To the figure established by new work must, of course, be added an estimate overing remodeling and alterations. This is presented in more detail in later pa aphs. In order that some detailed measure may be had anticipated building activity during the year 1927, the architects’ reports nave been cor- refated and weizhted for presentation to the accompanying table, which shows the expected activity in. 19 types of buildings, allocated to six divisions of the country. This tabu- lation shows a total of $4,856,817,500, which, it is believed, represents the approximate value of the new ‘con- struction which will be planned and executed in 1927 through architects. In addition, there will be several hun- dred million dollacs expended - for small residences In rural districts, which do not come within the archi- tect’s scope of service, together with & large volume nd A part by the architec recorded in this fore, the fore $6.,000,000,000. is quite probable th of the decr of which is handled but which is not ible.

Better Hmlsinz‘l)enired. Of course, one of the principal rea- mons for the great volume of building mctivity during 1926, and as antici- pated for 1927, is the desire of the public for better housing of all kinds and for a more modern and attractive environment in which to carry on commerciat and institutional functions We must also take into consideration the rapid establishment of new residential districts (due to transportation improvements) and the growing habit of developing new business centers in the larger cities— areas where certain trades are becom- ing concentrated. This tendency is noteworthy, not only in New York, but in practically all of the larger cities in the countr i Coupled with these greatly increased standards of social and commercia housing conditions, there is the sig- nificant fact that the continued period of prosperity has placed the public in a position to pay for what it wants th the way of new buildings In spite of comments, there appears at present no great dan ger of overbuilding. because, after all, the building demand of this country is not primarily for space alone, but for space of a satisfactory quality. Here, then, we find conditions which are certainly discouraging from the viewpoint of owners of old buildings, particularly those swhich physi or because of local conditions, ar proaching the state of ohsolescence, The competition of new buildings natu will be 100 great to sustain values in old structures, but it is prob- able that the new buildings them selves will not suffer materially, ex cept in isolated instances of a tempo. rary satiation the entire automotive buildir club and fraternal munity and memor pitals, commercial stores, theaters and w will be constructed ir the same proportion construction as was the A considerahl oeeasions United ban bu Al bu States, new buildings dings, com dings, hos- buildings, schools, fare building approximately total new 1926 increase is anticipated in the building of apartment hotels ~hurches and public build ment buildings will reg larger proporti ction than in 192 r case i new Hotel Construction Less, of abl figu construction pre new hotels 20 per cent es of 1926. uction last fig. bly ons| neluded h failed failure in financing too higk number mater’ programs in Flo many ho tels whict uall eached e foun Ancdon not completed he canes Of the boom. stmilariy “drives” failed becau mind was evi dently t¢ 1+ point which should be arefu! tehe in relation to any new hotel project, and one which the hotel industy watch care- tully for The estimate of a greater demand States for mately the lantie instance pse o the proje large 1 ding shows ortheastern 6. approxi North At about lmately the same in the South Sl 19 the m of stern same in States; a red »f industrial -bullding {fixtures -have been installed nsiderable program of re- | offices, committee rooms and audi- | to ! ow 1926. | western States: less than half the de mand in the Middle States (where vast amount of new construction { been carried out). and appre | the same in the Western | comparative demand f { buildings in the United States fo {is probably one-third less than | indicated for 1 A reduction of approximately 15 per | cent is expected in new construction ! contracts let for industrial buildings such as factories and warehouses Dwellings under $10.000. which made u approximately one billion dollars of last v total, will probably show L 20 per cent reduction in : y while the construction of over £10,000 will be about less. awellings 10 per cent Apartments in Favor. The above deductions, as taken from the large number of individual reports, seem to be quite in accordance with changing trends of public demand for new buildings. The increased activity in apartment hotel building, for in stance, is a definite reflection of a change in the mode of living which seeks convenience and comfort with out the responsibilities of operating large individual dwellings. Thus, it is anticipated that there will be a definit. increase in the number of co-operative apartment buildings, and no decrease in the volume of high-class apartment construction. To sum up the general impressions of this forecast, it is'apparent that 1927 will be another year of consider- able prosperity for the building in dustry and that ecoomic conditions will provide both the demand and the means to add to the vast contribution to the Nation’s total of well built structures.

Mr. Petty said, in part “It is just impossible today to attain a large measure of success in the realty field by pursuing methods 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, it to attempt success in factory enterprise with the machinery of 1906, or in the re tail mercantile field by use of the limited methods, equipment, service and standar f a decade ago.

It would be mere repetition for us to bring out again how much each visitor is worth to a communit Those facts are today too well known. They are sc well known that, instead of 25 or 30 cities seeking by every possible means to obtain this transient business, virtually every city in the country of almost any size is organ- izing or has been organized with this purpose in view. One hundred and twenty-five convention bureaus were ablished during the past year. 15,000 Groups Meet. It is conservatively estimated that | not less than 15,000 international, na- | tional and State organizations meet somewhere annually in the United tates. Many convene year after year in the same city, under rule of their bylaws. State organizations naturally meet always in one or an- other of the municipalities within the confines of their gwn State. Cempe- tition for all of this business, however, grows keener and keener month by month, as definite figures prove the great benefits’ derived through the group or mass gathering generally knéwn as conventions. This is recog- nized by a few of the cities maintain- ing the older bureaus to the extent that even the municipal authorities— St. Louis, for example—appropriate substantially toward the financial sup- port of their local bureau. From every direction come reports of increasing investment in this form of city building, with renewed asser. tions that it pays a multitude of tangible and intangible dividends to the community at large and to indi- vidual business interests likewise.
