BUILDING SHOWS
SIGNS Of REVIVAL
Standard Statistics Finds
Basis Now Laid for
Vigorous Rise.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 21.-In an ex-
tensive survey covering the entire resi-
dental building field, with especial
reference to the influence of the
recent amendments to the Federal
Housing Act, the Standard Statistics
Co. concludes that anything approach
ing building boom in 1888 is un-
likely, but that the basis has been
laid for vigorous revival in the buid-
ing industry, which will probably be
witnessed just as soon as general busi-
ness conditions permit
Field investigations were made
among lenders, borrowers, contractors,
potential home owners and the various
Federal agencies concerned with build
ing, in connection with the study.
Among the specific conclusions ar
rived at are the following:
The Governments efforts to stim-
ulate building have met with gratify-
ing response in many quarters. A
number of new products have been
proposed, developments dormant since
the slump in this field year ago have
taken on new life. and a great deal
of the gloom which pervaded the in
dustry at the turn of the year has been
dissipated.
The amendments to the Federal
Housing Act will undoubtedly create
a volume of building this year greater
than that which otherwise would have
developed
Earlier indications that the busi-
ness slump would result in a sharp
contraction in residential construction
appear to have been overstressed.
"Large-scale rental projects of the
lower-cost type will probably exceed
the volume of such building a year
ago, and perhaps by a substantial
margin.
THE demand for dwellings in the
low-priced field has recently increased
sharply, and the number of such
homes under construction may rise
above the comparable 1887 level later
in the year"
