BUILDING NEWS |B-1 f rommmm—— Home-Owning and Building Section for Washington and Suburbs I CONSTRUCTIO N INDUSTRY PREPARING FOR BOOM Hope to Be Ready to Go Ahead When Pres ns Public Works Bill Releasing $3,300,000,000. Sigi =5 BY VINCENT O dent | TUTCHING. N every frent *he construction industry—veritable pivot of all | industry—is sitting up and taking no as unparalleled opportunities lying jus This enthusiastic outlook for the e of what it regards ahead. mmediate future is seen | as a direct outgrowth of the administration’s assault on the depres- | sion in the form of the $3,300,000,00 gram. When the President affixes his sig- |~ nature to the huge public works bill, Teleasing tne vact sum of money into the channels of the construction in- dustry, and thus revitalizing all trade, the Nation's building and planning in- terests expect to be prepared to go shead. Already a joint Nation-wide surv of needed public works is under w bx the American Institute of Archi- tects, the Construction League and the Associateg General Contractors. This Study, feiowing the plan of a canvas made by the State of Ohio, is intended to sscertain the construction needs of evely section of the country. Appeals to Architects. The architects of the country, through the American Institute of Ar- _thitects, are being called on to “grasp he opportunity that is knocking at our Jdoor for the first time in our his- tory.” Ernest J. Russell of St. Louis. president of the institute, has sent an appeal to 67 chapters of the organiza- tion to aid in this endeavcr Indorsing the plan, Rcbert D. Kchn, president of the Construction League. points out that “the selection of pubiic works in our country has been left to chance. It is about time we got to work on a saner policy. This is surely a good beginning. Some time or other the same theory will be applied to pri- vate construction as well.” A. C. Tozzer, president of the As- sociated General Contractors, declared. in urging the contractors of the Na- tion to support the plan, that the roblem of what to build end where to uild it must be met in a definite, busi- messlike way. In his appeal to the architects, Mr. Russell said: “When President Rocsevelt signs the national industrial recovery act great| activities will be started elmost imme- | diately. What part will the construc- tion industry take in this tremendous | program? It will have to act and it| should do =o voluntarily. | | President’s Powers Broad. | “The powers granted the Presidént| under the act are broad and therr Is| no doubt that he will exercise iFem | as quickly as possible. The constfuc- | tion incustry should be in a pos®ion | to give authoritative infermation a8 to construction needs throughout the en- tire country, and should have the ‘wn-| plete list of items that will affect €very branch of the industry. Ohio has fom- | pleted a survey that might well serve | as a_model fcr every other State. | “The Federal Employment suhmu-‘ tion Board has complete information | @s to the nceds of the Federal Gov-| ernment for the next 10 years, but| States and their political subdivisions are sadly lacking in information of this character. Steps should be taken immediately to gather accurate infor-| maticn as to needs if an intelligent | program of construction is to be for- mulated. “The Governors of a number of States have already taken the initia- tive by apoointing committees or com- missions that are expected to €o-op- | erate with the Federal Government. Engineers to Get Busy. “The National Committee for Trade Recovery has been active in a number | of localities and has this information in an advanced stage. The American | Society of Civil Engineers has called | upon its local sections to get busy, and the Associated. General Contractors | have notified their local chapters in| much the same manner. | “The members of the American In- stitute of Architects are now cfllled‘ upon not only to co-operate with these other agencies, but, are also requested | to bring the matter to the attention of State officials and point out to them the desirability of being able to present to the Federal Government an intelli- gent and well considered list of needs along constructicn lines. | “The States that are already prepared will undoubtedly receive the first bene- fits under the new act, and the other States will be recognized as soon as they can demonstrate that they have a thorough grasp of their own particu- 3ar problems.” “As long as the Government is about #o spend vast sums of money on useful | ‘works,” Mr. Kohn writes in the Archi-| ectural Forum, “we ought to help to| put the whole program on a new basis. | There should be no delay in choosing | things that are ready to go ahead at | once. The thoroughgoing survey that has been made in Ohio is a splendid | example of how to begin. For the| present our problem is mainly con- cerned with public improvements, hous- nd slum clearance. This try-out ublic works will teach us much| t\we need to learn.” Urgeés State Commissions, ery man in the ru industry to use his influ- ence in having the governor of each State appoint a commission similar to the one appointed in Ohio, and to co- Operate to the fullest in carrying out whatever program is adcpted. “While pregrams of short and long term planning have been discussed and worked over,” he said, “truly small have been the results achibved when one considers the problem as a whole. To mird Ohio has been particula in the way this problem I pproached.

