WASHINGTON — Nearly half a
million new homes are going up this
year in the nation, breaking all resi
dential building records for the past
ten years.
“Rebuild America” is the battle
cry of the building trades and Amer
ica is responding by building 450,000
new homes this year in comparison
to 347,000 last year and only 62,000 in
1934, figures assembled by the Na
tional Home Builders Bureau show.
But even more significant, econo
mists say, are the indications that the
construction industry at last is filling
its long-expected role of leading the
way back to prosperity. One authori
tative view on this trend is voiced
by John D. Biggers, president of
Libbey-Owens-Ford glass company
and former administrator of the Fed
eral Unemployment census.
“The building materials industry
confidently expects 1939 to mark a
ten-year peak in home construction.

hong-held hopes that building trades industry would lead way to prosperity seem near realization as residential
building records for ten years are being eclipsed with construction of nearly half a million homes. Scope ol
economic benefit this activity brings is pointed out by John D. Biggers (inset), president of Libbey-Owens-Ford
Tlass company and former Unemployment Census administrator, stating that 41 cents of every building dollar
creates jobs for workmen “on the scene” and considerable portion of the 59 cents spent for materials pays wages ol
other workers. At lower right is shown a new home in Florida with large window areas and functional design, includ
ing roof garden, typical of modern trend. Federal Housing Authority reports 500 new homes starting daily under
FHA financing (upper right).

such a record,” Mr. Biggers said.
“New homes s erected 'ast year
sheltered almost 1,500,000 persons,
itself a record since 1929. Yet, for
the decade, home building did not
even catch up with the increase in
population, let alone with new home
needs due to fire, flood and obsoles
cence. There remains a great need
for new homes. The economic value
of activity directed at fulfilling this
need is seen in the fact that 41 cents of
the ‘building dollar’ creates jobs for
workmen ‘on the scene’ and a con
siderable portion of the 59 cents spent
for materials pays wages of other
workerg in mills, quarries and fac
tories.”

Considerable impetus has been
given by such agencies as the United

spending $200,000,000 this year for
low-rent multiple-dwelling projects,
and by the Federal Housing Authority
which reports about 500 new homes
starting daily under FHA financing.

The match trick was the super

away in his high-powered machine,
with a shower of rocks following
him. The culprit first bought the
match from a bystander for a

ten dollars.
