article to be published in its ofncial
magazine next month. "The potential

1886 in the way of new building?
100000 Seen in 1886.
Estimates vary widely-and some
of them seem wild. One forecast sees
100000 new dwelling units in 1896:

However, if only the same percent

Factors Creating Demand.
The bank body lists several factors
contributing to the potential demand
for homes, among them:
The accumulated deficit" Of dwell

the excess of new marriages over
marriages terminated; obsolescence
and depreciation; desire Of home own

of skill and ability parts of the
program, but other forms of en-
tertainment were offered, includ-
ing a banquet and dance which
formed the highlights of the social
side of the meeting.
