New Building Next Year Expected To Ercee d 1945 bv 60%

Washington-New construction in the United Statespublic and private-will reach $7.3 billion in 1946, and additional expenditures on repair and maintenance will boost the grand total by at least another $5 billion, according to revised estimates of the Department of Commerce.

Construction-in 1946 should be 60 per cent better than in 1945 if present expectations are fulfilled, the department said.

"The real reason, however, for labeling 1946 a good year is that it will be a year of expansion," William H. Shaw, chief of the department's construction statistics unit, said. "By the end of 1946 we can, and qhould, be building at an annual rate of better than $9 billion, with a goal of at least $12 billion by 1947, and, r.ve hope,'ivell on the way to sustained high employment."

Mr. Shaw said that this "rosy vielv".requires one qualification-the anticipated goals will not be achieved unless manufacturers, dealers, builders, management and labor all work together to keep costs rvithin reason.

"Buyer resistance and economic uncertainties ntight cause a loss of as much as half a billion dollars in 1946 construction volume," Mr. Shaw warned. "Our forecast assumes reasonable 66515-qlsss to present levels-and it assumes the internal cooperation of all segments of the industry as well as a miriimum of materiai and labor bottlenecks. In short, it assumes that the construction industrv will do its share of reconversion and do it well."

Mr. Shaw said that one "striking feature" of the 1946 estimate was that "almost three-fourths of the total is privately financed."

Discuss Reconversion Period Problcmg

(Continued from Page 4) the lumber dealer handles and distributes practically every building material or building unit that goes into a home. To pre-view your homi:, he said, visit your local lumber dealer.

It was brought out during the meeting, that before the war, lumber dealers built 73% of the homes constructed in the United States; that during the war approximatily 65% ol the lumber healers prefabricated portable farm buildings for the farmers and that 8O/o of these lumber dealers plan to continue to ,manufacture portable farm buildings. It was not surprising therefore, to find that if the prefabricated home was to become a factor in the home building market, lumber dealers would handle and distribute them also.

Although many lumber dealers have not yet begun to experience a flow of materials through their yards, the mood prevailed that the pipelines of distribution rvould be filled in March, when building in most sections of the country actually begins. Freed from most of the buitding restrictions and shackled only to OPA price control, the consensus of the meeting was that if the strike situation lvere straightened out, production and employment would be the salvation of the country during the reconversion period.
