PENNSYLVANIA HOME BUILDING LAGS BEHIND POP¬ ULATION GAIN
Residential   Construction

Cares For 30.33% of
Population Growth
Value, Volume Off,
Though Costs Dip
Pennsylvania home building con¬ tinues to lag behind the .state's population growth, C. J. Ryan, vice president of Investors Syndicate, re¬ vealed today.
Twenty-three cities in Pennsylvan¬ ia last year put up new liouslng suf¬ ficient to shelter only 13,876 people, or 46.03 per cent of the 30.142 esti¬ mated population gain in that per¬ iod. These same cities erected homes for 70,076 people from 1931 to 1938. Inclusive, or enough to ac¬ commodate only 30.33 per cent of ttie 229.320 estimated increase In popula¬ tion during the eight year period.
"Tliese twenty-three cities of Pennsylvania, namely: Allentown, Altoona, Bethlehem, Butler, Chester, Easton, Erie, Harrisburg, Haileton, Johnstown, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mc- Keesport, Newcastle, Norriatown, Philadelphia, PitUburgh, Reading, Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Williams¬ port, Wilktosburg and York," ex¬ plained Mr. Ryan in oommentlng on the company's new national housing survey, "ranked eighth In volume of new hotulng last year In a list of 41 states and the District of Columbia. The forty-two regions contained 310 cities whose populatton totaled two- fifths of the nation.
"Volume of new housing in these Pennsylvania cities, which contain 41.03 per cent of the state's popu¬ lation, for the 1931-1938 period rank- ed seventh tn the regions studied. In point of decrease In volume last year from that of 1937, these cities ranked fourth. They registered the ninth highest drop in volume last year from that of 1930 in the group of regions sur\eyed.
1938 Coate Down 159.69
'"Average per person new housing cost in these twenty-tliree Penn¬ sylvania cities In 1938 was $1,081.45, a drop of $39.69, or 5.23 per cent, from ttie $1,141.14 level of 1937. La.st year's new housing cost per person was $142.93. or 11 67 per cent, below tlie 1930 level of $1,224.38. NUieteen thirty usually is referred to as the •normal" building year In this coun- try."
The Investors Syndicate study points out that per person new hou.5. Ing cost for the 1931-1938 period In these twenty-three cities averaged $1.16506. or in the ninth highest In (Continued on Page Pour)

with the posting of Its millions of old-age insurance accounts com¬ pleted for 1938, the Social Security Board today announced that any worker may now obtain a statement showing the amount of wages cred¬ ited to his account up to January 1, 1939.
It was emphasised that the state¬ ment showing the status ot a work¬ er's account will be sent to any applicant, regardless of the time he was employed or the amount of wages he received.
A jrear ago the board adopted the policy ot making wage Information available as soon u accounts are posted. Although employers report tbe wages of their employees every 3 months, the posting of the wage Items Is delayed, tor reasons of economy, until all wage reports for the year have been received.
Por the convenience of wage earn¬ ers who ask tor statements, the Bureau of Old-Age Insurance has sent to all the Board's field olBc.| ' post cards carrying the request for' a wage statement. Space is left on the card for the applicant to write In his name, account number, and address. This card should be (Continued an Past fivt)

It Is desirable also, the com¬ mittee says, that the farmer have ready for the checker all papers pertaining to the 1939 Program.
