speed Population Growth
Cited by Lusk.

More than $4,000 people. or a
population as large as that Of Cum
berland, Md. were provided with
housing in metropolitan Washington
during 1896, according to tabulation
of building contained in the January
issue of washington Business Review,
published by Rufus S. Lusk.
In addition to the District proper,
construction figures for Alexandria
City, Arlington. Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties and Takoma
Park are included. The Review points
out these interesting facts concern
ing this huge building program;
!. It Is the largest amount OF
residential construction in the history
Of this territory.
2. The total housing units started
exceed 5000. or about so per cent
more than 1885.
3. More apartments were erected
than houses. although in 1885 the
reverse was true.
4. In both 1885 and 1886 there
were more homes built in the counties
than in the Capital itself. Wash
ington seems to be gradually yielding
first place to Maryland and Virginia
in the erection Of single family dwell
ings
The Review points out that while
this unprecedented building program
can be absorbed for the present, it
cannot continue indefinitely.
According to Lusk. the amount Of
residential construction which any
community may absorb cannot ex-
eeed the number Of available people
to occupy houses and apartments in
that particular community. If there
ere 10000 people who need shelter
and housing Is constructed for 10000,
trouble results. This is what hap
pened in 1925 and 1925. Because
construction went so far ahead of
population growth disa ster came upon
the industry within year or two.
This point has not been reached
today, but il construction continues
at Its present pace it will be here
before many realize it. That time
will arrive when construction out
distances demand. It depends upon
two factors: The rate OF building and
the rate of population growth. If
the growth Of Washington, which
has been at least four times normal
for the last three years, assumes q
normal increase again it will have
a material and almost immediate
effect upon the amount OF residential
building that can be prohtably car
ried on.
The Review gives a detailed analysis
OF construction in the different parts
OF metropolitan Washington and sum-
marizes the sale Of new homes in
the city, vacancies and number Of
new houses for sale.
