SHELTON HAS HOME SHORTAGE
There’ is a marked shortage of homes in,
Shelton to meet the daily calls for habitation, in-
cluding newcomers and residents who are looking.
for “something better,” and attention must soon-l
be turned to new building to take advantage of
the apparent needs.
While little new building is going on there‘
have been a number of sales of old homes during:
recent weeks for permanent residence and some;
property sales looking to new building in the:
spring, when it is certain that a new era of home
building will get under way. i
At present there may be a shortage of both,
workmen and material but this situation will be
relieved as the cantonment at Fort Lewis is al-
most completed and the new building boom at:
