? COSTS NOT*TO RECEDE.
Construction costs are not going to
recede, materially, for many years.
The most imprudent policy imaginable,
at this time, is to defer useful con
struction In the expectation of doing
the -work next year and saving money.
Some are saying that we have reached
the crest of the high price wave and
that we soon shall experience a general
recession of the price level. Those
who submit this proposition do not
... e?er. convincing evidence and their
arguments^ail to tak^into considera
tion some very stubborn economic facts
which particularly influence construc
tion conditions.
In its July review of conditions the
‘ National City Bank of New York says:
"The general world situation is not
favorable either to a rapid decline of
prices or to prolonged industrial de
pression. There is too much work
. needing to be’ done. The argument
1 from former reactions from high prices
and succeeding periods of industrial
depression is not good, for the reason
that such reactions in the past have
followed periods of construction and
enlargement of industrial capacity
which had run their course. Present
high prices are not the result of a
period of construction and Investment.
- The $25,0110,000,000 of new government
indebtedness which is glutting the
banks and investment markets repre
sents in only a very small part new
industrial facilities. On the contrary
< this indebtedness represents capital
which should have gone into our rail
roads, housebuilding and other con
struction ana development work.”
The $25,000,000,000 of government
Indebtedness represents capital which
should have gone into railroads, house
building and other construction and
development work. That statement is
profoundly, significant. Before we ap
proximate the pre-war normal we
must, in addition to meeting the nat
ural and normal current construction
needs, produce $25,000,000,000 of struc
tural and productive facilities, short
because of the war, and until we make
up this shortage the price level can
not correctly be said to be normal.
S In the construction, industry we are
not producing enough to meet current
needs, to say nothing of getting ahead
on the deficit caused by the war.
Transportation and fuel conditions
have cut down production of essential
. materials until the material shortage
' confronting us at the signing of the
armistice has increased rather than
diminished. In the meantime an enor
mous-greater than ever before in our
national history—demand for construc
tion has piled up and this demand will
absorb our material output, even when
we crowd our "productive facilities to
capacity, for years to come. In the
face of this tremendous demand we
neet'expect no material recessions in
prices.—From The American Contrac
tor.
INITIAL TRIP.
‘' Last Friday afternoon according to
schedule the new launch, the "Althea”,
6f Enoch Turner, candidate for City
Treasurer, was successfully launched
at the Apel Boat Works, where she
had been taken to be finished. A
forty horse-power Wisconsin engine
was installed,, and she has proved to
be one of the speediest large boats on
the island.
The initial trip was made by Cap
tain Turner on Saturday to Great Bay
with former president of City Council
Dr. J. Coles Brick, and Freeholder C.
Claude Scull aB his guests. The trip
was Quite a success, a great catch be
ing made, in spite of the fact that Mr.
Scull did not even put a line over
board.'— .. .-i
