Makings of a \ Housing Boom Here But the Chance May Be Muffed

By ROGER BUDROW

THIS COUNTRY HAS THE MAKINGS of a boom in . new homes but the housjng industry, still functioning on

horse-and-buggy methods,” may turn it inte a dud.

. Estimates vary. from 400,000 dwelling units a year to more than 9 million a year for 10 years, ‘Sheldon R. Coons says, in Barron's. We built one million a year in the boom of the 20's and only 70,000 in

early ~ depression!

years, Boom - ‘making factors are; More than 17 million dwellings need major repairs arid 3 million should be replaced. There are almost 8 mil- = lion ~newly- married vets who can pay 10 per cent down payment on a home. About 4 million war workers, who. have savings, now live ‘in “war housing.” ~ About. 21 million ~ families still their homes? chiefly because they can't afford it.

Mr. Coons mentions several obstacles to a housing boom. We have too many old houses. It makes it harder for a new house to find a customer or good enough price. Can't some way be found, as the auto industry has, to trade old houses in for new? That de-

vice actually speeds auto sales. |:

Why not houses? And why don't we try harder to hold down real estate booms? Inflated values take money that should go into new construction _and tend: to keep alive values -of old houses which ought to be torn down. And our fixed mortgage svstem perpetuates such inflated values. : A cut in interest rates on money

borrowed to build a home would be {1501300 pounds

1300-1500 pounds .

“far more _influential than a cut in material or labor -costs, Mr, Coons believes. “The reason for this fact is that the ‘capital load’ for interest on borrowed capital makes up almost 50 per cent of annual housing costs,” Mr. Coons says. “Therefore a reduction of one-quarter in the interest rate to 3 per cent, from 5 per cent, means a cut of one-eighth in the yearly housing cost. On the other hand, construction wages, ac-

FORD owe 70 TRIM HOURS

WMC Permits Cut in Work

Week from 48 to 40.

DETROIT, May 2 -(U. P,).-Re-conversion labor policy for American industry had its key today from a war manpower commission. order permitting the Ford Motor Co. to trim its work week from 48 to 40 ‘hours at three ‘major plants employing 88,000 workers. The curtailed schedule was authorized by Edward L. Cushman, 31-year-old Michigan WMC director, to’ avert threatened layoff of 16,000 persons engaged in production of aircraft parts. It was the first 40-hour wartime work-week authorization in the in-dustry-packed Detroit area. Cushman said the ruling “is in line with the flexibility required to meet shifting labor demands with minimum dislocation.”

the average, amount to more than 20 ‘per cent of construction costs, so that even if these were cut in half, it could not result in a sav- . ing of more than 10 per cent.” ~ Another obstacle is the complex organization of the housing industry. So many different individuals and organizations — real estate men, banks and other lenders, an architect, contractors, suppliers of materials—have to be dealt with * that the average home buyer often decides it is safer and easier to buy one already built, even if not just according to his liking. - Couldn't a “one-stop” home sales office coordinate these functions somewhat? There are other problems but Mr. Coons sees these are the most obstacles to a post-war)

ee ? WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1045 Sears" Plan Means Steady '40-Hour Pay for W Y tars

By ALLAN L SWIM, La Scripps-Howard Staff Writer CHICAGO, May future earnings {rom Sears, Roebuck & Co., and repay them with work under the constant income plan. . During a slack season an employee may work less than 40 hours in a given week. The company pays him for 40 hours, makes a record of the hours he owes. Orders pile in later and the gmplioyes works more than 40 hours a week. His “borrowed time” is paid off with the work he does in excess of 40 hours weekly. He borrows on a straight-time basis, repays on an overtime basis, can liquidate a three-hour loan with two hours of overtime work. Constant income” simply means that employees draw .at least 40 hours’ pay each week. They come under the plan after six months’ continuous employment by Sears. " The -company never owes. employees.. ¥ pays cash for overtime not used to make up for previous pay. advances. A- great majority of employees dn nine Sears mail order houses are under the constant income plam. A somewhat similar plan for the firm's retail stores was abandoned after the war began because employees rarely worked less than their ‘Pegular schedule of hours. “Sears’ put its constant” income plan into~-o into “operation without fan-
