Tentatively, we believe that between 400,000 and 450,000-non-farm dwelling units will be constructed during the calendar year 1937. “The most careful estimate we can make is that during the present year | about 270,000 non-farm dwelling units | will have been constructed.” McDonald said his 1937 estimate was predicated on certain assump- | LEWIS & THOS.
