" THE OUTLOOK FOR THR OPENING SRASOX—WHAT BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS SAY—THE LABOR SITU- ATION AND THE COST OF MATERIAL—NEW RESI- DENCES NOW BEING ERECTED OR ABOUT TO BE ERECTED. “The season began very early this year” 1s the Temark which all builders and real estate men make when speaking of the improvement boom in this city. In the ordinary meaning of the term this season has not been an early one, yet the backwardness of nature in beginning her annual Mst of Improvements has had no effect, upon the Teal estate market. As soon as mortar could be laid the work of building began, and has beeo going on steadily ever since. One prominent real estate dealer told a Srax reporter that since Feb- Tuary he had made sales valued at $175,000, and he added: “This 1s the largest business I éver did at this time of the year since I have been dealing in Teal estate in this city.” ‘There are, of course, causes for this early and unprecedented rush, but after all has been sald, the reason for this activity Mes in the. fact'that the desirablilty of Washington as a home is unquestioned, and further that capitadsts ap- preclate the large returns for investments In real estate. In other words, the city 43 growing and growing rapidly, and the present’ building opera- | tions are the legitimate outcome of this growth. The Condition of the Brick Market. ‘The cost of brick has naturally a very import- ant bearing upon the amount of building that 1s done. An Increase In the price has often the effect of checking bullding operations. As stated in THe STaR some weeks ago the price of bricks will remain about the same as last year, the present slight advance continuing only during the early part of the season. Nearly all the brick used here ts manufactured tn this vicinity, and in this respect there has been quite a change during the past few years. Formerly quantities of brick, es- Peclally of the flner make, were purchased élse- where. A reporter of ‘THE STAR asked a repre- sentative of one of the leading brick companies if there was a good demand for brick this season, He replied: “The demand for brick this season 1s very large. We have not only sold all the brick we have on hand, but now have orders far ahead.” “How does the demand compare with that of last year?” continued the reporter. Tt exceeds that of last year. I cannot give the figures exactly, but they are not only large, but show a big difference in favor of the present sea- son. The orders are for large and sinall amounts, and vary from 2,000 to 250,000. These orders I refer to are for private ‘buildings, and do not include those for government buildings. There 1s another feature,” he continued, “whieh I think worthy of notice, and that is the Market for fine brick 1s improving. Nowadays Rearly every one puts what we call ‘hard brick’ into their buildings. There ts not so great a de- mand for ‘ merchantable brick.’” “ What do you, then, regard the prospect for the season?” inquired the reporter. - “The prospect fs good and the prices are fair,” and the brick man gathered up the reins and drove off to the “yard.” Views of Master Builders. Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Dearing & Johnson, Who 1S president of the Master Builders’ Associa- Uon, told a StaR reporter that there were no differ- ences between the masters and Journeymen, and he saw no indications of any trouble between them. Mr. Dearing, his partner, observed that there was apparently a great amount of work to be done this season. He deprecated the publication of {building bons” by the newspapers, as tt tended tocreate false Impressions among working-men and sUmulate them to make demands not always Warranted by the facts. Last season, Mr. Dearing sald, the master builders, who formed the Master Bullders’ Association, kept thelr agreement with the journeymen, but the journeymen failed In thelr part of the agreement, as they afforded no protection to the masters agatnst employers who cut wages down. His firm haa lost several good contracts last season on account of this agree- ment, belug underbid by employers who were not in thé association, ‘The difference in their bids did not, however, amount to so much as the differ- ence in'the Wages would have been. “I am in favor,” said Mr. Dearing, “of giving them five dollars a day if all employers ean be put upon an equal footing.” Mr. Deering said there was no trouble at present between the eny loyers and employed, but the men were feverish. ‘The trouble among the palnters might possibly spread to other trades. Mr. Win. B. Holtzclaw stated that the indications are that this Wil be a Dig season. Prices would Tange about as they did last year, but might be a Uttle higher on account of the new plumbing reg- ulations, which increase the cost of plumbing very. much—probably 50 per cent. A little more would be asked for brick also. It wag almost impossible to get hand-made brick in the city at present. Builders had been notified this week to estima: hand-made merchantable brick at 8.50. Brick that could be laid on the wall two years ago for $9 how cost $13.50 and $14. Mr. Charles C. Martin, the well-known carpenter and builder, thinks the bullding operations in this elty have bUt just commenced, and that there Will be a succession of fine