Lawson, to build 1hree moderate priced houses has held the interest of the build.ing industry, bankers and real estate men as well as prospective home owners. Ground has been broken for the first of t~ese houses by Mayor Dever. representmg the public, and as all the hou.ses will be built under the Landis Award, the Citizens' Committee to E f h .t n orce t e Landis Awaro t.ras represented by T . E. Donnelley, chairman, and James A. Patten of Evanston, treasurer. The same corttractor secured the contract for this house at 6847 Cregier avenue and the 'north side house at Lunt and Pingree avenues. Ground for the River Forest house was broken with appropriate ceremonies by the village board. There wilt no doubt be a close race between the contractors to see who can complete their work first. To prove the legitimacy of their bids all contractors have guaranteed to build up to twenty similar houses a month at the same price. These homes will be exceptionally well built and different kinds of material w311 be used in each house. This experiment will undoubtedly prove whether it is possible to build a desirable home economically and at a price which the average family can afford to pay, without putting a burden on them for years to come. More enthusiasm for the Landis Award and insistance' that the Citizens' Committee to Enforce the Lan. dis Award must stay in existence as an active factor in the building industry in Chicago, has been displayed by the architects and contractors during the past month than ever before, it is reported. This enthusiasm is evidently responsible for the large percentage of work which went Landis Award last week. Forty-six per cent of contracts of $25,000 or over were awarded the contractors working under the Landis Aw ret. - Wqe' ~n:tes per hour for aU Jtave bft8 frequeatJ.J!. apamtfoned as a surety, effeetfTe June !, hut up to. date no wage contracts have been signed nor negotiated.
