BUILDING SLUMP ELSEWHERE HAS HO EFFECT HERE Permits Continue to Show Gains —Many Homes Going Up, Slump in building operations reported from other cities ’'s not reached Indianapolis. Local observers do not believe the peak has been reached. For the first four months of 1923, permits were issued in Ind.anapolis for buildings to cost $9,867,235 as compared with $6,382,544 for the first four months of 1922, which was considered a boom year. Permits by months this year follow: January. $2.021,138; February. $1,601,282: March, $3,026,839; April, $3,215,970. Home Construction Home building is Increasing rapidly, despite the fact that city directory figures show more than 5.000 homes were constructed during the building boom. During the first four months this year, permits were taken out for 935 frame residences, as compared with 784 tor the coresponding period last year. Each month showed an increase over the previous month. JP'wmlta were taken out for sixty-one 808-fireproof brick buildings, as compared with twenty-nine for the first four months of last year. Apartment construction is keeping pace with home building. This year permits have been issued for sixteen apartment buildings as compared with fourteen for the corresponding period iat year. Eighteen fireproof brick itruotures are being erected, as compared with thirteen last year. Shortage Continues Indications are that the housing shortage In Indianapolis is far from being removed. “We are not anticipating any slump at building,'' Q. D. Haskett, president of the O. D. Haskett Lumber Company, said. “The ,demand for building materials is steady and the cost in Indianapolis Is not prohibitive.” He said that while lumber prices •re 5 per cent higher than this time tast year, they are 3lfc per cent lower than in 1920. Statisticians report the average of building permits in the entire country was 16 per cent lower in April than !r; March. Reports from New York indicate banks and even building contractors are advising against con struction until prices are lower. Reduction of construction work there may release more building material for the Middle West and cause price reductions, it is asserted.
