HOUSING NEEDED
The housing authorities have resharp
ened their pencils and worked out a new
set of figures for the lumber industry
to aim at. So far the figuring has been
chiefly addition, for the sum total of
needed houses continues to grow.
O f the country’s nearly 30,000,000
town and city houses, more than 6,-
000,000 are over 40 years old, and ap
proximately 4,000,000 are in need of
major repairs.
Population is increasing by more than
a million each year. One and one-half
million couples are getting married
yearly. And some millions of returning
service men are thinking about the sub
ject.
