800 New Homes Erected Firet
Six Months in 1922 as
Against 436 Last
Year. '
During the first six months of
last year 456 new dwellings were
erected in Omaha, representing
investment of $1,816,000.
During the corresponding period
of this year, 800 new homes have
been added, at a total cost of $J,200,
000.
Thoe brief statements epitomize
the building situation here this year.
Eighty per cent increa? in home
construction is eloquent testimony of
the improved condition in the build
ing industry.
Building Permit Increase.
These figures also are presented:
During first six months of 1921, 917
building permits were issued, repre--srnting
an investment of $J, 370,000;
first six months of thfs year 1,400
permits, $4,500,000.
Seyeral outstanding factors enter
into the situation. The financial
market is easier. It is less difficult
for a prospective builder to obtain a
loan. Prices of materials and labor
are more stable than they were a
year ago. The 1921 building season
opened with a feeling of uncertainty
in the minds of many who believed
that prices would go tumbling down
and this caused many to postpone
improvements.

FOR GOVERNOR
The Nebraska City Daily Press of June 18, 1922, says:
"The Press is assured, after having investigated the claims
of rival candidates, that Adam McMullen is the man whom
Republicans should support for the governorship. McMullen
has been tried and tested. He is untrammeled and unafraid.
'He belongs to no faction and he represents no class. Mc
Mullen is capable, fearless and inherently .honest. His towns
men speak highly of him, his neighbors declare he is the full
measure of a man. He has a character of sterling excel
lence, possesses a masterly understanding of the needs of
Nebraska and Nebraskans, is untouched by quackery or
demagoguery. His merit, so far as The Press can learn,
equals his reputation, and throughout his active career, as
a legislator, as a business man and a farmer, he has been
actuated by the most laudable motives. This newspaper rec
ommends Adam McMullen to the Republicans of its big
family circle. They will not go astray by lending him all the
support they can muster." - .
