Delay In Relieving
The Housing Shortage
Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 2O-Delay in
relieving housing shortage all over
the country is greater than in any
other form of building construction,
according to a review of contracts is
sued today by the F. W. Dodge COM
pany. Public works, industrial build
ings and public utilities are being
constructed much faster than residen-
ces and are less affected by high pri-
ces, high wages and shortage of ma
terial.
Contracts awarded for residential
buildings in the first three months
this year vary from IA to 20 per cent
of total building contracts in different
sections of the country. Normally
residences account for about 80 per
cent of the contracts, and in view of
existing needs, the review says, resi-
dences should represent about 40 per
cent of the total construction.

ant meeting at luncheon at tho
Elks Hotel today. Among other mat
ters discussed was sundry changes in
the traffic laws of the city which i,
was thought ought 10 be made Al;
present autos are not allowed to ston
at all on given side of certain
streets, much to the disadvantage of
people doing business on that side of
Ehe street. 1t was brought out that an
amendment is already being consid-
cred by the City Commissioners to al
low autos. to stop for ten minutes or
any side OF any street, and this would
correct the trouble complained of.
Lenlency and consideration ON the
part of the police to tourists coming
INTO the city and who are ignoran,
OF our laws, was also urged.
Mr.. j. E. Mossman, of West Viz
ginia who is interested here, was pres
ent, and made few appropriate re-
marks in which he predicted rising
values for real estate in this section
declaring that lands hereabouts
would at no far distant time brin..
twice the prices they are now he,l
at, and that $500 to $1,000 an acra
would be no unusual price.
