MacMillan, state corporation commissioner, to Issue and sell 1000 shares of its preferred and 600 shares of its common stock in California.

The company is capitalized at $200,000. The moving spirit In the new en. tet prise is George H. Prudden, who, according to statements made to the corporation department, formerly was chief engineer and superintendent of construction for the Stout Metal Airplane Company, a subsidiary of the Ford Automobile Company. The company is required under the permit to impound the first $330,000 net received from stock sales In order that it may start business on a fair financial basis.

Kelly stressed the importance of little things In the construction as factors in eliminating waste and reducing costs. "There is nothing mythical about the required materials that go into any given Job and a good estimate department should be able to figure a bill of materials exactly to the number of pieces, whether thev are 2x4's, sacks of cement, number of or kegs of nails." Daily contact of department "Lower the cost of homes by volume production which will eliminate present waste In home-building," George A. Kelly of Flint, chairman of the housing committee of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, advised members of the national real estate organization at a home-builders' conference. Volume production based upon good, Bound business principles, has reduced the selling price In the automobile Industry even while the labor scale has been increased, according to Kelly, who pointed out that the home-building industry by the same method could accomplish a similar lowering of prices. "In the home-building field no great outlay for plant or eqnuip-ment Is needed, only working capital and properly trained men." he said, suggesting a flexible, trained organization that could ship labor and material to various parts of heads will add to the efficiency of the constructing organization by checking the progress of each department's work against that ol the other.

"If the electrician is reminded by the lather that he is holding up the whole production line, in the presence of the plumber and the carpenter and the mason, it will have far more effect than If the general manager speaks to th electrician alone."

Such an organization, properly financed, would have no competitor who could compare with It for purchasing power, for effective operation, for low cost, for quality of output or for low selling prices.

I "The builder assumes the role of financier, salesman, architect, estimator and purchasing agent, very often. AH of these qualities are not combined in any one individual.

It takes an organization and an organization in balance at ail times, to meet all of these requirements." Methods of eliminating the waste in home-building that keeps the present prices up Kelly suggests as follows: Volume buying. Efficient financing that will allow sufficient Working capital as a revolving fund to carry through the entire building program. Elastic1' building codes. Efficiency of designs. Rapid construction without the sacrifice of quality.

Careful estimates of materials needed and specific measurements in ordering goods. Contact of department heads to establish friendly competition In departmental achievements. An organlaztion of labor that changes as little as possible. Efficiency in labor, i. e.

avoidance of lost motions and carelessness. SAVINGS ON MATERIAL. "The savings on- the material item alone In volume buying will run an average of 26 per cent net. This is a cash saving," said Kelly, suggesting remedies for the waste that boosts the cost of 1 Blue Ticket Holders: in your leatsJby 8 p. m.

"No other business expects to be financed on the hand-to-mouth basis that usually prevails in the building business. The builder needs sufficient working capital as a revolving fund to carry through his entire program to completion and he should haye this capital before he starts operations. "It may seem feasible for finance organizations to raise large amounts to buy land contracts when really they are buying the waste or Inflation that the builder puts Into the sale price of hre house. If these same organizations would 1 create the product themselves, as the builder has created the product, instead of buying the contract, -and take the same profit on their houses that they take In discount on the contract, the $7600 house "today would be selling for $6000."
