The Mason Contractors Association of Spokane and its associate members recently presented their second annual John Cunningham Memorial Award for oustanding masonry design and construction.
The award honors the late John Cunningham for his many years of work as an associate member and is given to the architect, mason contractor and owner for two jobs completed the previous year.
The awards for 1972 were for the Student Service Building of Spokane Community College and the Salvation Army Building in Spokane.
Congratulating each other on their Cunningham awards are winning architect Jack Sackville-West (center) and mason contractor Bill Schoultz, both of whom worked on the Student Services Building of Spokane Community College. Smiling his approval is architect Darrell Stebbins, who served as judge.
Most little boys aspire to become doctors-until they learn that doctors have to wash their hands all the way up to the elbows.
Housing Starts Down in 2nd Quarter of '73
Construction of new housing units started during the second quarter of the year was down 3% to 619,666, compared with the same period in 1972, reports the F. W. Dodge Division of McGraw-Hill Information Systems Co.
After adjustment for seasonal variations, the second-quarter housing unit figure showed a 13% decline over the first quarter of 1973, according to Dodge. Said George A. Christie, vice president and chief economist of Dodge: "The spring drop of homebuilding is only the beginning of a succession of declines still to come over the next several quarters. Sharply higher building costs and soaring mortgage rates have cut the ground out from under the biggest housing boom the nation has ever known."
The following ten standard metropolitan statistical areas were the nation's top housing producers in the second quarter: Chicago, 20,921 units; Los Angeles-Long Beach, 11,283 units; New York, 9,864 units; San Francisco, 9,389 units; Washington, D.C., 9,381 units; Miami, 9,021 units; Atlanta, 8,541 units; Detroit, 8,446 units; Houston, 8,410 units; Denver, 8,380 units.
