Garages Surpass Homes for Families in 1920 Says Labor Chief
Secretary of Labor Davis cites a department study showing 1920 construction heavily favored garages and moving picture houses over family housing and churches. In 196 cities with over 36 000 population, 1 204 490 764 dollars were spent on building, with 68 637 one family houses and 54 02 two family homes. Moving picture venues cost 40 524 240 dollars, schools 50 3 140, while garages exceeded church and hospital expenditures combined. The report notes housing for families lags behind rising demand and, applying 1916 marriage rates, 1920 city marriages would create demand for more homes than built.
