Almost all homes started in
1854 were started by private
builders, rather than by public
agencies. Only 19.400 public
housing units were begun, o

before.
The gain for private dwelling
construction for the entire year
amounted altogether to l27,-
800 units over the previous
year, BIS figures showed.
The proportion Of single
family houses was greater last
year than during the year be-
fore. Single-family house con-
struction gained in 1854 for the
third straight year. Nine in

started during the year were Of
the single family type.
Rental-type housing put un-
