Enormous basement wil SEPTEMBER 1928." D. A. Garber, Washington, general manager of the A. G. C., declared today. “The construction industry is far from being on a sound business basis," he continued. “Men who probably would be better saxophone players than contractors are operating in the in- dusty as a result of false credit con- ditions which permit them to secure materials and equipment without ques- ‘REATL ESTATE. tion of their financial positions. Blind worship of the low bid by the public enables these “fly-by-night” operators to secure jobs. The results are default- ed contracts, skimpy construction, de- lays in completion and arguments and disputes that often drive all hands conerned into lengthy and unneces- sary sesslons in court.” Colored Section Is Promoted.
