Portland Plans 2000 New Homes Despite Postwar Slowdown
Portland Oregon leads postwar housing push with a target of at least 2000 houses this year under a U S Department of Interior effort.

Construction dipped during wartime but rose modestly in 1918 with 668 dwellings. Oregon's vast timber and skilled labor supply boosts optimism for building activity absorbing surplus labor.
