Building Construction in 1941

(Continued from Page 19) it seems probable that private home-building in 1941 will not be on as large a scale as in 19,1O but will return to about the 1939 level. Nevertheless, home-building during the year ahead will provide an outlet for an enormous quantity of building materials of all kinds, and will give employment to many thousan'ds of men in the building trades.

Although increased industrial production resulting from the greatly enlarged public and private building program is certain to increase the consumption of both producers and consumers goods in 194I, most concerns whose business is increasing will rely upon previously unused capacity in filling their orders rather than upon enlarged capacity. Thus most commercial building will concern itself with the erection of additions to old plants and modernization programs rather than with the construction of large new plants.

Some have expressed the fear that construction industry facilities may not prove adequate to carry on such an enlarged program of public and private construction as confronts the nation during the coming months. However, since industry has not been employed to capacity for many years, it seems improbable that it will find it difficult to handle the work ahead. Though temporary shortages of materials and skilled labor may develop, here or there, these are unlikely to continue long.