dwellings follow in regular order, not only in the west end of this city, but all the Way up Rock ereek. He 1s of the opinion that there Will be no great disagreement between the employers and employes so. as to retard the build- ing operations. Some of the materials used in Dulliing are increasing in value in consequence of the unusual demand for it. Hard woods partcu- larly are high, but he thinks the tendency 1s now to tise more painting‘and gratning than last year. Mr. Charles Edmopston, one of our oldest build- ere, states that the outlook for building this sea- sou Is excellent. What the Workingmen Say. A STAR reporter, who canvassed the feeling among the unions representing the building trades, last evening, foynd all well satisfled with the Present condition of things, except the painters, The painters notified the bosses a few months ago and are now on a strike to enforce the demand, and are hopeful of success. One member of the painters’ union told Tue Stak reporter that of 350 Journeymen painters tn the city but 2 are at Work. The carpenters say that they are satisfied, and are getting the same as last year—$3. a day. They do not expect to make any further demands. ‘Trade 1s particularly brisk with the bricklayei who are tn active demand. This ts the cas¢ noi only in this city but elsewhere. Only two places are reported where trade 1s dull, and those are South Carolina and Rochester, N° These re- Forts are made up from the’ condition of affairs during the winter, and it 13 probable that the condition of sffairs has mproved in these places since then. ‘The schedule price 13 $4 a day, but good men pre recelving on private work as much as $5.50 aday. So great is the demand that it 1s stated by members of the craft that men are of- fered advances of 2% and even 50 cents a day to leave one boss and go to another. A man came here from Baltlmore the other day looking for bricklayers and offered $1.75 a day, but it 1s un- derstood, did not succeed well. Gn the new Pen- sion building, where a great many Dricklayers are employed, the wages are $4 a day. The brickinakers are getting $225 aday. ‘They made a demand some time ago for an advance of 50 cents and got % cents aday. ‘There 1s at pres- ent no trouble among them. Complaint was made by some of the membera of the Federation of Lator last night that the boss brickmakers were advancing the price of brick disproportionately, on the plea that their men were demanding high he members of the Plumbers and Gasfitters’ n report that about all their celving the union price of $3.80 aday. The work of the new son has not yet begun with the plumbers, but will be active next month. A great deal of ‘new work left over from lust season ts now giving employment to many men. ‘The tinners report that work with them 1s brisk. They will demand $3 a day the 1st of June, and, 80 far as heard from, all of the bosses have agreed to the terms, The plasterera state that there 1s considerable Work under Way and not more than three or four men unemployed. ‘The plasterers are getting $3.50 & day—the rate that ruled last year—and they have notified the bosses that there will be 10 change this year, All of the representattves of the bullding trades look forward toa busy season. One of the prom- tent men in the workingman’s organization sald last night that the painters are bound to suc in their demands. ‘The bosses could not get co:n- petent men from other cities to fill their places, as Be has recently erected for the owner, W. F. Reamer, two brick houses on the south side of K street, near9th. The lot on which these houses are built has only a depth of 20 feet, and it was thought impossible to erect houses upon it, The houses, however, are erected and occupied. By taking advan of the regutation allowing five feet of the parking for bay windows and 8% feet for towers, the original depth of the lot was in- creased. On theeast and south side the brick walls of residences = come up to the — dividin; line, so that some provision had to be made on these sides for obtain! light and air. This was accomplished by an area in the rear 234 feet wide and on the east side a small alley was left, Inthe basement a hall five feet wide runs the depth of the house to a door which opens into the area. The dining-room, 10x13: feet, occupies the front part of the baseméht ani of tt is the kitchen of the same dimensions. On the second floor. Js the hallway, Into which the fron@pioor opens.

Martin, the bullder, is about to erect for himself stx three-story-and-basement dwell- ings on the south stde of Corcoran street, between 13th and 14th streets northwest. These houses, when completed, will present a very neat appear- ance. They will be finished inside to a great ex- tent tn grained wood—oak and walnut mostly. ‘These houses are built to meet the demand, con- tinuing to increase, for this class of dwellinzs tn that section of the city. The cost will be $28,000. Mr. Martin commenced six houses 20th October, last year, In this same locality, and finished them up 1a March, this year, and ail were sold by the ohn’ Maren”-aetuit cash sales—showing concl sively the progress in property In this locality. Of the six he ts now building for himself, four are already sold and two are now for sale. le A FINE IMPROVEMENT ON N STREET.
