This should not he difficult
TO accomplish, for the demand
for new homes is steadily in

are geared TO produce this
volume of homes. The next
six months will see the end Of
price fluctuations and the
shortage OF labor we are expe-
riencing today, brought about
hy the demand OF labor on de-
tense projects. The release OF
these workmen into private
building industry will naturally
bring about quickening of

earnings of large group of exec

increased profits of normal and

larger percentage of homes in the
higher price bracket Will be built.
Miller believes.
"A great deal Of the credit
for making possible this building
activity must he accorded the
banking institutions and mort

sighted enough In accepting
home mortgages as the best
possible investment for their

Miller said acceleration in the
