The tendency toward stability was most marked in Denmark and the United Kingdom, where there was a varjation of only 6 and 8 points, respectively. The change in other countries were as follows: Canada, 10 points; India, 11 points; Sweden and Australia, 16 points, The price level for 1922 was lower listed in the table below except Ger- many, where it rose to 143 per cent., and the Uniled States, where it rose In Indja, Japan and Italy there was a difference of less than 8 per cent. between the price levels for 1921 and 1932, in France spread on in liquia | 700,000, | is being built by | Pacific; sre mss -------- sateen WITH REVIEW | Canadian Building According to ail the most reliable Indications, 1923 is going to turn out 8 "boom year" in the Canadian build- ing trades. A busy February al- ways means a July with ail the work that it can comfortably handle, and sometimes ¢ven more. For this rea: son, the wide-spread optimism which prevails today in building circles is more than justified. During Febru- ary, 1923, construction contracts ac- tually awarded In Canada amounted | to $13,311,800, as compared with $10,718,300 for February, 1922 -- an {ncrease of almost 25%. The value of proposed work reported for the first time in February totalled $41, 231,400. It is conservatively predict- ed that at least $365,000000 will be expended on new construction during 1923. All in all, these encouraging figures give us ample reason to be- lieve that the gloomy period of busi- ness depression is now definitely a thing of the past--it has "dled the death" and there are very few who mourn its demise. One cause of this increased activ- ity in building is the stabilization of prices in the industry. As long as costg of construction were dropping, many people put off building for fear of losing money through the shrink- age of existing building values inci- dental to a rapid price deflation. This unsteady condition construction costs {s now at an end. Prices have reached rock bottom and if anything are on the upward trend. On this subject ofprices it is worth while to quote the statement of Mac- Lean Building Reports, itd. : "For municipalities with public utility extensions to install, for business houses with office and manufacturing expansions in contemplation, and perhaps most of all for private apartment house dwellers and remt payers who have long dreamed of a certain little house of their own-- for all these the problem is--Bulld now or wait further possible de- clines in costs? In reply to which a majority of considerations seem to suggest an affirmative answer . . . Labor has settled down to a sound basis of production, and the flow of money into building channels is rapidly increasing. Many of the big projects under way have been under taken only after the investor has come to realize that the major con- ditions In the building fleld are now favorable. There is much wisdom in the advice heing given at the present juncture by architects to their prospective clients--"Build now and avoid the rush!" As has been already pointed out. this situation is particularly encour- aging from the point of view of the "KINGSTON Forecast ior 1923 would-be-home-owner. In spite of all the building that has been going on since the War, a majority of the cities and towng of the Dominion have not yet solved their housing problems. It is therefore Interest- ing to note that $32,854,000 or 21.4% of the February building budget went for residental bufldings. A valueable side-light on the home- building situation is thrown by Mr. M. L. Caton, Vice-President of The Barret Company, Ltd, one of Can- ada's largest manufacturers of all kinds of roofings and roofing mater ials. "Asphalt strip shingles," says Mr. Caton, "are doing their bit to keep down building costs here in the Do- minion. The principal item in the erection cost of any building is, of course, wages to labor. The high wages now paid to many trade are due primarily to a serious shortage of men. As I am most Vitally inter- ested in roofings, I shall confine my- self to that branch of the Industry. "As there ig no near prospect of reducing the present high wages, the burden of cutting down costs lies with the manufacturers. And many of them are bearing this burden no- bly. For example, take the case of prepared shingles. These shingles save money in three ways. First, their Initial cost is much less than many inferior forms of roofing. Sec- ondly, they are fabricated in strips of three .,s0 that a roofer can lay them almost twice as rapidly as sin- gle shingles---there are only one half as many nails to drive. In this respect, we have more than done our part in meei'ng the labor shortage. Thirdly, as these strip shingles are made in three rich natural colors, red, green and blue-black, there is no expense of painting. And a feurth saving occurs when it is only a ques- tion of re-roofing, for strip shingles may be laid right over the old, worn- out wooden shingles. "This four-fold economy has not been achieved as a result of cheapen- ing the product. Thanks to a thick mineral surface firmly imbedded in a heavy felt base, that is both saturat- ed and coated with asphalt these strip shingles possess waterprcof and fireproot qualities in the highest de- gree. And their beauty of appear: ance makeg them an attractive addi- tion to any home. For all these rea- sons, I feel justified in claiming that it every material that goes to make up a finished house were able to of- fer the same serviceability at such a minimum cost as 'ress mineral-faced strip shingles, the hig" cost of home-buflding would have vanished into thin alr."
