Better Material Used in Residences Survey Reveals
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10.—California home building, in point of volume and value, is at the highest level in seven years, C. J. Ryan, vice-president in charge of the mortgage loan division of Investors Syndicate, revealed here today.
A decline of 4.28 in per person building costs last year, the first drop since 1933, helped lift residential construction in thirteen California cities to a volume but slightly below that of 1930, the base year of this housing study.
"In a new survey of 41 states and the District of Columbia," Ryan explained, "California's thirteen cities—which contain 52.83 per cent of the state's population—held second place both in number of homes constructed and their valuations."
