It fears that if all controls are lifted builders will concentrate on highercost homes. The biggest need, it emphasizes, is for lowcost residences.

This might lead to the payment of bonuses and other devices to obtain malerials OPA proposes freeing from all restrictions homes costing up to |B,OOO. Homes costing from SB,OOO to $12,000 would require an NHA construction certificate. The lid would stay tight on all homebuilding above $12,000. NHA goes along with OPA s arguments. However, it feels WPB controls could be modified
