II. S. HOUSING SHORTAGE

Suffer-District Reported Normal.

That a national building shortage
somewhat in excess OF 1000, 600. 900
now exists in the entihe country is
indicated by reports made to S. w.
Straus & Co. in a survey of all cities
of more than 10000 popula ton, the
results of which were made public
yesterday.
Studies were made in 52S cities. In
$50 of these reports were made of
building shortages amounting to 1850
$4,000, of which $2,102. 69S 500 is need :
ed for residential types; s1,13O,S51, 500
for commercial types and SS70,270,0O0
for public buildings of all kinds. In
14S cities no shortage was reported,
thus indicating that in these places
the amount of building requirements
now rests on the normal demands Of
growth and Improvement
Small Towns Suffer.
A shortage of considerable magni-
tude in places having less than 10000
population was indicated Inquiry
was made in 20 towns of this type in
various parts of the United States.
Twelve showed aggregate shortages
of more than s14000,000, while re-

The investigation also brought to
light definitely planned expenditures
of nearly SS00,000,oOO during the next
two years for churches, hospitals.

British Report Shows Effect of
LEGISLATION.

a report by the British ministry of
health for the year ended in March
shows the effect of the housing act
of 1928, under which provision is
made for public assistance in the
construction of houses for workers.
There were 41,S59 houses to be pro-
vided under approved schemes by To-
cal authorities. 1871 houses by pri-
vate enterprise having assistance un-
der the act and 5,6S1 by public util-
ity societies similarly assisted, max
ing total of 121,317 OF these $40
were completed and 30,4o5 were in
course of construction at the close
of the year. On the same date 20S,712
houses had been completed under the
housing acts of 1919; 164,9S5 by local
authorities. 39,1S6 by private builders,
and 4,541 by public utility societies.

D,Uelling Construction Is Booming.
Many Stores Going Up.

While the value of building con-
struction in the National Capital for
the first 10 months of this year is
s3,574,783 behind the corresponding
period of 1923, this is by no means
an Indication that there has been a
slump in general construction prof.
.ectS here.
Last year construction amounted to
s42.05S.9S2 from January to October,
inclusive. Over the same period this
year it totaled s3S, ,4S4, ,199. This in
cludeS all repairs to properties.
When it is taken into consideration
that one project, the Walker Hotel,
was listed last April in the office of
the building inspector at S7,000,000 it
will readily be seen that the con-
StruCtion activities this year, which
contain no such unusual project any
where near the value of the hotel
are considerably ahead.
The chief feature of construction
during the past year was the tre-
mendous increase in residential build
ing that in a measure proved the
great shortage of houses in the Dis
trict of Columbia, particularly those
moderately priced. All sections of the
city have been witness to building
activities in dwellings, that far sur
pass anything attempted in the Ma
tional Capital heretofore.
The present fiscal year, starting in
July, far exceeds the last, and. in
deed, bids fair to end in 1925 with a
record year in Washington. Particu-
larly will this be true if a number of
leading real estate men carry out
their plans.

the third and very important essen
