Egsential \Var Housing Units Now Under Construction Given Relief bv \fPB

Washington, June Z-More than 100,000 of the most essential war housing units now under construction have been given relief from the restrictions on lumber deliveries contained in limitation order L-12I, it was announced by WPB today.

After thorough investigation by the National Housing Administration and the WPB Lumber and Lumber Products branch, these war housing projects were selected as the ones whose completion \Mere most urgently needed in the war effort.

John B. Blandford, Jr., National Housing Administrator, reported that construction activity on these projects would have ceased almost immediately unless relief had been granted.

The 100,000 war housing units involved are divided almost equally between those publicly financed and privately financed. All of these projects are being constructed to house war workers and employees of war production plants and military and naval establishments, where the local retail lumber stocks are not sufficient to permit the completion of the projects.
