COSTSOF BUILDING
SEENASDECL|N|NC
1888 Likely to Be Better
Than Two Previous Ones
for the Buyer.

An appraisal of the home building
cost factors evident in the first
quarter of the year indicates that 1888
will be superior to both 1886 and 1887
as a period in which to build a new
home.
The materials for a new home cost
less now than at any time during
1887, says the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association, which has Just
completed survey of probable home
costs for the rest of this year. Re-
ductions in financing costs and lower
land rates give this year an edge over
1896.
At the depth of the depression in
1882 material for the average home
could be bought for less money than
today. However, because of the ex-
treme low level of national income,
the purchase of building material in
that year would have taken a larger
portion of the average income than
the same material at the slightly
higher prices in 1888.
Materials 6.3 Per Cent Less.
Taking the year 1925 as normal and
most logical to compare with 1898,
the association stated that building
material is 6.3 per cent less this year
than in 1926 The United States Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics reports that
the composite curve of all building
material stood at approximately 93.7
per cent in November, 1887, and has
been reduced considerably since that
time.
Real estate operators can point out
lots that were sold in 1926 for ST, 500
which can be purchased today for
$500 to $500. AS a general average,
building sites are $500 to $500 less
than in 1926.
Under new methods of home
financing the buyer obtains full own
ership and saves IS per cent of old
time financing costs. Today, if you
borrow S5,000 you pay s3713 monthly
with both principal and interest be-
coming less each payment In 20 years
the total payments are s8,9l12O, the
debt is paid and you own your home.
Under older systems of unamortized
mortgages, when you borrowed $4,000
you did not reduce the principal, but
let the debt run. At the end of 20
years you had paid $500 interest
and still owed $1,000. The cost to buy
was sll, 500, plus renewable costs
every five years. Today you save ST.
$3.50.
AS for building plans, those of 1898

Mortgages Cited.
REPORTS OF BUSINESS
PAINT ERRATIC PICTURE
Long Island Activity Held
0utweighing Mediocre
Showing Elsewhere.

The building boom expected from
the National Housing Act amendments
is being delayed because of lack of
ers and the general unwillingness of
bankers to accept 80 per cent mort
cages, the Architectural Forum Mag
azine declares today after survey of
so leading subdividers in 20 cities in
Is States.
The National picture. as given in
the record of F. H. A. mortgages Sc
lected for appraisal, is superflcially
hopeful" the Architectural Forum eX-
plains. 1T indicates a sharp increase
in plans for new building. The CONTRA
diction between these plans and the
uncertainty revealed by this survey of
subdividers is explained by the fact
that where building is good (as on
Long 1slandD, it is very, very good,
outweighing the mediocre records of
the country as whole"
Rejecting both the positive inf1u-
ence of the National Housing Act
amendments and the negative effect of
business recession, the survey shows
that construction activity during the
first two and half months of 1888
was greater than in the corresponding
period last year in 81 per cent of the
localities. smaller in 80 per cent and
about the same in the remaining "a
per cent. However, labor and mate
rial costs were below those prevalent
year ago.
Paint Erratic Picture.
although the net result indicates
that building is progressing at the
same rate as a year ago, individual
reports paint an erratic picture"
the Architectural Forum points out.
THUS, replies from seven subdividers
(three in the New York City area) in
dicated that new F. H. A. legislation
permitting the issuance of mortgages
up to 80 per cent had doomed new
construction
"A like number stated that the leg
islation had stimulated public inter-
est in home building and buying, but
had not yet produced results. Eight
more said that little or no effect has
been felt. The largest group, l3, was
OF the opinion that, while results were
not yet evident, the legislation in time
would serve to stimulate the industry
The reasons for the comparatively
cool reception accorded the Govern
ment's latest aid to building may be:
The buyer. caught in the recess
sion, lacks the confidence in his fu-
ture to assume a long-term obliga-
ton" the Architectural Forum Maya
zine declares. Herein lies perhaps
the strongest reason for slow public
reaction to the new National Housing
Act amendment.
Secondly. the banks in many cases

value of District homes on which H.
o. L. c. money was loaned was $500.
Price up to $17,500.
Homes now being marketed here by
the H. o. L. c. range from $4,000 to
$17,500 in price. Mr.. Foster said.
Greatest buyer interest is being shown
in properties valued around $4,000 or
$1,000. Most of the homes offered by
the H. o. L. c. are thoroughly recon-
ditioned before being placed upon the
market.
In selling its acquired properties,
Mr.. Foster explained, the H. o. L. c.
is being guided by two principles:
l. To protect the publics invest
ment in the H. 0. L. c. by realizing
from properties, where possible, the
H. o. L. c. investment in them.
2. To protect private real estate
values by not dumping on any local
market more than it is in a position
to absorb.
These policies, he pointed out, have
resulted in offerings to the public of
good values s"-modern homes worth
all that is asked for them-but not
shoppers bargains"

IF YOU are one who likes white
houses, very white ones-not cream
or gray-you should investigate a new
paint which can make the exterior of
any house whittier than white. It's a
material that can go over shingles,
rough-surfaced lumber, stone. brick or
stucco, and still hold its whiteness.
This paint is made especially for
brush-coating work, SO it flows ex-
ceptionally smoothly of the brush,
and makes an even surface, unmarried
with brushmarks. 1t has great hiding
power because of concentrated pigmen-

Message
A REAL PHILOSOPHY.
BY REV. J. EvERETTE NEEsE

1 sat on the opposite side of bust
ness mans desk last week and while
in conversation with him 1 discovered
that he had a profound reverence for
God. He was interested in the church
and things religious. When I left his
office | returned to my study to sum-
Marie this business mans Christian
philosophy. If I make no mistake the
following words express it:
Forth in thy name, o Lord, go,
My daily labor to pursue,
Thee, only thee, resolved to know
In all I think, or speak, or do.
The task thy wisdom hath assigned,
0 let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works thy presence find,
And prove thy good and perfect will.
Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to thy glorious day.
For thee delightfully."- employ
What e'er my bounteous grace hath
given
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee in heaven.
