DOWNTOWN EDIFICE, 88 YEARS OLD, IN HANDS OF WRECKERS, D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, IOFFICE BUILDING HALT : | IS HELD NECESSITY End of Program for Next Three Years Regarded No Decrease in Jobs. 1931. A recess in the construction of large | office buildings and apartments for at least three years is one of the factors | necessary to bring relief to the present real estate bond situation, according to | the views expressed today by H. R. Dan- iel of New York City. “A let-up in the construction of apart- | ment_houses and office buildings in all our lendlng cities for at least three years would not mean necessarily more unemployment,” said Mr. Danfel. “There is at least $4,000,000 worth of public | construction in this country that has| been designated as necessary by more than 250 chambers of commerce lo- | cated in the cities where such require- ments exist. There is also a constant | need for alterations in bulldings, and | there is no fundamental reason why a | vigorous program of private home con- | struction should not be prosecuted while building costs are at their present low levels. “But in the matter of apartment houses and office bulldings the law of | supply and demand has been violated, | REAL ESTATE, * B—5§ Leipsic Bank Is Closed.
