BUILDING TRADE SEEK MORE WORK Association Throws Its Support Behind Plan to Stimulate Home Modernization. Members of the Building Trades Employers' Association have organized a movement openly and frankly to secure the largest possible portion of the available work here in the con- struction industry. At the same time this organization has thrown its support behind the plan to stimulate home modernization, remodeling and repair as a maans of providing work for the unemployed | mechanics. By action of the Executive Commit- tee and Board of Governors of the as- sociation. the following has been ;| adopted as an organization policy: “It is resolved that the principal policy of the Building Trades Employ- ers’ Association for the year 1932 shall be to establish every possible condition that would tend to increase the oppor- tunity for our members to secure & greater proportion of all available business. “To this end it is reaffirmed that 8 principal object of this association is that members shall deal together in every instance that it is possible to arrange & mutually satisfactory con- tract. “It is further resolved that no rule of this association shall be construed to create any impractical restrictions to fairly conducted business negotia- tions.” REALTY ACTIVITY GAINS The monthly index of real estate activity, compiled by the National As- sociation of Real Estate Boards, shows a rise for December. The December index figure is 64.5. The November figure was 59.0. The index is based on official re- ports of the number of deeds recorded during the month in 64 cities. The number of deeds recorded in the cor- responding month of 1926 is taken as the norm in the computation. G STAR, WASHI) IMPROVEMENTS AID IDLE OF 32 CITIES Campaign Stimulates Trade . and Results in Raising of Housing Standards. By means of campaigns for home improvement, 32 American cities ef- fectively reduced local unemployment and succeeded in stimulating trade last year, while at the same time raising housing standards. Attention was called to this fact today in an announcement that the President’s Conference on Home Build- ing and Home Ownership had set up a national clearing house for informa- tion on reconditioning of the home and on community campaigns designed for that purpose. A continuing conference Committee on reconditioning, Remodeling and Modernization, under the chairman- ship of Frederick M. Feiker, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has been organized for this educational work, ‘The committee is prepared -to furnish information to help home owners make repairs wisely and economically and also to furnish plans for campaigns based on the successful experience of cities such as Muncie, Ind.; Pawtucket, R. I, and Greensboro, N. C. The campaign in Muncie, a city of approximately 46,000 population and 11,000 homes, increased employment in the building trades from 30 per cent to 80 per cent last year, caused & third“of a million dollars to be spent on needed improvement and measurably increased the general morale as well as the appearance of the city. Com- parable results were obtained in Pa tucket, a city of 75000, The expendi- ture there amounted to $750,000. Greensboro spent nearly $200,000 on the improvement of its homes and largely solved its unemployment problem. “Home improvement campaigns -g| pear to offer every community a col structive means of helping itself,” said Mr. Feiker in announcing tire reorgani- zation of his committee. “They supply work and create trade, they are busi- ness activities and not appeals for charity. they cost little and they pay the people they inspire to act. The man who puts his home in repair gains triply—in physical comfort, in pride of possession and in improved property value. Our committee estimates the annual waste resulting from property depreciation and obsolescence in country at $3,000,000,000. ‘At the present moment the country 1419 Spring Road N.W. Greatly Reduced!

The char- acter of the neighborhood, the future needs of the family and the house and grounds as a whole should all be taken into consideration before work is be- gun. This will insure against spending more than the property value justifies on remodeling and also against doing one job which is later found not to fit in with the plan as s whole. = e “It is the purpose committee to furnish such information. A home inspection list, by which the home owner may determine what his dwelling needs to have done to it, is one of the publications now available.
