No Drastic Curtailment In Building
Mr Joe Stein a local building materials dealer and member of the Public Affairs Committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association says defense production will not force drastic curtailment of home building. He notes materials supply will be tighter but enough for private construction and repairs, with fewer large war plants than in World War II. Officials hope no private building permit system is needed and housing starts will stay in line with material supply.
