This Is Opinion Of Fred
mics Will Help Home
Owners, However
Those who are looking for a gen-
eral reduction in building costs in
the near future will be disappointed.
according to the ”views expressed
yesterday by Fred J. Hodges. local
contractor.
"As the fall
season approaches
the expectation
upon the part of many that build-
ing costs are coming down." aid
Mr Hodges. "\Vhile there a al-
ways certain fluctuations in the costs
of building materials. these advances
and recessions are in large measure
brought about through temporary
local conditions affecting prices in
certain sLecitlc products. The mar-
ket for building materials is. or
course. affected by general business
conditions. which means that while
there may be some depression With
the slowing up of business and in-
dustry there likewise comes a gain
'in prices with the resumption of
more active conditions.
"It is to be borne in mind. how-
ever. that economics in building are
possible through increhsed efficiency.
By a. closer scrutiny of building op~
crations and a more careful and
scientific planning of buildings,‘ it is
often possible to produce a. property
at a much lower cost than would
be the case if these intensive effi-
ciency methods had not been ap-
pied.
"This fact is becoming more gen-
erally understood as methods of
economy and cfliciency are evolved
out of the necessities of the post-
war situation. In large apartment
house construction this development
is especially pronounced. Without
any sacrifice of convenience or com-
fort. scientific builders are creating
a. more compact type of home than
formerly prevailed. while in com-
mercial structures means have been
