Thsi comparison ahows that 1926
was slightly ahead of this year In
building. However, thi la not sur

The large number of big Vulldlngs
started in 1926 was responsible tor
It.' Many of these Jobs were not
finished until well into 19 2T; The
First National Bank Is an Instance
of thlev As a matter -of fact, the
number of residences built in 1926
exceeded the number constructed
in 1927 by a handsome margin.
; Present indications are that Sa
lem's building program has just
begun. -With enlf a population of
25,000 people it would seem- that
big - growth -a Tery , . rapid
growth must start, very soon. The
capital city of ?the state with all
the potential resources and oppor
tunities there are here this city
should be a city of fifty or a hun
dred thousand people It looks as
if we may start in that direction
moat any time now.
: Difference In cost between brick
and frame construction was; very
definitely determined, recently In
Denver, Colorado, wfcere a cost
survey : of email house construc
tion was conducted by the Moun
tain Division Office of the Arenl-
tectsr Small House Service Bur
eau. " It waa found that' a $6,000
oneb-etory bungalow, 25 by 36 feet.
buUt f face brick with a. common
brick backup would cost only $117
more than the same' bunsralow
would coat in frame construction.
Cooperating with - the Bureau
were representative of the Den
ver Retail - Lumbermen's Associa
tion, the Portland Cement Associ
ation, and the Colorado Clay Pro
ducts Association,, all of whom
approved the final reports of the
findings, it Is the first instance
that has come to the attention ef
"Building Economy where- these
three material Interests, essential
ly rivals, - have mutually1 agreed
upon and participated In, a ' test
of such vital Interest to the pros-
pectlyebyerv "tx'-j - " .
Moreover, it la a . pretty safe
prediction that it will be a Series
of blue moons, before the lumber
and cement folk, can be Induced
to make another. The 'findings
were . altogether too disastrous to
their out repeated and exaggerated
claims, of excessive costs of brick
construction: ' "
The. prevailing labor schedule
la Den ver at the time the 'survey
was made was as follows: rtck
Uyers. tl2; : tile setters, $13;
plasterers, $ 12 ; ; - painters,-1 $10;
carpenters,' $9, and hod carriers.

, And they are authoritative. -
Donald O.' Weese, ; director of i
the Architects Small House Ser-!
vice Bureau, says .in bis Teport
upon its ' findings:
t- "This t cos. I survey of small
house construction , was establish
ed and conducted by the Moun
tain Diviaion office -of -The Arch
itects Small House Service. Bur
eau of the United SUtea. Its
members represented the Portland
Cement Association, the Colorado
Clay; Prodnets' Association and
the Denver : Retail . Dumbermen's
Association. : ; - . - . .
' vit object was to "establish as
closely aa-possible definite ihfdr
mation - regarding the difference
In- cost i between varying types of
small house construction. ;: The
committee recognized" at the be
ginning, of, its .work ; that the dif
ference In cost : of - a chouse of
frame and one. of brick construc
tion of the . same size and design,
for example, would be the differ-
the others cited here," but cost-ence in cost of their exterior walla.
Therefore, Its attention w cen
tered on aa analysis of the exter
ior wall costs only.
" TB procedure followed hy the
committee was first to select a
standard bungalow plan from the
Bnreau service, and then to make
an accurate survey of the amount
type of wall to be analysed.
"The specif Icationa submitted
to the ..contractors therefore in
cluded not only the grade of ma
terials, but also the amount to be
figured. Among other things the
union scale of labor was specified.
The bids ; submitted included for
each Individual part of the wall
construction detailed statements
of labor and material costs."
