\" “B—2 *» GAIN IN SUBURBAN BUILDING IS SHOWN Construction in Fredericks- i burg Proper Drops, but I Rises in Outskirts. By the Associated Pre FREDERICKS! , Va., February 11.—] es now available -here show that, although expenditures on building operations in Fredericksburg proper de- to their lowest level in eight years, during 1932, the sum expended within the city and the immediately sub-joined sections is comparable to the best years of the immediate past. Building operations in Fredericksburg proper_amounted to only $108,513 last year, the report of City Manager L. J. Houston, jr., said. In "1931 building construction totaled $163277. In the ak year, 1927, the total spent on gfxuding construction was $521.200. Last year's decline was represented mostly in lack of residential buildings erected. Only 17 permits for this class of building were recorded, as against an average of 25 for the past several years ‘There were 11 permits for business building—slightly more than the aver- | age. Cost of construction per building, both residential and business, declined. Bullding operations immediately ad- Jacent to Fredericksburg, including a hew hotel, costing $125,000, and an ad- ditional $150,000 industrial plant, brought the total construction figure ot the city and its immediately agja- cent territory to $383,000.

NEW YORK, February 11.—When the owner of a busness finds that gon- ditlons have changed in his neighbor- hood, his problem is to insure a con- tinuance of trade under the new condi- tions. The case of a hotel that found @ successful answer to this groblem is the Hefild Square Hotel, New York, which has become engulfed by the flow ©f shopping. Desir! to key its service to its changed environment, it employed Francis Keally, an architect, who made & careful study to determine what type of environment would attract most favorable attention in this busy shop- ping center, and knowing the reverence of moderns for the past, designed a 1 restaurant. The management quickly caught the spirit of his archi- tectural treetment and carried it out. ‘The restaurant has shown a profit from the day it was opened.

NEW YORK, February 11.—The bat- tle of the unemployed to find shelter has created a healthy individualismi in building, according to Harry A. Wolfe, an artist, who has studied the shanties the unemployed have built against the assaults of Winter. In spite of the odd assortment of ma- terials that go into jungle houses, Wolfe says, writing in the American Archi- tect, they reveal a harmonlious feeling and a refreshing departure from the town’s straight line. Concerned in the elemental need of shelter, in many in- stances, they reveal a pride in_handi- work which still lives through mis- fortune. “Here,” the writer says, “harmony comes not from that pigeon-hole same- ness modern housing delights in, but from local materials, honestly used. Individualism finds freest expression, but no home grates your senses because seen with its neighbor. Some shanties are solid, and some rather flimsy; some roofs are not more than 2 feet above ground, but where differing shapes cause chaos to threaten. color comes in B & ungle n Desid a_group of louses e Puget Soun:. WO{fe says: “In this village, against the cold gray of the sea, are rich, soft, earthy colors in gorgeous array. Iron, well rusted, is vivid sienna; wood ranges from ochre to orange and brown. These with red brick stand boldly forth from the gray of concrete and tin, sand and sea. Clumps of grass and of bushes lend contrasting color, relieving these hues. “Philosophical _folk, these jungle dwellers seem. Some, it is true, are embittered by the loss of earthly goods; yet, for most, hope and courage still are living things.” RESIDENCES LEAD ARLINGTON BUILDING New Homes Comprised 12 Times as Much as Business Construc- tion in 1932.

During the same year the esti- mated total for new buildings, exclu- sive of public works and utilities, in the entire United States was $718,632,000; hence it is seen that modernization work during 1932 was 27 per cent as large as new work.” .
