Foundation Trenches

The foundation trench around the
house should not become a catch-all
for scraps of lumber, masonry and
the like. A fill cannot be compacted
over such refuse and will settle
later, necessitating removal and re-
placement of shrubs and sod
Neither does it provide a nourishing
soil for planting. Furthermore, it
offers aid to termites. All forms and
forming stakes should be removed
from around footings and walls, and
grade pegs from the basement floor.
The fill around the house should
be well tamped and wet down to
avoid future settlement. Place and
lamp the fill-in layers sloping away
from the house for best results.

BY RUFUS S. LUSK.

The real estate market, like all
other markets, runs in cycles. Its
movement is slow. While other
commodities have wide fluctuations
from year to year, the real estate
cycle extends over about two dec
AIDES. Economists who have studied
this market say about 18 to 20 years
elapse between its peak-when busi--
ness booms-and the valley, or low
point.
Real estate activity is local. 1t
is. nevertheless, affected by gen.
ersl conditions throughout the
country. AS prosperity has re-
turned building is on the upsurga-
in most parts of the Nation. But
there are marked exceptions to thil
rule. Washington has been one OF
them. The building boom here
started about six years ago. It did
not get under way in the rest of the
country until 1898.
Study of Market Important.
1t is important for a builder or
an investor to study general market
conditions before he goes ahead
In lesser degree this applies to the.
buyer of a home.
1t is only in recent years that.
there has been any considerable
amount of information available
concerning general real estate con-.
ditions. Prior to 1920 there were no
figures for most cities showing the
number of dwelling units construct
ed. 1t took years for the Bureau
of Labor Statistics to get building
inspectors of cities and towns in.

Feeling Pinch
Of Defense
n. La
House Prices Here
Due to Rise; Costs
Up About II Pct.
Nv JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Washington BODYBUILDING
industry is beginning to feel the
pinch of the huge defense program
in shortages of materials and work
men. and it is the opinion of build
ing experts that there are more
homes available and at cheaper
prices in the current market than
there will be for some time to come.
Prices of finished homes have
risen in the last year, but due to
unusually keen competition and the
foresight of many builders in buying
materials ahead, this rise has not
been unreasonable. Real estate men
expect the rise in materials to be
much sharper in the months lmme-
diately ahead, and point out that
deliveries of many items which go
into a home already are indefinite.
Although it is difficult to deter
mine exactly how much more it
costs to build a house today than
year ago, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board reports that costs in
April this year were SO per cent
above April 1910. 1t is probable
that a IL per cent increase would
be more accurate for the Washing
ton area. The bank board survey
shows costs rising slowly, with an
increase of Z of l per cent from
March to April.
Sc Rise Since January Estimated.
One builder who figured s16.-
600 home in January said recheck
of his calculations showed a cost
increase of 6 per cent since that
time.
All builders are agreed that it is
becoming more difficult every day
to build. Whether this trend will
lead to virtual stoppage of private
operations as it did in the last war
they do not know. 1t is apparent
that building here, especially on
large projects not considered neces-
sary to defense, will be curtailed
sharply in the near future, either
by direct Government action or i'm
possibility of getting materials due
to priorities claims or transportation
problems.
Such building materials as struc-
tural steel, copper for piping, gut
tiers. Hastings, etc, and plated
plumbing fittings already are very
scarce. One builder said he could
get such materials Neasier for a
thousand houses year ago than he
can for one house today. The same
builder said he is now selling new
houses at price increase of less
