C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1936 BUILDING GAINS ON COAST CITED Revival in Home Construc- tion Reported Already at Hand in West. Home building is going ahead so rapidly on the Pacific Coast that suffi- cient building' mechanics cannot be found by contractors for the work al- ready on their books, it was stated to~ day by Alfred B. Swinerton of San Francisco. Swinerton is one of the leading con- tractors of the Coast and is regional director of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration. He came to Washington to report on conditions in his territory to Stewart McDonald, Federal housing administrator. - “Apparently the country as a whole is on the brink of a great building re- vival,” Swinerton said, “but it has arrived already on the Pacific Coast, and has reached the point where there are no building mechanics available for new work. While the demand will attract labor from other fields and other areas, it will take a long time for supply to catch up with demand even at a constantly accelerating rate.” San Francisco and other Pacific Coast centers are prospering along al- most all lines, Swinerton said, in spite of such handicaps as the maritime troubles. He thinks they are slightly behind the industrial centers of the East and Middle West generally, how- ever, while considerably ahead of them in the building industry. Depression “Definitely Over.” *“The depression definitely is over,” he said. “Profits of Pacific Coast in- dustries are satisfactory, but not as great as many concerns in the East. In bullding, however, it is & different story. “Qur quota under the program of the Federal Housing Administration was 8 per cent of the country's total quota up to the present. We have accounted for 20 per cent of the busi- Housing Administration. “Among Coast leadership in the program is the co-operation of financial institu- sibilities of the program at the be- ginning. They qualified under Fed- tions to make both modernization and home mortgage loans. But that is not all. They actively sold the program to their customers and communities. They have built up their business | through this aggressiveness and they ness on the books of the Federal the reasons for Pacific eral Housing Administration regula- | modernization credit plan stops on April 1, 1937.” F. H. A. Receives Credit. Revival of interest in home-property improvement and home ownership is credited by Swinerton in large meas- ure to the fact that the Federal Hous- ing Administra has made the American public home-conseious and has provided an easy and sound means of financing them. - “But its influence goes beyond mere stimulation of home demand, impor- tant as that may be.” Swinerton said. “In the Summer of 1934, revival of the building industry was the imme- diate job in hand—and that job was done. At the same time, the oppor- tunity was seized to establish high standards for home design, home con- struction, minimum- requirements for light, air and sanitary facilities; neighborhood planning and other items which affect the value of & home. “Whether a builder finances a home under the insured mortgage system or through other means, the sheer force of competition makes him meet or come close to the standards of the | homes which are built under our pro- | gram. And on the Pacific Coast, as | elsewhere in America, the home-buy- ing public is coming to demand the | Federal Housing Administration’s stamp of approval.” ALL-GLASS WAREHOUSE GOES UP IN MIAMI Show Room Included in Ultra- Modern Structure With 27,000 Feet of Floor Space. A virtually all-glass warehouse and show room, ultra modern in design, is being built by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. in Miami. The building is located on the corner of Biscayne boulevard one block south of the Causeway, main traffic artery to Mi- ami Beach, and will contain a total floor space of 27,000 square feet.
