THE nnIlsNG PROBLEM.

ut will interest wilmingonIsns to know that according
TO figures just furnished tho National Lumber Manu-
acurers Association by the Department OF Commerce in
special report the housing shortage in America on Oc-
ober 10 was approximately 100000 homes.
The Bureau OF Census gN1s the normal residential con
stricton as $4,000 structures However the report Of
the select committee on Reconstruction and Production,
United states Senate last March, assumed the higher ng-
ure Of 100000 structures.
One-afth OF the normal yearly construction must be
used to take the place OF losses through fire. obsoescence
or alterations for other than residential purposes
Hence taking the larger estimate Of 100000 houses per
year as the normal construction but 10000 structures re-
main ordinary times to house increased population due
to immigration, births and marriages
In local it is pleasing TO know that the housing
