Building Of $4,000
Dwelling Units Per
Year Seen as Need
Annual Increase of
400, 900 FomiIies
Forecast for 10 Years

Construction of $4,000 dwelling
units annually during the next five
years are needed in the United
States. according to Lowell J. Chaw-
ner. chief of the Economic Research
Division, Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce.
During the next 10 years there
will be an increase Of over 100000
families annually, the Government
official states in a report just issued.
The yearly increase between the
years 1850 and 1860 should be be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 family
units, he states.
42,649,000 Family Units Seen.
On the basis of these estimates,
there may be as many as 34,22l 900
families in the United States next
wear, and by 1945 the number should
have risen to So, SOL 900. In 1860 the
estimated number of families will
be 42,649,000
This means that by the year 1945
the population of this country will
be about 145,00O, 900, while in 1860
Uncle Sans family will number
170,000,000 men, women and chill
dren.
AS far as actual building is con-
cerned, however, the report states
that past experience indicates the
peaks in construction tend to lag
q year or more behind peaks in
demand created by the increasing
number of new families, and that
economic influences, such as family
income and costs of ownership, may
accentuate the prospective trends in
building.
Formerly Led Increases.
For example, the increases in the
number of available dwelling units
were larger than the increase In the
number of families during the years
from 1923 to 1882. The increase in
dwelling units constructed in each
Of the peak years from 1924 through
1927 exceeded the increase IN the
number of families by almost 300,-
600. This trend was less pronounced
in subsequent years. the survey
points out, and in 1888 the increase
in dwellings was less than the in
crease In the number of families,
This latter tendency has continued
up to the present time.

Navy officials have stretched
