Before a surprisingly sparse

In all, Whittier has proposed
expenditures Of $51S million, In

This was In sharp contrast to

Montgomery County in 1855
again led the Metropolitan
Washington area in the rate of
construction of single family
houses, according to figures re
leased last week by the Washing
ton Real Estate Board.
The county led all ada
cent areas in 1852, 1858 and
1854, but lost out to Fairfax
County in 1855. Montgomery
regained the lead again in
1856 and has held 1t since.
Total units started in Mont
gomery County last year were
3440, followed by Fairfax at 1864
and Prince Georges at 2567.
Though Fairfax was second in
number of single family homes
started, homes there had ar
average value of $4,000 wherea:
in Montgomery County, the aver
age value was $4,000.
Forecasters are predicting Z

struction of all types throughout
the area in 1859. That rate wa:
