He repeated his previous announcement an-nouncement that his acencv be lieved Provo needed a better -"class home "which could compete com-pete in the post-war competitive market with anything built in the next five to 10 years," and that to do this the homes would have to cost between 57,000 and $10,000. This need existed in Provo, he asserted, because the great majority of the houses built here during the war were- of the "$4,000 to $6,000 lower price range." Mr. Weggeland was supported in this view by D. Spencer Grow, local realtor and chairman of the chamber of commerce building committee. Asked how the homes would then be sold if veterans could not hi iv them. Gordon Wpffpp- land. state FHA director said they could be sold to anyone else 30 days after completion, if veterans vet-erans have not claimed them by then. Under, terms of the hew V" ft ffi"l $6,200 was the dividing price line. and that the upper bracket homes were being placed in Provo. Mr. Weggeland left the way dpen for building on privately selected se-lected lots instead of subdivisions subdivis-ions by saying the program could be done both ways. Mr. Grow, however, indicated not enough lots were available that people would sell for this purpose, "to build anywhere near the number of homes required." His committee commit-tee had surveyed two sections of the city with disappointing results, re-sults, he said. Many people want to build on their own lots, but cannot do so unless they agree to sell the house to a veteran, he said, and they therefore are refusing re-fusing to sell. He indicated most of the new program would have to be in new subdivisions.

M. tows X M& Shortages, Laws Slow Building in Provo Mayor While 1946 building permits and buildings under construction in Provo exceed those of any previous year except the peak boom year of 1943, the actual construction is being hampered greatly by material shortages and building restrictions, Mayor Mark Anderson declared today. A report from the city engineer's en-gineer's office, Mayor Anderson said, showed that 183 permits for $863,107 in construction have-been issued to June 1 this year. "But," he commented, "of the 183 buildings less than one-third are making any progress due to material shortages. Eleven have stopped entirely due to material shortages. "With laws, regulations and material ma-terial shortages," he added, 'I see no chance of starting any new business construction before the beginning of 1948." The mayor opined that very few veterans "will be able to build the kind of homes that we want to see built in Provo." Homes that cost $5000 to $6000 in 1941 are now costing around $8000, with much uncertainty as to when any kind of building can be finished, he declared. "I think the housing situation could be solved much quicker if the veteran preference did not exist, he averred. Even the vet erans would get houses sooner if those who can build were per mitted to do so and were not hampered by preferential laws." The report on building permits furnished by the city engineer gave a breakdown of the 183 building permits for the first five months of this year as follows: 76 new homes, 15 home remodelmgs, 30 new business houses. 13 busi ness. reroodelings, 6 new industrial indus-trial buildings, 29 garages and miscellaneous small buildings. and 14 business houses with per mits but not started.
