It exceeds the ownership ra- tio found in most parts of the United States. lJCII ARE the conclusions ar- rived at after surveys by the De- partment of Labor, by the Com- merce Department, wh'ich has just released its National Housing In- vento* T, and by other agencies. They reveal an estimated 67.8 percent of the dwelling units in OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. TIlE TIN HAT On H illcrest Fountain Light Groceries & Drugs Shelton to be owned by their occu- ants as compared with 544 Der Pent'in Ule United States m'd x'vitl 54.5 percent in the Western States. The gain was achieved in the seven-year span after 1950, when the Census of Housing, taken that year, showed home ownership lo- cally at 66.3 percent. THE RISE represents the aver- age advance in the period for the region encompassing Shelton and is attributed in part to the fact that better economic conditions during most of those years made it possible for many people to satisfy their urge to own their own homes. Other contributing factors were easier private credit, except dur- ing one or two years, as well as Federal aid made available through the F.H.A. and V.A. pro- grams. Solid advances have also been made in the physical condition of dwelling units in the area, both through modernization and repair work and through the replacement of aflapidated structures with new ones. \\; % AT TIlE TIME of the 1950: sus, 87.3 percent of the dwellings in Shelton had hot and cold run- ning water, flush toilets and pri- vate baths and were found to need no major repairs. The current housing inventory shows that well over 90 percent of the houses in the region are now in that approved category. The steady improvement in the quality and condition of the na- tion's dwelling places, together with the better spread in owner- ship, are viewed as a great source of stability in our economy.
