House Building

Bargain Hunter Must Act Today

A I.L FORCES CON SPIRE TO BRINO l«K K-BOTTOV1 PRICKS IN Hot SING FI Kill

Today’s l.tildinK dollar 'will purcha o $1.10 to $1.20 worth of house as compared with the purchasing power of tA 1 ‘■ame monetary un 't i llst a little o/er a year a^o. This may seem a Wt taitliriK to the average home builder, but the far Us underlying the situuti n are a no,*.,mil phase

of the pi' sent period.

The forci of economic i ireumstance has served to reduce the eo> ts of practically all met hantahle <|uantities, including “si and hips and sealing wax,” labor, builditiK materials and cat pi t tu 1. Hence, if he has a little n; ,ney oi m arrange to* borrow It, the wise policy for the proHpective home owner i- to build now, wlhile the buildinif is K"o'l. and not to wait a round for later regrets when, prices rise. The man who builds now j»ains the additional advantage of lower interest chances on the relatively snvill-

er invested capital.

s ru tion now are present in the fieldof real eftate and finance. Generally, the real estate market has been in the doldrumj and good building sites are availabU at* bargain prices. The money .tupply is plentiful enough to insure favorable consideration of sound mortgages. Incidently, the financial forces are not inclined toward speculative building-hence quality cons', ru*. tion must ** pvereciuisite.

Newland, state geol-,gi-t, believes. Newland, in an interview pointed out the fact that water now descends over a new suiface of rock that may not lie as hard as the original.

and April, when the usual seasonal rush f building begins. The moral, then, is to take advantage of the present moment. But reduced building prices do not present the only reason for construction at this time. The unemployment situation ha presented an unusual opportunity to . ecu re plentiful labor, and the general slow-up in construction activity for seasonal causes has released many a yood contractor for

work.

The old bugaboo about the inadvisability of winter construction has been largely deflated, due to the development of tru-tural technique which assures the builder of perfect results even though winter howls about his project. Concrete, which performs many important functions in the modern dwelling-, can be made |

The bountiful dinner in the old dinning room carried out the family traditions and the conversation naturally was savory of reminiscence. Am ng other discussions a May Day pageant in the beautiful woods near the old school house was recalled. Mrs. James Hays, so well known ir. our community, then known as Ella James, at sweet sixteen was th( queen. The gills in white, led by a marshal of the day, with sash, staff and high hat, carried baskets of flowers. This was a large country school for the time, for children of al 1 ages, besides lots of young men and w men were in attendance. The mar-hal of this May Hay pageant was Arthur Allen, a brother of Charles Allen, lately deceased. The procession formed at the school house with the -mailer children leading and the queen with her attendants bring ing up in the rear. They marched to a little pavilion in the woods where they strewed flower- for her majesty and she was duly crowned. A picnic dinner closed the festivities.
