Chicago March 3 Curt C Mack director of underwriting of the Federal Housing Administration predicted about 350000 to 400000 houses would be built the first year after the war with total cost near 2000000000 dollars.

H O Walther vice president of Bell Savings and Loan Association added that old home demand may lag as new construction rises and FHA 90 percent financing encourages building over buying old homes.
