We can, however, arrive at a conclusion pos- sessing 2 reasonable degree of ac- curacy, and it is for this purposs that this article is now written. Tn 1916 there was an abundance of living _accommodations in Washing- ton. This is proved by the fact that rentable houses and apartments were then numerous. It is difficult to esti- mate how great this surplus was, and for the purpose of this article we <hall ignore- this factor and assume that the supply and demand for homes was_exactly balanced at the opening of 1916. This error is on the safe side, since our attempt is to fix the earliest date when housing short- age will be at an end. - 7,730 Dwellings Erected. The records of the Inspector of buildings of the District of Columbia show that 7,730 dwellings and 134 apartments were built from July 1, 1515, to June 30, 1922, divided by fis- cal years as foliows: DWELLINGS AND APARTMENT HOUSES, 1916 TO DATE.

S Without laborious investigation, ‘it would be difficult to arrive at the housing value of the above 184 apart- ments We can, however, estimate this value fairly closely if we assume that a family . may be housed in an apartment for about half the cost of an appropriate dwelling.

The conclusion that there is a short- age of homes that will take so many years to overcome is not a welcome one for me to father, and yet it seems 0 be justified. For fear of encourag- ing our landlords too greatly, I have the confident belief that the much- criticized speculative builder, in my opinfon, a most helpful and cour- ageous servant of the community, to whose vision and enterprise such re- lieTas we have experlenced is almost exclusively due, will find it profitable to build even more vigorously than in the year just past; and to the extent that he does-#0 we may sooner be in a position of comparative ease as to the supply of homes far our population. = 41,438 5919 8,490 AUGUSTA, AIKEN, ASHEVILLE.
