Building Lccdcr Urgo Lifting Curbr on Low-Co* Homcr

William P. Atkinson of Oklahoma City. president of the National Association of Home Builders, addressed a large group of builders and community developers at a banquet in .the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, Tuesday evening, June 5. The event was sponsored by the Building Con' tractors' Association of Catifornia and the Home Builders Institute of l.os Angeles, both affiliates of the NAHB.

Regarding the national home-building outlook, he said:

"The pubtic will be fortunate if the building industry can start 800,000 units this year.

"We feel that as long as our materials and labor are availallle, the construction of houses for the average man is not in any rvay inflationary' The best opinion is that for some time to come, labor and materials will be more than ample to meet the volume of production which rve can foresee.|'

He pointed out that the National Association of Home Buitders has recommended to Congress that present drastic curbs be lifted over the lower and moderate-price income groups, and expressed hirnself as optimistic regarding the mortgage loan situation which he believes will clear itself in a reasonable time. One of the strongest challenges confronting the building industry, he said, is the constrttction of lou'er-cost housing for rent and for sale.