The principle of long-term financ- ing, as incorporated in the administra- | tion’s home mortgage bill, was in- dorsed this week by Martin R. West, vice president of Weaver Bros., Inc., realtors. in the legislation providing for this financing as an example to be followed by home owners generally, whether or not they have intention of secking Fed- eral relief. The relative merits of the 15-year amortization and the 3-year straight loan plans were not even made sub- jects of debate when the measure was before the Senate or House, Mr. West points out. He says: “Th: wide publicity given the home mortgage bill, with its long-term repay- ment provision, as it passed through| in it, or a combination sink and laun- | both branches of Congress into con- ference, attracted the lively interest of many home owners to whom here-| tofore this class of financing meant would be insulated and if the house is | cnly confusion. This is attested by| the increasing number of inquiries be- ing received by local home financing | ccmpanies. Sees Change of Attitude. “That it requires even in normal buyer to pay off his mortgage is com- | mon kncwledge. Moreover, fully 95/ per cent of the home buyers are well aware at the time they make their purchase that they cannot possibly pay out in three years. They realize that | there inevitably will be renewals or replacements, and that these subse- quent contracts may run costs up to a | point where borrower may be com- | pelled to pay expenses greatly in excess | of those originally agreed upon.” | Mr. West believes that the trying economic times have likewise had a strong influence in changing the atti- tude of many home owners on the gen- eral subject of financing. “Many have learned that short-time loans put the home owner at the mercy of conditions cbtaining at the time of renewal,” he says. “They have learned that at the most critical periods heavy | curtails may be demanded. They now know that second trusts under such conditions are out of the question and that hurried financing is always diffi- cult and often impossible. It is this unhappy cambination of unfcreseen and counts for a heavy percentage of fore- | Many Mortgages Paid. “Hundreds of Washington families, however, paid off their mortgages dur- ing the last 12 months'and other hun- dreds of homes will be cleared of debt | during the coming year, in spite of | drastically curtailed income. | “By arranging at the outset to repay | their loans over a 15-year period they avoided the expense and uncertainty incident to renewals They placed | themselves in a position where they could not be called upon at the end | of three years for repayment, perhaps | at a time of spocial financial stress. | In other words, they applied safety-first | principles to their home buying. “A Nation-wide survey recentiy com- | pleted by a building and loan associ- | ation shows that about 2 per cent of | all mortgages held by such institutions were cleared during the unsettled days of 1932. -In normal times such clear- ances approximate 3 per cent a year. All of the loans made by building and loan associations were for, long terms and other home financing corporations | operating along like lines reported | about the same proportion of final set- tlements. This would appear to prove that home buying under protective financing remains among the safest of investments.” Although Manhattan is known as the the average of skyscrapers, height of buildings on the island only five and three-quarter storles, according to a map prepared as part of | borough an_exhibit of realty, land and building | data collected by emergency workers tc be shown in New York June 12 to 16. ond the dining room at the other.

The tone color of the President’s new pool in the White House is a revival of architectural tints used thousands | of years ago. Hundreds of combinations of glazed colors were developed and fired in the kilns in an effort to secure an effect complementary to the iridescent, re- freshing appearance of water out o. doors. The result was the creation of hree new high-fire colors, which in addition to bluish green and royal blue will give an aquamarine effect of dig- nity and beauty. The pool is 50 feet by 15 feet and the depth ranges from 4 feet to 8 feet.

PARKING LOTS HURT CITY REAL ESTATE TAX Razing of Houses to Make Way for Autps Protested by Realty Board. . Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, June 10—The demo- lition of houses to make way for auto- mobile parking lots, of which the most | | recent example is the projected razing | {of what was once the residence of, Johns Hopkins, is causing a shrinkage | of the city's taxable basis, according to |a protest filed with city officials here | by the real estate board. | In the case of the Hopkins home, the taxable value of the land is fixed at| $57,050 and the building at $10,000. Next year's assessment books will show elimination of the house and a consequent reduction of the taxable basis by $10,000. The viewpoint is be- ing advanced, however, that in such| cases the use of the land for parking autos should involve an increase of the taxable basis of the land.
