Builders Plan Probe
To End Undesirable
Practices Here
Group Representing
Entire Industry Is
Being Appointed
The Washington Building Congress
is joining with the Construction
League of the United States in sur
veying practices in the building
industry in view of recent wide
spread criticism and an investiga
tion by the Justice Department for
possible anti-trust violations.
A committee made up of repre
sentatives of all branches of the
industry is being appointed to in
vestigate the situation in Washing
ton and this area. It is expected,
according to the August bulletin of
the Washington Building Congress,
that this investigation will be in
strumental in correcting any local
practices which representative mem
bers of the industry agree are un
desirable and not for the best in
terest of the industry as a whole.
Members of the organization are
being asked to call the congress
office with any information they i
think may be of interest to the
committee. When requested the in
formation will be kept confidential.
The study has been undertaken
in order that an organization di
rectly interested in and affected
by the building industry will have
facts either to refute the criticism,
or, if it is true in some respects,
assist in overcoming the undesirable
practices. Building congresses and
similar organizations throughout the
country are co-operating in the un
dertaking.
In order to appraise the nature
and extent of practices within the
industry a questionnaire has been
sent out. Topics covered in this
questionnaire include bidding prac
tices, financing of construction,
wage rates, material costs, labor
supply, jurisdictional disputes, con
struction process at the site, build
ing code, public control of con
tractors, contract documents and
outside influences.

If you are on the lookout for
something new and different in the
way of decoration for your home,
be it large or small, you will get a
big kick out of a new translucent
window- blind. These blinds ar“ of
the Venetian slat type, and operate
in the same way as the ones you
are accustomed to seeing, but instead
of having solid w-ood slats, they have
handsome bakelite strips which
transmit light.
With blinds of this sort installed
on the window's of one or more of
the rooms of your home, you can
round out a decorative scheme m a
highly satisfactory manner. The
translucent bakelite slats give off a
pleasing glow' of color from either
natural or artificial light, and you
will find that an otherwise dull and
drab room can be made bright and
cheery if the old-fashioned window
blinds are replaced w-ith these new ,
devices.
Among the numerous interesting
features of these blinds you will be
interested to know that they are
very easily cleaned because of their ,
smooth satin finish which makes it ,
difficult for dirt and dust to collect. '
This finish is also permanent, ac- ,
cording to the manufacturers, be
cause it has been baked right into ,
the material, and is also impervious i
to water, alcohol, and any high- j
powered household cleansers that
might be used on it. ,
The slats themselves are curved in i
sort of a fiat S shape which should ]
make them ideal from the stand
point of light diffusion and ventila- ^
tion. This new shape, combined
with the thinness of the material,
—* *-A J
makes it possible for the blind to be
Hade very compact when it is in
:he raised position. A facia board
it the top is also supplied as stand -
ird equipment. This further con
ceals the mechanism and makes the i
?ntir« installation trim.
A mechanical detail which is new
in this type of blind is the oper
ating machinery that enables the
louse cleaner to remove the blind
Tom its sockets completely for
cither a thorough cleaning of the
ilind itself or the window it pro
ects.
You have your choice of eight dif
Trent colors ranging from white
hrough cream, amber, scarlet, dark
■ed, dark blue, light blue to green.

ine other day we saw something
tew in decorative mirrors. Nearly
■very one would like to have a full
ength mirror or two around the
tome. Well, the only reason a lot
)f us don't have full-length mirrors
nsta’led at t%ery turn is because of
heir rather high cost. We have
ound a ne» steel mirror witji a
•effecting surface. It is made* of
hrome steel plate and has a 2-inch
;atin border all around the out
iide. giving it a fine-finished ap
learance. Because of the relatively
hin sheet of steel that is used these
nirrors are considerably lighter in
veight and are. therefore, easier to
nstall on any and all doors. They
ire made in sizes to fit standard'
loor panels and the manufacturers
ell us that they cost about a third
ess than the old-style mirrors.

Home Building Costs
Downward, Study
Discloses
Figures Indicate
Materials Outweigh
Labor Changes 2 to 1
The trend of home building costs
is currently down, and it has been
?oing down steadily since the mid
dle of 1937. according to a study
nade by the Building Reporter on
the basis of statistics supplied by j
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board.
The study reveals that the de- j
treasing cost of building materials
ias been responsible for the down
ward trend in the cost of the fin
,shed house. The cost of building ;
labor, according to the report, is
low higher than at any time in
L937.
Since 1936. it is pointed out. the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
ias been collecting data from repu
table contractors and operative
suilders on the cost of constructing
i standard six-room house < 24.000
ttubic feet) in a selected group of
typical cities from coast to coast.
Fnese data cover all labor and ma
terial costs, except those for wall
paper, other wall and ceiling fin
ishes, lighting fixtures, refrigera
tors, water heaters, ranges and
screens.
A compilation of the figures indi
cates that the cost of materials
outweighs the cost of labor by about
two to one. The breakdown in ma
terial costs normally shows; Lum
ber. 55 per cent of the total; ma
son's materials, a little less than 20
per cent; hardware, 3 per cent;
painter's materials, a little more
than 2 per cent, and heating and
plumbing supplies, 20 per cent.

Fourth of D. C.
Debts Are Paid
To H. 0. L. C.
All-Time Record for
Collections Set
During 1939
ui vumujoia Dorrowers
from the Home Owners’ Loan Corp.
as of June 30 have repaid $3,057,
768. or 25 per cent of their total
indebtedness, the H. O. L. C. re
vealed today in announcing that
collections set an all-time record
during the first six months of 1939,
Collections in the District in June
were 100.1 per cent of the monthly
billings. The H. O. L. C. has 1.411
accounts in satisfactory standing
here, which means that payments
are up to date or not more than,
three months in arrears or in the
process of liquidation. This is more'
than 84 per cent of the 1.678 active
accounts here.
The H. O. L. C. reported that it-,
awns only 19 houses in the Dis
trict at the present time and has
sold 185. Homes the agency has
been forced to acquire, officials said,
are sold almost as fast as they are
acquired.
The figures for the first six months
of 1939 show that the H. O. L. C.
is making decisive progress in its
dual functions of rehabilitating dis
tressed home owners and liquidat
ing properties it has been forced
to take over.
Collections in June were 100.3
