A HAPPY NE\T YEAR PROSPERITY

The situation of the Pacific Coast shipping seriously hinders the delivery of lumber and a great many people, after reading the stories of strikes and tle-ups are hesitating to go ahead with building projects which I think would move forward quite readily were it not for so many things of this sort which discourage the prospective builder.

Notwithstanding all of these uncertainties which I think are holding back the building program, we have a much better prospect for the next three or four months than we had a year ago at this time.

I realize that the foregoing is somewhat uncertain and a little pessimistic, but this is my line of thinkng, and I can not explain myself in any other terms.

The sales in our seven yards show an average increase of 60 per cent in 1935 over 1934. Residential building permits in Orange County for 1935 represent but a small fraction of the number of mrarriage licenses issued in the county for the same period and an actual housing shortage exists. Mortgage money is plentiful on easy terms and at lower interest rates than ever before, so we cannot see anything but further increase in building for the next two or three years at least.

We now feel that 1936 will show a substantial improvement in volume of sales, over 1935.

Considerable nerv residential construction, plus .a continuance of renovating and repairing, appears. certain.
