Defense To Be Factor In ’41 Building

The national defense program is the main factor behind 1941 as the peak year for building since 1930. The Architectura Forum forecasts total construction at 7.755 billion dollars, up 18 percent from 1940, with government and defense funds driving a 1.31fold rise to 980 million in military and naval construction. Public housing and private work combine to lift residential totals to 2.6 billion, a 13 percent gain, while private nonresidential activity grows slowly. A price surge for labor and materials could derail the forecast, the forum warns.
