While the average unit of building cost was rising from $100 to nearly $270, the average unit of rental was progressing from | $100 to about $160. These comparisons, founded on figures drawn from the entire country, represent national aver- ages. There were variations in given sections both above and be- low the figures quoted. In the latter part of 1920 the costs of construction lw'gan to de- cline. The fall continued sharply throughout 1921. We find now, in 1922, that rents and building costs are once more in almost their normal relation. The time has come again when a man may in- vest money in building and expect a fair return on his investment. There is every reason to believe that this condition will continue indefinitely, and that the next five years will witness unparalleled building activity as the country labors to make up its deficit in stores and residences. For the man who is skilled in the building trades, there will be continuous and profitable employment for years to come. E building boom that is sweep- ing the country follows logi- calfy in the wake of falling costs of construction. Prevalling rent rates are again 'bearing a just ratio to the cost of building, and the erection of new stores and residences is once more a profit- able investment. These facts are clearly shown by statistical studies recently completed by a group of nationally known economists. The chart shown above demon- strates graphically the " reasons back of the $2,000,000,000 build- ing shortage which the country is now beginning to make up with new construction. At the end of 1914 the costs of buflding began to soar. Rents rose, too, but not fast enough to offer a fair return m the price of new buildings. The -rection of stores and residences hecame a poor investment. Few persons were willing to risk their capital in vetures offering no pros- pect of adequate dividends. This condition continued from 1915 un- til almost the beginning of this year. The ‘‘peak” of construction costs came in 1920. For purposes of comparison, the price level of 1914 is placed at “100.” It will be noted that the curve in 1920 approached “270.” In other words, work that had cost $100 in 1914 SARAZEN GOING WELL ational Open Golf Champion is Two Today's A B B B C C C C [o) C [ [o} [ C Cu L 15 City ltems Miss Margaret Fussari of 13 Rhodes {street has returned home from the local hospital wheré she unaerwent an operation for appendicitis a short | time ago.
