Home Building Figures Show Decline In Canada

new homes were started and few-. or completed in April and in ihcl first four months of this year thani in the corresponding periods;-ell

1949, the Bureau of Stafistics re- ported today.

But the number of houses under construction at the end of April still was higher than at the end of the corresponding month last year. The total was 50.775. an in- crease of about 2,000. Part of the increase was due to Newfound- iand's inclusion in the i950 figures.

No reason was given for the drop in the number of starts and completions but Resources Minis- ter Winfers said recently that sky- rocketing liimbcr prices and a shortage of lumber were respons- ible for ii decline in home con- struction.

The Bureau said completions in April were estimated at 5.397 un- its, compared with 7.251 in April. 1949. This made a total of 23.270 completions for the
