The third deals with Arade union rules that make necen-Jary duplication of work on the job where facilities for giving the owner and service are not available as they are In the manufacturing shop. These three factors alone are sufficient in themselves, not only to prevent an early relief from high rentals, but the practice of over-valuation of building projects has started the cost of building upon an upward which is already choking the of the building construction industry of New York City. Warns of "Shoe-String" Expose. The building investing public is very soon going to learn some startling things about the operation of tiodernized "shoe-string" building find financial methods, says Mr.

Unseasonable slumps In building (jade activity like this must have an inderlying cause, so the reason for current decline was sought. The first clue was found in trade 'etters broadcast to two of the leading building material and equipment Industries of New York City. The Jecond clue came from a letter from New York contractor shipping goods into Florida, and the third c.ue came from observations of cur- fcnt edlciency of building trade labor en a building now in cours of con struction. i.

A more favorable trend characterizes Brooklyn building than ot this time laat year, the seasonal decline In projected new construction having been 95 percent leas for July, 1926, than for the same month In 1925. This waa disclosed In a survey conducted by the Leverich Bond 4 Mortgage Corporation, following receipt of reports that slackening ad been observed In many of the other principal cities.

The findings of the Brooklyn survey wore substantiated by analysis of records at the Bureau ot Buildings, showing that applications for per mits lor now construction during July, 1826, reached a total of which was 2.8 percent above the figure fer July ot 1925. Iloufdiur Permits Increase. Dwelling permits were 9.S percent greater In July of thla year than In the same month a year ago, the 1926 figures being $16,744,600. The buildings were to house 1,476 families, or 6 percent more than were provided for In the applications for July. 1926.

Although total new construction projected In July of this year was less than during June, the decreaae amounted to only $1,166,726. aa com pared with a loss of $4,073,126 in the same period laat year, the difference representing a 95 percent cut in the decline. Although many of th figure for July of thla year were below those of June, it waa pointed out that the relative trend waa upward, neverthe less. Total new construction planned during June of thla year was 9.6 percent under the figure for June of 1925. This unfavorable comparison was reversed In July, with the 2.8 percent gain over the total for the same nvnth In 1926.

Preference for ltrlck Construction. Combined figures for June and July of thla year showed a growing preierence tor orlrk housing. Of the 7.881 homea and suites planned dur ing the two months, 6.413 or 87 percent were of brick construction, aa compared with 79 percent during the eame two months of 1926, when 6,212 of the t.682 projected unlta were of uylck. The trend In tenement during the month just passed waa for larger butldingH than during July, 1925. Although the total number of tenement projectg was only 198 In July, 1926, as compured with 206 In the anm month a year ago, the actual amount of housing provided was greator, 2.205 suites being planned, aa compared with l.sHl in July, 19.6.

The cost also wns greater this year amounting to i 4-h ihmi. as against $6,870,600 for Julv a year ago. FUR ZONE BUILDING 15 STORIES HIGH FOR WEST 30TH ST. New Manhattan Loft Project Is Designed by Henry I. Oser.
