RISE CONTINUES
| IN HOME BUILDING
Sharp Revival Regarded as
Promising Source of Sus.
tanned Recovery.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press FinaneIa, Writer

NEW YORK, October 27.-"Home,
Sweet Home" has emerged from a
medley Of business themes as one Of
the most popular recovery tunes Of the
year.
A rising din Of hammers and saws
back in action on home construction
sites has been music in the ears of
manufacturers and dealers in building
materials and residential equipment.
Revival in this market is what many
had been waiting for as probably the
most promising source Of sustained
recovery.
1t had only minor part In early
phases of recovery and still is far
from the booming proportions it at
tanned from 1925 to 1929. But the
upward swing has encouraged predic-
tions of faster rhythm next year.
Climb Is Spectacular.
On the basis of figures for the first
nine months, residential building con-
tracts for 1886 in the 81 States east
of the Rocky Mountains are expected
to approximate $500 900 900, compared
with $478, 100000 last year and about
$3.50, 900 900 in 1894.
The 1886 showing has been influ-
enced by the Federal Government
500, ,0o0, 900 program of home con-
struction for low-income groups.
But it is traced mainly to such
1or al foronc rie a
declining vacancies, a return flow Of
population to the cities from farms.
more marriages. expansion in mass
income and release Of pent-up needs
accumulated in the years when new
construction almost ceased.
At the same time mortgage money
has become more plentiful and inter-
est rates more attractive to the bor-
rover.
Aided by U. S. Projects.
Aided by public-f financed projects
and squirt in apartment building in
the New York metropolis area, the
August total of space called for in
residential contracts rose to 24,300. 900
square feet, compared with only 4,800,-
900 in the same 1884 month and 49,
/ 900 in August, 1929.
/ Ramifications of new home build
ing have been evident in many sec
tors. The upturn has been given
much of the credit for gains of 20
per cent in shipments of vacuum
cleaners this year, 81 per cent in elec-
trio refrigerators, A per cent in oil
( burners and nearly 40 per cent in
operations of furniture factories.
Activity, real estate men say, has
been mainly in suburban areas, aided
by a tendency toward decentralization
in some industries and by motor trans
! portation.
Real estate men look for another
drive in the next session of Congress
for adoption of a long-range housing
program. Whether this would retard
revival of private building or boost ac-
tivity by supplementing it has been a
topic of controversy.
