pany.
value Of these new residences
was almost 10 times (9.8 the low

Contributing substantially to these
record breaking figures was the
smallness Of the advance, only four.
fifths Of / per cent, in average cost
per person provided with new hous.
ing over the preceding year.
Rapidly Of residential construc-
ton last year, the fifth successive
