Building During the Year Will
Show Total of Nearly $1 00,000
Kings Products Company Erect First Unit of Great Plant
Several Bricks Built During Year.
The year 1917 has been one of light
building. The cause is easily found, for
there are several reasons for it. Like
everything else it too must lay the prin
cipal blame on the war. The United
States entering the war just -as the
building season' commenced caused con
servative businessmen to call a halt on
improvements. March opened with four
permits, but April which should have
shown considerable increase dropped
back to two, for the war had commenced
for America.
It never picked up again during 1ho
summer or in the fall when the heav
iest building generally is done. Among
the new buildings that of the Kings
Products company was ono of the most
expensive and at the same time of the
greatest importance for it is but the in
itial unit of what promises to be Sa
lem 's greatest manufacturing plant.
The high cost of building material is
another cause for a light year of build
ing, for it increased the cost at least
50 per cent. The scarcity of labor ad
ded to its increased wage, added still
further to cost of construction, and the
combination made building at this time
unprofitable unless it was absolutely
necessary. As it was, Salem expended
I nearly $100,000 for buildings in 1917. It
might be added in this connection that'
the county and city have expended $12,
000 for a temporary bridge across the
Willamette at this point and .have -ion-tracted
for a permanent bridge at a cost
of approximately a quarter of a million
dollars. However, it is not expected the
coming year will show any great build
ing activities as the causes of the -closing
year's deficiency in that line still
exist, and will continue- until after the
war. Despite tfhese adverse conditions
several miles of street paving have been
completed. Taken all together the city
