SISSON, of Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. NE of the most serfous of after-war problems for all of the r belligerent na- tions is ‘that of providing for thelr people and bufldings ] offices, stores and factories. all bullding operations, ex- those for war purposes, were d during hostilities. United States, ke every other belligerent, is far behind in its Ing operations. Although the sup- of Dr: ;d' materials in this sufficlent to support the ambitious bullding program here, : c:t. of both labor and mate- inadequacy of transpor- facilities prevent the use of a ‘A MAINE GRANITE QUARRY- THERE IS AN OF: BUILDING STONE IN THE COUN h the work of meetifig the :‘:l,.ld demand for homes and Industrig] Its b throughout the country, dion ¢ for military purpesrs, for which !l sLortage of housl: e allasnce of complate stathictes [no permit was requied ~ Such con. >y fue permin o E * For Quick Returns Use Herald Classified Ads. . ”WQ##@@###@#QQ@fi@###@###fi#fi##fi#fi@#@ SATURDAY SPECIALS AT he New Britain Market Cbmpany B Main Street Tel. 2485 MEAT DEPARTMENT Fresh Killed 1 ROAST ] FOWL i YEAL { ._’)Oc b 35¢ Ib | Lean Boneless | Bast Quéliiy ’ POT ROAST ‘RANKFORTS | | ] ROAST PORK (not frozen) 40¢ 1b Sperry & Barmes BACON 45¢ 1b SALT PORK 25¢ b LAMB 25¢ 1b 25¢ 1b CALVES' PORK LIVER SAUSAGE 35¢ 1b 38c 1b LAMB LAMB ] CHOPS STEW | FORES 40c 16¢ Ib | 25¢ 1b LEGS OF GENUUINE SELECTED LEAN Spring Lamb 38c Ib.

The current demand for materigis, as reflected in permits for new bufld- ings, indicates, when aliywance is made for increased costs, a lewer than nor- mal rate of production. 1ae first four months of 1930 shewed approzimately normal activity, but 1915 was a sig- . nificant decline In Msy, Has.cation in - the industry is general. 'fie statistics froem 105 cities show that the permits for tha month of May o2a irily sre abomt double thore for Jansary. Yet in olf save the Pacific and New Eng- . Jend districts there was a snaller-vol- uma of permits in May of this yeap tdam {n January, and in the two dis- tricts where there was not a decline the increase was relatively small. While the general tardiness of bufld- ing operations is in large part due to hesitation to undertake new bullding at current costs and to the difficulties of financing such undertakings, it may be questioned whether such hesitation is chiefly responsible for the marked decline in May as compared with April of this year. It appears that the trang- portation sitnation is the primary soures of the decline. There is Do gen- " Jeral expectation that by postponing u-mam.m-r-wmmm savings may be realived through future - decitnes in prices. Even should the ‘|leong-desired definite recession in prices FOR CEMENT ol 3 SUPPLY OF CEMENT FOR CONCRETE CON— ' | STRUCTION IS UNLIMITED. shortage, ta terms of the number of houses, kave been made. The United States Forest Service estimates thst the country lacks 450,000 houses. Oth- er estimates range as high as 800,000 and even 1,000,000 houses. The wide variation in size and cost of houses makes it dificalt to define any stand- ard house as s umit of measurement The value of the permits affords a more satisfactory measurement of the building As already indleated, the raw ma- terials for building—timber, clay, ce- ment, iroh, etc—are available in abundance. Unlike the yleld of agri- cultural products, the supply of these mains to consider whether the labor and plant” capacity are sufficlent to make these materials lmpmediately arailadle . In the lumbder industry it is estimat- develop there is much ground for the Dellef that for some time to come bullding costs will show at best only stight declime, apart from temporary fluctuations. As.for the influence of ’" i} credit stringency upon bullding opera- tions, other lines' of business enter- prises are also affected, most of which shew no such marked decline in activi . ty as does the building industry. - Tn some localities there is a general dearth of available building materials. In some localities one or another ma- terial may be found in sufficient quan- titles for the immedlate needs of the building in hand, but other equally es- sential materials are lacking, and In consequence operations are as effec- tively suspended as if all supplies were Iacking.. Brick, for example, is avafla- ble where there is no cement. On the other hand, certain Jumber mills are' 1gle because they are not able to move thelr preduct. It seems that the urgency of the need for new building would warrast a aystem of freight priorities whiéh would serve to increase activity in this essential industry. The problem of priorities is, of course, a very complex one.
