‘BLOT’ CONCRETE FOR HARDER SURFACING

They found the paper, unrolled on the spillway concrete while it was still soft, drew out excess moisture and allowed an bubbles to escape from the drving mixture. There is a double-action effect. The concrete dries more evenly, the fiber board remaining moist and protecting the surface The resulting spillway surtaces were satin-smooth., Tests ihaicated that the concrete was unusually hard and wear-resistant.

FHA Expects Little if Any Letdown From Figure For First Half.

Little if anv letdown in Middle Western home building is expected from the substantial increases made during the @rst six months of this year over a similar 1939 period. This was forecast today by Frank Piclsticker, FHA execlitive assistant for Indiana, after a survey in Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri. I'wo factors are back of his prediction: (1) The steadily mounting volume of applications for FHA mortgage insurance on new homes in these states the first half of this fvear tin the face of very disturbing European news.” and (2) the upsurge in small home building necessary to keep pace with the demands or living quarters brought about by the defense program in certain sections of the Middle West, notably Indiana Mortgage insurance applications for the first six months of 1940 total 23.677 involving $108.879.878 in these seven states compared to 20,422 applications for $92,691 896 in the same 1939 period. This is a rise of about 15 per cent. The bulk of FHA mortgage business in this area continues to be in the 85000-87000 class with no drastic change in the desire for conventional types of architecture. A slight trent has developed recently toward the modernistic type of structure in higher priced homes, Chief recent development has been the effort of private lending agencies, builders, architects and similarly interested groups to meet sweet the demands for adequate lowerpeat priced homes for the thousands engaged in the Qoefense pre ogram

FUGARD PREDICTS ‘BACK TO CITY" MOVE

A return of population to urban arcas is predicted hy John R Fugard of Chicago, treasurer of the American Institute of Architects As factors effecting this Mr. Fugard lists: Increased taxes, an increasing demand for public services, a rise in the median age, smaller-sized families and the accompanying demand for family units of a more compact and economieal size, These, he saves, will result in a definite trend of populations back to urban areas, where economy of living, cheapness and eMciency of transportation, and proximity to employment are basic factors “Thus,” he continues, “it may be expected that the dismal marginal arcas of downtown districts again will become producers of financial return through rehabilitation and become properly planned residential aress where there will be gracious and genial living conditions. “Herein lies the challenne to | planners for it is only then that one mav expect to see the permaneney of downtown business areas become established and the process of decentralisation halted.”

REPLACE COLUMNS INFESTED BY BEETLES

When wooden eolumns on porches are infested by powderpost beetles they should be replaced, either completely or in part, depending on the extent of the damage Other woodwork in the neighborhood should be examined. If only a few should ke dropped into them with a medicine dropper.

Price Rises Are I Expected From U.S. Defense Program

duce has been increased enormously. Our highly developed synthetic and organic chemical industries are

almost wholly new since 1914, insure us production of nearly all essential raw materials. Deprivation of European imports will not seriously dislocate enterprises as it did in 1914. We have checks we did not have before on prices. We have ceased to be a debtor nation, and have established a gold reserve sufficient to be a base for expanding enterprise. 7. Careful consideration given in our industrial mobilization plan to placing munitions orders over as wide an area as possible will operate to further decentralize industry. 8. As the war and our rearmament program crowd out civilian needs from existing plants, numerous opportunities will be afforded for location of factories producing ordinary consumables. 9. Prices for residential properties will rise with any large advance in industry, but: not as rapidly and perhaps not as high as in the last war. Older residential properties may be expected to have better demand 10. Particularly in locations, business trend upward

During and after the World War, George C. Smith, 8t. Louis analyst, studied the effects of four years of hostilities on American business and real estate Later his studies of industrial and traffic congestion and decentralization were used by the War IndusBoard as a basis for issuing permits for new plant construction Now Mr. Smith has felt the pulse of the national defense program He gives his diagnosis in a brochure published by the brokers division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards Highlights of his report include: 1. Prices may be expected to rise We have entered a period of expandrd credits, increased outputs 2. Our national income may be expected to rise It will depend somewhat unon the duration of war, our own non-participation, and the extent to which trade remains closed tp others, open to us 3. If the Army and Navy “educational orders” proRrams are carried out, it not probable that many completely new industrialdevelopment opportunities will result ag an immediate outcome of war orders. But a large indirect result should follow Under any circumstances an active industrial real estate market will follow 4 Advanced buying against anticipated needs and purchases made in fear that supplies may pive out means an increase in storage requirements Refusal of some basic industries to make price committments bevond short perinds, also is causing increased use of storage space 5. Markets surrendered by the warring nations offen our producers unusual opportunities to expand their foreign trade. 6. Beeause of important changes it is impossible for the economic history of the Warld War to repeat itself. America’s eapacity to pro-
