SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1946. IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. THREE Why Building Supplies Lag Material Shortage Slows Vet Housing New York----Building material shortages now are threatening the veterans' home building program. Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt has set a goal oi 1.200,000 dwellings to be started this year and 1.500,000 more for 1947. But, the civilian production administration estimates that lumber output will fall 15 percent short of needs, bricks 18 percent under the mark and cast iron radiators 52 percent below requirements.

A survey of executives of the nation's leading materials and equipment producers shows the most common reasons for the crisis to be inadequate manpower, insufficient raw materials, price confusion and unstable labor conditions. The survev was conducted by the F. W. Dodge fact finding organization for the construction industry- Excerpts from statements by executives in various fields follow: Floor and wall materials: "Inadequate lumber mill production. "Eight months behind on shipments.

"Unless rough lumber is channelled a through the ilooring industry and out of black markets there not going to be much hardwood for the remainder of the year." Hardwood: "Strikes in steel and brass mills have slowed duction. "It will be four to six months before there will be any apparent improvement Masonry materials: "There is ample cement producing capacity to take care of construction anticipated in the next few years Paint and finishers: "It does not look as if the supply of paint products will begin to catch up with the demand until sometime in 1947 "The industry is operating on a dry-oil quota of 75 percent of average consumption during 1940-1941 Roofing and siding: "Have curtailed production roofing and siding products until such time as there is an adjustment in prices "Our statistics on production over the last four years show a definite drop in average productivity of workers Insulation: "Some building insulation materials are out of production owing to price confusion "Lack of labor and inefficiency have lowered output Lighting: "In January 1346 we shipped a greater amount of standard equipment than in any other one month in the history. of our company. Production has diminished rapidly from January to due to lack of materials Air conditioning and heating: "Present force can fabricate all s.eel procurable "The best we can do is to forecast and plan production on a six-months basis "Strikes (outside our plants) arc reflected in less output Doors and windows: "Strikes in industries producing raw materials, such as lumber and glass, have slowed down production performance in adjusting prices has discouraged produc- i tion Glass: "To produce more glass, plants will have to be expanded.

This was announced today by Howard Vielmetti, city attorney, and George Hewlett, director of the Chamber of Commerce. Announcement of proposed es tablishment of the new business, negotiations for which have been under way for some time, was also made at a meeting, Monday night, of the council, attended by Frederick A. True, DePere, who wiil own the proposed factory, and Joseph Besiak, Iron Mountain, who will be e'mployed by True as manager.

Besiak was formerly manager of the Quinnesec Box company. Garments to be made at the factory be rayon and satin lingerie. The Lake school building, unoccupied for many years, is owned by the school district. The land on which it is situated was leased by the schools from the Keweenaw Land association. Negotiations are being conducted, with the approval of the school board and the city council, to secure assignment of the lease to the city.

The school board has agreed to deed the building to the city for the sum of $1. The city, in turn, will rent the building to True.

They plan to erect a $200,000 layout which will give employment to about 200 men during the construction period and expect their payroll will regularly run between 85 to 100 men when the plant is in operation. City Manager O. G.

Holway received definite word, over the signature of P. W. Abendroth, vice- president, that decision to locate in Ishpeming is final. The Abendroths have been mill operators for years and have an excellent reputation throughout the northern part of the country. Decision to come to Ishpeming was made chiefly because it is the center of the source of supply and there will be a uniform flow of materials and stabilized portation costs.
