New Construction
In June 4 Per Cent
Above That OF May

A per cent increase in new con.
struction in June over May raised
this activity in the United State:
for the month to $403, 100000, the
War Production Board revealed yes
terday. This is a 10 per cent in
crease over the $34O,oOO,0oO level Of
June, 1914, WPB said.
The volume Of new construction
for the first half of 1945 was $2,049, :
100000. 1t is expected that con-
struction activity for the entire year
will amount to $4,000 100000, or IL
per cent more than that for 1914
WPB said. This estimate for 1945
was based on the assumption that
war with Japan will continue
throughout 1915.
Estimates of l945 construction
broken down into major categories,
follow:
Privately financed construction
industrial, housing and all other
types is expected to exceed pub
licly-financed work in 1945 for the
first time since 1910. Non-induStrial
military construction is expected to
decline in 1945 to 90 per cent less
than the 1914 volume; and declines
of about 6 per cent from 1914
levels are expected in Government
financed industrial and civilian
housing construction.
WPB pointed out that these de-
clines will be more than offset by
sharp increases in other types of
construction, particularly in private
ly-financed factory building, and in
commercial, religious, educational,
hospital and miscellaneous struc-
lures.
In June privately-financed con-
struction tctaled nearly half of total
construction as compared with 40
per cent privately financed con-
struction in June, 1914. Privately
financed factory building accounted
for ISL 100000 of total June, 1915
construction, or two and a half
time more than the volume of con-
struction in this category in June,
1914.
Nonindustrial, military and Gov
eminent financed industrial con-
struction ($60,0oO,0oO and $4,000 900,
respectively, in June, l945) is expect
ed to decline sharply during the re-
mainder of 1915, as military require
ments in the construction field con-
tinue to decline.

|Priorifies Granted
Builders for $4,000
Homes, MIA Reports

The Nations builders have pri
critics for $4,000 privately financed
houses on which construction ha.
not as yet been started, and more
than $500 privately financed
houses are now being built, the
National Housing Agency reported
today.
An additional $4,000 privately
financed houses for which priori-
ties are now available have been
programmed" by MIA, the agency
said. Moreover. MIA explained, the
agency has authority to issue
90, 900 more priorities before jan
uary l. The great bulk of these
will be for private construction,
MIA said.
This illustrates the, size of the
residential building program which
Is getting under way" John H.
Blandford, jr., national housing adj
ministrator, pointed out.
'It should be understood, how
ever, that issuance of authority
to build doesn't mean that con-
struction will start Immediately
Builders have to secure sites, make
plans, obtain materials. But the
way has been cleared for them
as far as possible.
1--WE hope to see $4,000 houses
started in the third quarter-from
July l to September 80. This
compares with $4,000 started in
the first quarter and an estimated
SIS, 900 in the second quarter. We
are hoping for 100000 starts in
the next II months, although we
fully realize the difficulties build
ers may face even with the avail
ability Of programs and priorities
The job now is for builders to
get under construction the hous-
ing already programmed.
