Baker, chairman of the Construction Industry Information committee of Washington, D. C. "A far larger proportion of the population is living in well equipped houses in good repair than ever before and a far smaller proportion of the population is living in 'substandard' housing than at any time In the past," Baker said. Hie Improvement In quality of our housing Is borne out in every study made. More new housing Is needed, and there are several million Older homes which should be improved or removed, bui.progress has bean made at a rapid rate. On the basis of previous surveys of the bureau of the census and additional information, it is estimated that we now have at least eight million more nonfarm dwellings which have private baths and toilets and are in good structural condition than we had in 1040. This has come about through new cohstruction, remodeling of existing structures to form additional dwelling units, and repair and modernization operations. There are at least seven million more houses in the non-farm supply having electric lighting facilities, and about 96 per cent of all nonfarm dwellings now have this convenience.

However, the Couucil said the percentage of fatal accidents in' which mechanical condition is involved still is twice as high as it was in 1941, according to the best available information. The importance of mechanical condition in preventing traffic accidents has resulted in a special emphasis program scheduled by the Council for May to call nationwide attention to the necessity for vehicle inspection. Determining the role *of mechanical failure in an accident often la difficult because such failure becomes part of the wreckage, according to the Council. Authorities estimate, however, that mechanical failure is the direct cause of from 3 to 11 per cent of all highway accidents. The Council says it is not possible to definitely evaluate the effectiveness of motor vehicle inspection laws. The same safety consciousness which brought about the inspection law undoubtedly brought about Improvement of all elements of the accident prevention program. However, one of the findings of the recent nationwide police brake check program was that in states with good motor vehicle inspection prograniH, a very low percentage of motor vehicle checked had inadequate brakes. In one state not requiring periodic inspection, poor brakes were found on 27.7 per cent of the cars, while in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts and New Jersey, with good inspection programs, deficiencies were found in 2.9, 3.7 and 5.6 per cent respectively.

The previous record for private activity was In 1947, when expenditures were $10.9 billion. At the same time that private expenditures were being pushed to record levels, the combined bill for public works conducted by federal, state and local governments reached a top figure for peacetime of $4.0 billion. This may be compared with $3.1 billion spent for public works in 1947, the previous peacetime peak year, and $2.3 billion spent in 1936, when federal public works expenditures were freely made as an instrument of economic recovery.
