Billions fo- Buildings

An expert has found that building activities in the
United States at the close Of the year 1929 will rep
resent an investment Of s70OO.000.0O0. Since the close
OF the world war from six to seven billion dollars has
been the annual cost for new buildings in the United
States. Population growth, he says, is another factor.
In one month. next year. an army Of 100000 enumer-
ators will try to count the population Of the republic
of more than 100000 souls. Growth of the coun-
try has been steady from the days of the first census
in 1870 when the population was 100000 and when
TIE republic occupied a territory Of $4,000 square
miles. as against 2.974.0O0 square miles today. There
were only six cities with as many as 5000 people when
the first census was taken. according to the bulletin
issued on the activities of the year.
Speaking Of rapid growth the reader is told that
the population growth Of the United States in recent
years has reached the high rate Of 100000 annually.
This is the conclusion: These new mouths must be
fed: new armies Of workmen must be kept employed;
their earnings and the returns Of the articles they
produce must be re-invested: expansion is constantly
under way: that means new factories. new plants,
skyscrapers, churches. schools. homes. theaters and
aotels: new building construction will not decrease
except for possible brief periods. 1t will likely in
crease for years to come"
Every 10 years the republic adds 100000 souls to
its total population. Every 10 years land development
and building construction represents billions Of dol
lars added to the wealth Of the nation. Texas shows
rapid expansion and yet the development Of resources
In Texas is in its infancy.
