ar
rangements have been made to serve
feast $500 9person refreshments"
Chairman Roberts pointed out.
"If we had accepted every invitation
the tour has had to stop. for lunch,
breakfast, dinner or refreshments, we
would have had to stop at least six
times day to eat" Mr.. Roberts said.
These more than 5000 person
meals which will be- served the
guests of the tour during the time
they are in the state will be the best
the various hotels know how to serve
and no expense or trouble is being
spared to make them outstanding, de-
spite the fact that all of the hotels
either singly or in cooperation with
local chambers Of commerce, are pro-
viding both meals and lodging for the
tour party without any charge whatso-
ever to the State, Mr.. Roberts pointed,
out. Several hotels are arranging
regular banquets to be followed with
dances or other elaborate entertain7
ment, while the chambers of COM
merce, boards of trade and in some
cases city and county commissioners
are cooperating in several cities and
towns in providing luncheons and
other special entertainment for the

AVERY WANTS TO BE
AMERICAN SCOTLAND.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
FL the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Oct. 9--Avery county as:
pires to become the Scotland of
America" as the result of program
for protecting grouse both against
hunters and that enemy of all wild
life, forest fire. The native grouse
have been increasing at rapid rate.
The county's hopes of becoming like
the land of the thistle and heather
lies in plans for adopting the Scot
fish method of using "beaters" for
grouse hunting.
From last November 20 until De-
cember is, enthusiastic grouse hunt
ers hunted the high slopes of Beech,
Grandfather, Sugar and Blood Camp
mountains and many of them bagged
their full bag limit on the very first
day.
In one respect Avery's folks hope to
be decidedly different from Scotland,
however, as it has been estimated that
the cost of bagging each grouse there
is between S. and $40, price too stiff
for the ordinary hunters to pay
In Avery, on the other hand, the
sport is open to the poor as well as
the Itch.
