Insulating Garages Helps Winter Car Starts Easier
Lining unheated garages with insulating board will help keep the building warm in winter and thereby make starting the car easier on cold mornings.
New Durable Construction Materials From War Time
Postwar housing centers on durable innovations from the commerce department. Foaming insulation plastics fill gaps, steel roofing, resin boards, scratch resistant paints, new veneer coatings, waterproofing, and rustproof insect screen cloth. Costs may rise but techniques could return homes to prewar prices. John B. Blandford Jr urges government backed research. FHA plans include continued public housing and private home financing. Proposals seek unemployment protections for mortgage payments, guaranteed returns for large investors, and a federal blighted area rebuilding program funded at low interest with repayment from future property yields. A national program could cost 12 to 15 billion dollars over years.
