pronounced Widespread reduction in

labor. and what might be gained in
wage reductions would be lost in
labor efllcicncy It is a fundamental
of human nature that men who are
«forced to work for less money and
thus sacrifice the living standards
which they and their families have,
been accustomed to. will not work
as efiicicntly as where they are sat—
isfied and happy.
“The only circumstances under
which building labor would, I be-
lieve. even temporarily accept pro-
nounced reductions in wages with-
out. sacrificing efficiency would be in
the face of a. sweeping reduction of
all costs of living which would be
an economic phenomenon involving
a. sacrifice of values neither to be ex-
pected- nor desired by the people of
the country. 7
“Evidence is not lacki'ng that
building operations - are , slowing
down somewhat. but there is no
likelihood that this casing of! will
reach a-place where wage scales 'in
the building crafts will fall. If such
reductions should‘ ensue. however.
due to non-employment. present or
possibly highe’r wages would come
with the resumption of active build;
ing operations. To ’argue oterwise
is toficny the influence of human
nature in the solution of economic
problems. '
“The more logical solution“ol.I the
building problem is stabilization 'of
costs at 'apprdidmately present lev-

dences that such a. devciefsncnt is
taking place. The abnormal activi-
ties whieh have been , in evidence,

tions. This cycle of building activ-
ity may be expected to; produce sta-

REAL ESTATE
SALTS DROP
OF [N JULY
Records Show Only 77
Last Month Against
92 in 1923 and 112 in
1922
The real estate sales registered in
Norwaik during the July 1924. ‘show
a. decrease over the same. months in
192:: and 1928. In July, two years
ago. '32 really deals were consumed-
cd, in 1923. 112 sales were listed and
the number in 1924 stands at 77.
While this figure is significant of an
apparent slump in the real estate
market, the results should not he
considered distressing. The fall in
the market of 15 since 1922 and 35
since last year reveals the rise in
prices, or labor and materials and
also shows the notion of the people
today that by waiting. prices will
come down. - - ‘
Contractors are aware that people
are waiting for prices to be reduced
but are unable at the present time
to offer any solution. The matter
does not rest in their power.
These figures compiled from'the
Town‘ Clerk’s files note only the pur-
chase ot new sites. A great number
of homes have been bought during
the past month, the number perhaps
equalling that of former years. This
is added proof that it is the high
rates of labor that are keeping‘the
realty sales down. ' '
A goodly number of sales ‘1)?! 39.1-

.it is expected that the results of
the current month will not go
down the depths reached in July.

ALDERMEN WANT
A GOLF COURSE,
MAYOR DOESN’T
NE“? HAVEN. Aug. 16.~Thc
controversy which was “aged here
for some time over at attempt to
secure land for a municipal golf
course. is likely to be continued it
became known yesterday when it
was announced that a plan was under
way among the members of the
Board of Aldermen. who recently
authorized the purchase of lands for
the purpose. to override the veto of
Mayor Fitzgerald at a special meet-
ing Monday night.
The mayor has announced his
official disapproval of the measure
which provided for a. bond issue of
$32,500 to purchase the property.
The mayor gave no reasons for veto
of the aldermanio order.
Part. of the land. which is situ-
ated on what is known as Fair .‘Ha-
ven. Heights, is in the adjoining
town of East Haven and condemna-
tio proceedings would have be insti-
tuted to take it over for park pur-
poses. it has been claimed.
A question or whether the city
otherwise would have to pay'taxes
on theiand to the town, is one of
the points of contention. The bond
issue. should the aldermen over-
ride the mayor's veto, would have to
be approved by the City Board of
Finance.
